At least 2 breakfasts, at 5am and 9am:
Sprouted wheat bagel (toasted) with almond butter
Organic Granola with unsweetened almond milk and blueberries and banana
Walnuts, raw almonds
Coffee
1 scoop muscle milk with slkimmed milk
Fish oil, iron, magnesium, calcium, d3
On a business day I consume 75% of my calories in the morning.

I work out at 6 and don't eat anything before (rarely have something during). Then, around 9:
1 whole egg, 3 egg whites, scrambled together, with hot sauce and ketchup (heavy sweater, so i don't care about sodium)
2 pieces whole wheat toast
1 cup special k red berries cereal w/ 1 cup skim milk, w/ 1 banana sliced up and mixed in.
That's about 600 calories. If I've done a particularly hard workout, then I'll also have:
~4oz plain Greek yogurt
1 cup frozen berries
1 tbsp jam
1/4 cup of granola.
That's about another 300 calories.
It's a bunch of sugar, but I'm usually pretty glycogen depleted, and within ~45 minutes of working out when I eat it, so I don't worry about that at all.

Be careful on the eggs, I used to live on them but I've had to give them up. My Doctor believes that all the endurance athletes he has eat way too many eggs, probably because it's light protein that is quick and easy to digest. I'm now allowed one every two weeks.

I'm very curious as to why you had to cut eggs down to 1 every 2 weeks, if you don't mind sharing.

I had some blood work done and it showed high bad cholesterol, never had a history of this and I consider my diet good. I eat a lot of eggs, the doctor says it's down to eggs and he has a few patients the same way i.e. very active, healthy diets but high cholesterol but no history of it. I've quit eggs for 3 months and will get tested again this week. I've not done much research on this, happy for you to shoot this down if you think he's wrong.

Lucky Charms and Poptarts.
3 toasted whole-grain bagels with honey, two bananas, fat free milk and black coffee is pretty standard. Is that even healthy? I'm 6'4" 183 (ding) with 5-7% bf.

I'm not always a healthy eater, but when I am I usually rotate the following breakfasts:
fruit & veggie smoothie (5-6 servings of fruit/veggies and 1-2 cups skim milk) usually takes me most of the morning to finish it
granola (homemade so there's no extra sugar/fat other than what I know is in there), fat free plain yogurt (usually greek) and fresh berries
1-2 times a week I have a breakfast of 3-4 scrambled eggs & a couple pieces of fruit w/ some OJ & carrot juice. I don't drink OJ a lot because it's just too sweet for me (and the mass produced not from concentrate stuff is so over processed etc...)
It's usually my second largest meal of the day. I tend to eat a larger lunch so I feel full longer in the afternoon for workouts etc. But I try to get at least 500 calories for breakfast which sometimes makes me feel like I'm eating a lot of food because most of what I eat is pretty low calories

Protein powder, since it's the quickest way for my body to get protein. I add a few hard boiled eggs and cereal with 1% if I have time. If not, I add malto to the protein or just some chocolate candy for the carbs.
Oh for those who take coffee as part of the first thing in the morning, it's very bad for you for many reasons such as decreased testosterone (google cortisol and coffee).

weekdays: 1-2C of diced veggies - some mix of tomatoes, bell peppers, brussels sprouts, asparagus, onion, garlic, kale, spinach, broccoli, etc sauteed in olive or coconut oil, then mix in 2-3 eggs (local), sauteed then broiled (frittata)
weekends for longer morning workouts - smoothie with 1C coconut milk, 1-1.5C mixed berries/cherries (fresh or frozen), walnuts or almonds, vanilla, greek yogurt yogurt or protein powder
espresso with cream or cappuccino unsweetened

This is just a general reply to the thread, but yours in particular struck me. I am amazed at how much time some people appear to have to cook breakfast in the morning. Do you guys work from home, or just get up insanely early? There are lots of delicious suggestions in here, though.

I do get up early, between 5 and 5:30 to walk my dog. Always been a morning person. I chose to live less than 10K from where I work so my commute is <20 minutes most days. I also have several ways of cutting down on prep time:
-do all my veggie chopping on the weekends, then store in tupperware so it's just a handful of this and a handful of that
-make a double batch of fritatta so I only have to do it every other day
-make the fritatta during/after dinner cooking so it's just a minute in the microwave away from being ready

The same thing has struck me. How do you work out first thing in the morning, cook such a big breakfast and get to work at a decent time?
