Do you? Do you eat when you wake up, or just wait until lunch? If you eat breakfast, what do you like to put in your growling belly?

Please share your morning eating habit stories here. I usually don't eat breaky, but I think now I'm getting too skinny, so I need delectable ideas for my morning fare.

What works for you in the a.m.?

(Please don't say rice and kimchi. That is only for after 12 p.m.)

Seolleong tang...hmmmm

[yingwenlaoshi]

I usually grab a sandwich at Family Mart or have donkas on a stick from the shop next to my academy. That's at 2 pm, though. Usually I'm sleeping in the morning after having eaten a big meal late or in the wee hours of the morning.

The most important meal of the day.

I have porridge (imported wheatlets, Quaker oats, etc) or cereal or pancakes or eggs and toast,
a fruit (banana or apple or oranges or canned peaches),
sometimes also with yogurt.

I'm having oat porridge with peaches this morning. It's a beautiful sunny blue sky Sunday. Enjoy!

[icnelly]

Usually a large apple and one of those bulgaris yoghurt drinks.

I don't wake up hungry. No matter how hungry I am at bedtime, I don't feel it as soon as I wake up: a couple hours later is a different story.

[Juregen]

Bread, Cheese, Jam, and Coffee.

[Thunndarr]

Half a bagel, protein shake, several cups of black coffee.

[Justin Hale]

McDonalds.

2 sausage-y and egg-uh mek-mop-heens

[Flash Ipanema]

Two cups of coffee last me the first few hours, then I have something small like yogurt, crackers, or a hard boiled egg. I usually eat an actual lunch right before work.

A few years ago I started having just fruit for breakfast, and it really helps me have good energy in the morning, i.e. an apple and a few bananas, two or three apples, half a melon (cantalope or honeydew in the States, but no such luck here - $$$). These days, five or six of those super cheap oranges makes a great, healthy breakfast.

Five egg whites, one yolk, boiled. One bowl whole-grain cereal with low fat milk. Two pieces of fruit. Two cups of very strong coffee with whole milk.

Almost never varies, except for the weekend, when the eggs are done in an omelet.

A (university) student once asked in class about what I eat for breakfast. When I told her, she answered: "You are pig." She said she never ate breakfast. She was quite fat, though cute in a juvenile porcine kind of way.

[spliff]

Yes, but then I eat...

[crusher_of_heads]

I never wake up hungry on weekdays-between 6 and 630am.

2 bananas for breakfast, perhaps coffee.


Weekends-I usually wake between 730-9, use the remote to put on BBC and am slow to get out of the rack-hungry enough to make an omellette on Saturdays before I burn it all off at the gym

[thiophene]

I never wake up hungry, I can go hours and have gone all day without food, it's once I start with my first meal that I can't stop eating, and food tastes better past 10pm...for me anyways. Been like this as long as I can remember.

[bacasper]

I never miss breakfast unless I've eaten too much too late the night before. Weekdays, it's usually a one-egg cheese omelette with any combination of onions, garlic, peppers, and mushrooms, topped with Mexican salsa, on toast. Weekends are for pancakes: banana, apple, or strawberry with 100% pure maple syrup from Costco. OJ to wash down the 10-12 vitamins and supplements I take, and coffee, always. Only way to start the day.
