My kids are grown but when they were little I always got up and did breakfast- though not the whole bacon, waffles French toast BS- way too much salt and sugar. Oatmeal - yes, plain yogurt and fruit- yes- eggs- yes.
Now that I'm getting older- I'm not hungry in the AM- so I don't eat breakfast every day BUT if there's a workout early AM here are my go to(s)9 grain bread toasted- 1/2 oz of Brie cheese and 1/2 c of blueberries
Or
6oz of Chobani Greek yogurt with 1/2 c of blueberries
Or
6 oz of Chobani yogurt-1/3 c of uncooked whole grain oatmeal with 1/2 c blueberries ( for long training rides)
Or
A smoothie-3 c spinach , 1/4 c strawberries, 1/4 c blueberries , 1/2 c Acai ( no sugar added) juice and 2 T of EAS whey protein powderIf I ate bacon and waffles/ pancakes/ French toast I would have to take a major nap about 8 AM
My "sugar"/carbs comes in raw fruit form and my protein comes in Greek yogurt or protein whey- sometimes I will di scrambled egg whites and spinach with a little cheddar cheese. That's mor of an occasional Sun AM or holiday breqkfastBack in the day I loved bacon and waffles smothered in real maple syrup- but this old body just can't run on that junk now

@bbk OMG, you're my clone!!!

@bbk Me too. I have to work early on the weekends but start at 10:30 weekdays so weekends really throw me off.

@hutch5801 You are killing me! I just ate that HEB ice cream I love so at the moment the bacon looks better. I think I have a sugar low!

@ladybeachbum That dang bacon looks amazing IMO

@ladybeachbum
I must confess I am eating AMAZING 😉

@hutch5801 What are they going to come up with next to keep me from drinking my protein drinks? I bought a couple of boxes set to eat (drink) healthier. I forgot to bring them!

@ladybeachbum I do believe in a High Power! 😉

@chasinghosts All that early bird catches the worm stuff my parents told me & my husband told me , hey you can have the worm !!! I give you the worm !!! I don't like or want the worm !I am convinced you are either born a morning person or not & nothing you do is going to change that . As a friend of mine told me we are just wired different .

I cook eggs or bacon most mornings. This morning it's just a cinnamon bagel with cream cheese and coffee. It's my daughters birthday so she gets leftover cookie cake 😊

@nanuq+tikismom I love just the plain bagels toasted with cream cheese on them .

I love this with a toast or warn bagel

We have whole grain frozen waffles, whole grain low sugar cereal, milk, yogurt and fruit on weekdays. I don't cook hot breakfast during the week. I always cook a full hot breakfast on both weekend days with bacon or sausage, eggs, biscuits, fresh baked muffins, pancakes etc. I also will cook hot breakfast on big days like first day of school, testing days and things like that.

@bbk So true BBK I've never been an early bird and never will be.

@Dragonlovermom Like you, we cook a larger breakfast those two days. Thankful for late arrival! Other mornings it is a simpler breakfast with fruit and protein to get DS through to lunch.
