The Breakfast Thread

[ChebyshevII PE PMP]

Neat! Report back! Are you doing 18/6? 5/2? Eat-stop-eat? <---I found this to be easier

I'm trying the more common 16/8 method. My first meal is at 11:45a and my last meal is before 7:45p.

I did it yesterday and got hungry near then end, but survived. I actually don't feel too bad.

I tend to accidentally do that if I have a ton of **** going on in the office (meetings/etc.).  End up not grabbing anything to eat for breakfast/have only my black coffee, and starving so end up eating lunch at like 11:30am and I've now been stopping all eating at 8pm.  I never realized how much 'bored snacking' I did on the couch when I suddenly stopped myself, yet still found myself wandering to the cabinet at like 9:15pm.

Did you put the banana in your coffee?

Banana, coffee, protein shake.

That sounds wonderful, but, no.  My morning is fairly slow-witted (like the rest of my day, wah, wah), so a simple banana and coffee.  I think if I tried to use my bullet blender this early in the morning I'd somehow cut off a finger.  Plus cold protein shake in morning, when it's cold, just made my insides curdle a little.

Coffee, Eggs

Turkey on a bagel with mustard, orange Monster.  Pickins are slim in the Supe house right now - Junior polished off three boxes of cereal on her own, and the last of the eggs disappeared with dinner two nights ago.

So, go grocery shopping?

Ahhhhh HOMEMADE SOURDOUGH!! Did you make it??

Nuuu, but I will! This was a commissioned loaf from another engineer friend who is SUPER into sourdough right now and has to unload a lot of test batches.

Fridge coffee + creamer + banana (not a shake, sorry Chatt!)

Coffee is gone but now I have a surplus of creamer.  I'm going to go online and see if there are any recipes that use up international delight creamer since I really don't keep coffee in the house?  Also, not really breakfast-thread related, but maybe?  After 4-months of moving here, I think I've finally figured out what I eat/how much during the week.  This will (hopefully) help me cut out excess and waste during the week?  Idk.

OK, Moneybags McFreetime.

Back at work today.  Frittata, smoked sausage, small side of potatoes, black coffee.  Was hungry after an early/light dinner yesterday.

tbh, it'd just bring it to work and put a "use" "free" sign on it 

i had a fruit smoothie and superhero muffins

Banana, protein shake, coffee.

I'm thinking about stopping coffee. I usually just refill my mug when it's empty, so I probably average about 4-5 a day. I just drink it because I like the flavor, but I doubt it's good for my teeth. I still want a comfort drink during the day, and my idea is maybe just some basic black tea.

Yeah, that's why I switched to soda. /s

Just black coffee for me again.

Two fried eggs on toast and banana

 

[Road Guy]

also a banana and a protein shake - oddly enough I am still low on my protein each day, may have to go to 2 scoops!

First week on the shakes, but I think tomorrow I am going to make some eggs for something solid!

 

[Road Guy]

The wife just sent me this pic of her breakfast? Too much green stuff on top of my eggs...

I don't think that many people drink coffee in my office, or more that...we don't have a Keurig or anything like that, so if they do bring coffee they already have it 'made' by the time they come in.

@Chattaneer PE I used to drink a ton of coffee when I was at the bank.  I've recently been drinking tea at work since it tastes pretty good hot or cold when I inevitably forget it and go to a meeting.  Have an electric kettle on my desk and drink black with an under-filled spoonful of sugar (I used to use fake sugar and I think it was making my body go crazy for insulin or whatever).  

@Road Guy Those eggs have pine nuts which means they prob taste amazing.
