I get up around 5:30 am, eat breakfast and ride about 10 miles/ 45 minutes to work. For breakfast, I usually just have a bowl of milk and cereal, sometimes with fruit. I eat multi-grain cereals rather than the junk food types. In winter, I sometimes have oatmeal. Rarely I will have eggs and toast but usually don't have the time for that.

I usually bring a lunch, typically a sandwich, pretzels, granola bar, banana. I keep yogurt and cheese in a refrigerator in my office at work, along with diet colas and other drinks. I carry my lunch and other gear in a large saddlebag -- either a Carradice Barley or Acorn Med/Large bag, depending on which bike I ride. I bring my lunch mainly because it saves a lot of money and there aren't many options for lunch within walking distance of my office, except for Taco Hell and Subway.
