Im curious what you start your day with? Today i had one cup of coffee and drink 2 tall glasses of smoothie. Kale, blueberries, coconut milk and one cup grains and oats.

I eat 2-3 Christopher high omega 3 hard boiled eggs and a panera sprouted grain bagel flat (they freeze nice) and 2 cups of coffee. Switched to decaf this week for a test I had done yesterday, on the fence whether to mostly eliminate caff...going to give it a couple weeks and see how caff and artificial sweetener free stacks up :-). Might bake some maple syrup banana bread with whole rye flour instead of the panera sprouted grain bagel flats.

My 100 mile breakfast

gjhsu

Typically a small bowl of cereal or oatmeal and a banana.

clarkbre

A typical breakfast for me is 16oz black coffee with a banana and 1 cup of quinoa or plain oatmeal with raspberries and cinnamon.

On the weekends i may splurge and have some applegate chicken sausage links and an egg over easy.

Standalone 

Coffee (mix of decaf and reg coffee) and a bowl of healthy-ish cereal from Trader Joe's or whatever... 2% milk -- I wound up deciding that the GMO soy milk I drank for years wasn't for me.

Sometimes its nothing but coffee.

I think all but the guy who posted the humongous Denny's style breakfast are shorting yourselves... many if not most nutritionists would suggest that your single biggest meal of the day should be breakfast, because your body then has the most active time left in the day to burn off those calories, and that dinner should be more along the lines of what you guys are posting.

I generally aim for 800 calories for breakfast, 700 for lunch and 600 for dinner, and that allows 300 for snacks during that day, and on days when I cycle more than two hours or so I allow myself an extra 300-400 calories -- but never for dinner and never within 4 hours of bedtime.

Today for instance I had 16 ounces of Greek yogurt (560 calories) and 1/4 cup of ancient grain granola (95 calories). For lunch I will go heavy in bulky vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower, which fills you up and takes away snacking urges. Then dinner can be an 8 ounce chicken breast, an 8 ounce filet mignon or a 10 ounce pork tenderloin plus 100 calories of vegetables on the side.

I lost 110 pounds on a 1700 calorie a day diet (plus cycling 100-125 miles a week) and now have maintained goal weight for eight months so far on a 2400 calorie maintenance diet plus 125-150 miles a week, so I can say from personal experience this kind of diet is both sustainable and enjoyable. I've learned to cook as part of the bargain!

Made a scramble:

3 eggs, diced 3 pieces of turkey bacon, 1oz ea of onion and green pepper, topped with 2oz diced tomato. Garlic power, oregano and black pepper to taste.

Yum!


edit: forgot seasoning

I like to make sausage biscuits with Jimmy Dean sausage and Pilsbury biscuits.

Depends. If I cycle commute, I eat a large cliff bar while walking the dogs and then take in one Gu gel before leaving the house. I'll take another gel at the 45 minute mark, and then eat a can of sardines shortly after arriving at work.

If I drive, nothing but coffee until I get to work, where I eat that can of sardines, usually by 10AM.

On weekends, I usually wait until the wife gets up and eat what she makes. That often varies, both what she makes and when she gets up.

bassjones

Greek Yogurt and Steel Cut Oats and a 20oz coffee.

Jarrett2

A giant egg white omelet and fresh cut pineapple during the week. Breakfast tacos at the local TexMex place on the weekends.

Three eggs over medium, three pieces of bacon, one slice whole grain bread, and coffee.... same as everyday, but some days (weekends) I add fruit too.

I am usually shy of 140 carbs per day, and have dropped 45 pounds since March 2014 (slow and steady wins the race). I also have increased my distance and speed capabilities from 1 mile and snail paced to 30 miles with an average of 12 miles per hour (and this is with me walking the last 3/4 mile due to cramping, riding up hill for the first half of the ride and against a good headwind the second half).

Yendor72

Coffee with 2 tablespoons creamer, Greek yogurt and 1/4 cup granola.

I don't buy into the big breakfast trend, if you are sticking to a calorie goal and not exceeding it you will lose weight. If you choose to eat 3000 calories for breakfast you're not sticking to your plan. I try not to exceed 500 calories per meal and have about 300 left for snacks in my 1800 calorie a day regime.

caffein8ed

Prepping to leave the house:
6oz. tart cherry juice
12oz. coffee

During commute:
20oz. coffee

After arriving at work:
6oz. yogurt
a serving of fruit (banana today, strawberries yesterday, probably cantaloupe tomorrow)
a handful or two of almonds

You are my hero!

That looks mostly good to me. what is the yellow food on the left?

I eat 2 eggs, sometimes 2-3 slices bacon or 3-4 ounces of pork sausage, plus either two slices of sourdough toast with real butter or 2 cups shredded hash browns. This is my go to breakfast at least 6 days a week.

jsigone

lately: homemade double cappuccino, pc of fudge, banana and granola bar

Lately my breakfasts have been pretty light: typically two pieces of whole grain toast with peanut butter and a banana. Oh yeah, at least a couple cups of strong, black coffee.

If I'm doing a big ride, I'll try to incorporate some eggs into the meal as I find eggs really sustaining. But for my normal workday routine a light breakfast seems to be working out fine.

IBOHUNT

The "stuff" on the left looks like I just finished a hard TT
and... better do something with the middle bit of that egg. Breaks open and a chick comes ooozin out

MikeRides

During the week I usually just have a small bowl of honey nut cheerios with a banana and two cups of black coffee. Some days I just grab an apple or banana to eat on the road. Then always a 16oz mug of coffee on my commute, which I tend to refill when I get to work.

Weekend breakfasts ~2 hr before a long ride usually consist of: 3 eggs over easy, a diced potato sauteed in butter with onions & peppers, 3 strips of bacon, and a short stack of pancakes with at minimum 2 cups of coffee and a 8oz glass of orange juice.
