Either a large piece of buttered toast or a bowl of yogurt.

Breakfast sausage and eggs usually and depending on my mood coffee or hot tea. Sometimes I cook potatoes with it usually in the form or hash browns or using left over mash potatoes to make potato cakes. I usually vary sausage and eggs to either an omelette, burrito, if I have peppers on hand or a sandwich when I want cheese with it, else usually sausage patties and eggs over easy or sunny side up. If there's left over rice, egg fried rice with sausage.

Whole wheat toast topped with peanut butter, sorghum syrup, and bananas. The toast has fiber and the peanut butter has protein. The bananas and the tiniest drop of sorghum add enough sweetness to round out the flabor but contain less added sugar than most cereal.

I have to have a protein focused breakfast, so usually some form of eggs. I have a lot of crustless quiches, scrambled eggs, omelets. Good thing I like them so much!

If I ever develop an egg allergy I am completely fucked lol

Frontend web development primarily in React. I used to make apps in React Native but that was over six years ago. I taught myself Python for Flask and SQL so I could start doing the backend. I have AWS Cloud Practioner and Developer certs. I have been unemployed since May.

coffee and weed

[-] IHeartBadCode@fedia.io 2 points 2 months ago

A glass of water. About an hour later a cup of coffee. For lunch I usually have a slice of bread toasted, with butter and jam followed by a cup of coffee.

This pretty much every day.

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 2 points 2 months ago

Orange juice and some kind of simple food. Right now, it is toast with butter.

[-] crimsonpoodle@pawb.social 2 points 2 months ago

Latte at work

[-] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

it varies

been enjoying granola, some berries, and a coconut yogurt recently

breakfast burritos are popular if I have time

sometimes I just drink 14 grams of ground flax seeds mixed into water and a spoonful of peanutbutter

a lot of times it's just whatever leftovers are in the fridge

on a Sunday I might make a more traditional breakfast (toast with jam, eggs, sausage, and cooked greens)

[-] Jollyllama@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I am shook by the flaxseed chug. I am a fibermaxxer myself and have never resorted to such things.

Depending on how much time I have, either some eggs or a piece of fruit. And a fuckload of coffee

[-] ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Coffee and on sundays it’s coffee……. With croissants

[-] Wytch@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Coffee and oatmeal, coffee and pancakes, coffee and eggs, coffee and cereal, coffee and scone, coffee and waffles, or coffee and breakfast burrito.

Sometimes I'll get a cappuccino with oat milk because I'm lactose Intolerant.

Coffee and eggs with chile usually green with a tortilla.

[-] Karcinogen@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago

I have 2 scrambled eggs, toast plus elderberry jelly, 2 sausage patties, and either a glass of milk or orange juice.

[-] happydoors@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I’ll make a latte and snack on some nuts sometimes. Wife has avocado toast or two eggs

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Pot of coffee, a bowl of dried figs, and a few pieces of dark chocolate.

Then I fire a heater at a porcelain target fast enough to launch a small payload into orbit.

[-] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago

If I'm working, I don't have the energy to do more than a toasted bagel with cream cheese. On the weekend, especially if I manage to sleep in, I might do something like an omelette or egg sandwich of some kind. If I have the time, I might go big and break out a can of corned beef hash, cook that up and poach an egg in the middle of it, then have that with some toast.

If it was easier to get and keep fruit without it spoiling before I can eat it, I'd probably throw in a mandarin orange or something as an easy to eat side to my usual bagel, but American supermarkets make it hard to buy small batches of food more frequently rather than making a trip twice a month to stock up on groceries.

[-] ignirtoq@fedia.io 2 points 2 months ago

Handmade arepa with a layer of goat cheese and topped with scrambled eggs with sausage.

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

A few regulars in the rotation:

  • Breakfast sandwich of English muffin or croissant, egg, sausage or bacon, cheese.
  • eggs, hash browns or potatoes, onion, tomatoes, spinach in skillet. With salsa or hot sauce
  • cereal with almond or oat milk
  • Mexican like breakfast tacos or rolled tacos covered in guacamole, pico de gallo, shredded cheese, salsa or hot sauce. If i do a breakfast burrito it’s sometimes too big depending on where it’s from so it’ll save some for later.

Plus One mug of coffee. I tend to eat a more solid breakfast than those around me

[-] socsa@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

Used to be Coffee and cigarettes, but now it's just Coffee and shit posting.

A bowl of Raisin Bran with milk an and 2-3 cups of coffee. On weekends, I do pancakes with bacon and eggs.

[-] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

Croissant and drip coffee with cream.

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

idk, its kind of variable because i truly just do not give a fuck at this point, but my breakfast may be one of the following:

nothing, just not hungry that morning

some kind of soup + toast

small 2-3 egg scramble w/potato, bell peppers, bit of cheese, bit of some kind of meat

ramen w/chicken and veggies

... throw on a small apple or handful of grapes, maybe a small salad (no dressing) or handful of baby carrots, maybe a small muffin onto any of those if i am more hungry than usual and/or trying to make that meal hit more food groups and be a bit more well rounded.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 2 months ago

I usually do not eat for about 4 hours after waking up. If I am hungry immediately after waking, I just want a croissant or some yogurt.

[-] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months ago

Coffee and cigarettes

[-] finitebanjo@piefed.world 1 points 2 months ago

A lot of people I know just skip breakfast, but I personally eat whatever food with no regard for social acceptance. Sometimes it's a fruit and grain bar and a protein shake, sometimes eggs and bacon, sometimes it's vegan stir fry noodles with some soy sauce, idgaf

[-] TheMinions@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

I work from home and can vary my breakfasts. But usually it’s something I can throw in my cast iron, ignore for about 2 minutes, flip, and then ignore for another two minutes before eating.

This includes classics like:

  • Sunny side up eggs -A slice of bacon (or three) -Fried eggs -A piece of toast -Egg in a hole (egg inside toast!) -Reheated pizza (add a few drops of water to the pan and cover for a minute or so)
  • a two egg omelet with onions, peppers, cheese, ham, or whatever I have in the fridge.

All eggs generally include some amount of Piri Piri, chili oil, or cholula depending on what I have stocked.

Other not hot breakfasts include:

  • a banana
  • an orange
  • about a half a cup’s worth of blueberries/grapes/seasonal fruit (like 80 grams if you measure by weight)

If I’m really desperate, I’ll break out the cold cereal.

[-] prime_number_314159@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

My most frequent breakfasts are just coffee, or 2 eggs over medium, some kind of meat (spam, bacon, sausage, or steak in that order of prevalence), and some kind of bread (toast, English muffin, biscuit) with coffee. Those options account for perhaps 85% of my breakfasts.

Sometimes (1-3 times per month?) I have cereal and milk. Very rarely, I'll have fruit and salami.

During the summer, I sometimes substitute iced tea for coffee. During winter, I sometimes have leftovers from dinner the night before. Any time of year, if there's leftover pizza, I'll have that for breakfast, cold, with salt and red pepper flakes added.

About twice a year I pull out my waffle maker, and make waffles on a weekend. Every time I tell myself I should do it more often, but every time it seems to sate my craving for ~6 months.

[-] Fit_Series_573@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Eggs, sausage and potatoes/rice most of the time.

[-] knightly@pawb.social 1 points 2 months ago

Bacon, eggs, and biscuits.

[-] mesamunefire@piefed.social 1 points 2 months ago

Cerial or just coffee.
