You guys need to grow up. Wow, yogurt and toast, I'm sure the highlight of your week is going out for a wine cooler with your coworkers.

I'll usually pop a couple biscuits in the oven, then slice up a potato and get that going with olive oil in a pan. After a while I add onion, red or yellow bell pepper, and garlic. Plate up the potatoes then top the biscuits with a fried egg and a couple slices of American cheese.

After a breakfast like that I'm all set to be bored at work for 8 hours and not get hungry till dinner time.

Cheerios with 1% milk and a sliced banana or an egg sandwich made with a multigrain light english muffin, with a little reduced fat mexican blend shredded cheese melted on top.

Two skinless, sriracha-coated chicken legs from the econo-pak I roast on Sundays. Old Weight Watchers trick.

What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?

i get super cranky if i don't have breakfast with in an hour of waking up, so i always have something before i leave home. usually, 2 eggs cooked sunny side up with salt and pepper, and a piece of toast or a tortilla (to get all the yolk yumminess)

when i run out of eggs, i'll have oatmeal with coffee flavored silk (rather than cooking it, i serve it as soon as i get up, shower and get ready, and eat it right before i leave. that way it isn't mushy, which i hate, but its soft enough to eat).

What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?

My breakfast goes like this every weekday:
Coffee #1 (milk, no sugar, brewed one cup at a time)
Whole-wheat toast with peanut butter or cashew butter
Smoothie (banana, yogurt, frozen fruit, flax meal, apple juice)
Coffee #2

I am one of those people who is ravenously hungry in the morning, so I have to eat a pretty big breakfast. And I love sleeping, but I love coffee just a little bit more!

My breakfast is usually either:

-Kashi cereal with soy milk
-Peanut butter, Nutella, and bananas on whole wheat
-Whole wheat & marmite
-Just an apple
I'll drink either soy milk or tea, or the two combined.

I have a rotation because I get bored easily. :)

+one egg, cheddar and tomato on toasted multigrain bread
+Greek yogurt with walnuts and honey
+cottage cheese or a hard boiled egg and a glass of vegetable juice (I prefer Knudsen Very Veggie, but V8 will do in a pinch)
+ricotta from Saxelby's with apricots, pine nuts and a drizzle of balsamic

I love oatmeal but I generally only eat it during the cooler months of the year. When I do I dress it up with blueberries and almonds, or butter and sea salt, or a few dashes of hot sauce, or a little grated sharp cheese.

I drink iced Earl Grey in the summer, hot tea the rest of the year. I'll occasionally have coffee with milk instead. And I drink a ton of water.

Breakfast is half a cup of coffee with half half-and-half and half fat-free half-and-half.

Second breakfast, when I get round to it, is the second half of the coffee with a toasted whole-wheat English muffin, 1/4 cup of 2% Fage (I LOVES my Fage!) and 2 oz. smoked salmon, with some capers, chopped red onion, and/or minced scallion on top.

Alternative is a smoothie with frozen banana, frozen berries, Fage, and OJ, with a scoop of whey protein powder and maybe some flax seeds.

Other alternative is oatmeal (steel-cut porridge oats, thanks -- yeah, the kind that takes 30 minutes to cook. I work at home) with my beloved Whey Low (the only sugar sub I can stand), a sprinkle of coarse salt, and a few toasted walnuts.

I guess my breakfasts vary a fair amount. But lunch is usually either fruit salad (in summer, and if I didn't have fruit in the morning) or lentil and vegetable soup. Fage 2% usually crops up with these options as well.

Since I love my bed and can barely leave it in the morning, I don't eat until I get to work. I used to keep milk in the fridge there for cereal (my favorite, could-eat-it-for-every-meal food), but that got annoying. So now it's instant oatmeal in a cup. Generic (sorry Quaker, I'm poor!) lower sugar apples and cinnamon costs me about $3 for a month's worth.

Ed, I'm curious about your Mimi Sheraton comment. I think her book, FROM MY MOTHER'S KITCHEN is one of the best food memoirs.
For breakfast, I like the habitual. Currently that is Organic Valley cottage cheese (would that it were English) and Trader Joe's Greek style yogurt with banana and some sort of acid fruit. My all time favorite, but no longer available to me, was halved, toasted La Brea Bakery multi-grained "baugette" with a mild feta and thick sliced tomato. And always strong, black coffee
