I’ve got a swim at lunch so I really need to fuel up. Make sure the calories for the meal replace those used plus extra for a swim workout.

Wow, now I have to decide do I put this on a sign over my bathroom mirror or just get the tattoo!
Several years ago - nevermind how long, precisely - when I was still doing such a thing, I wrote a blog post about breakfast pizza prepared on the grill and paired w/Hefeweizen on a beautiful Summer morning, after a particularly wonderful long run
.
The breakfast I ate before the long run.
So that way this meal is just “snack.”

Pleasure before pain? I like the reverse. It’s a reward…
For me bacon cheese tacos or butter croissant/cream cheese/bacon. Both meals with hot sauce!
Rice, eggs, maple syrup for breakfast. And approximately two gallons of coffee.
Swim or long run.
Snack. More coffee.
Swim or long run.
Lunch. Possibly another cup or pot of coffee.

Depends on the day of the week for me. If I do my long run on Friday, which I have to do if I am doing the long ride on Saturday, then I am usually rushed to work and so grab two cliff bars to eat in the car then hit what ever is in my lunch box at about two hours later. Cliff bars are one of my favorite breakfasts. 
After a Saturday long run I have a little more time and so I like to cook. Sometimes i will do waffles with lots of fresh fruit piled on top or syrup. That is a lot of carbs and I figure that is the most important thing after I have done a long run.
Waffles are a favorite in the cool months, but right now it is hot and humid where I live and I find that I crave a lot of salt after the run so I am more likely to fry up some ham or sausage or beacon and some eggs and make myself some egg biscuit sandwiches.
I don’t ways feel excited about anything until I start to dig in. After I start, everything hits the spot and I can’t seem to get enough.
things that have hit the spot for me post long run lately
leftover homemade mac and cheese
leftover pizza
donut
I’d like to make it clear those were three different long runs, not a single meal.
If you’re wanting to be full until lunch, I’d recommend a good protein shake.
Oatmeal with banana, almond butter, maple syrup, granola, and a poached egg on top.
Cold pizza.
Honestly: savory. carbs. protein. quick and easy.
Depends on the day of the week and actually how long the run is.
But generally these days it is a protein smoothie (Lean Fit Whey Protein) plus snippets/bites of whatever protein leftovers there are in the fridge while I make the smoothie.
ive been crushing cliff bars and adding them to my smoothie, cereal and eating them by the box load recently. Though if I was having breakfast I would have 4. I’m probably a bigger guy than you (195 pounds)
fruit, water / milk, about 200-300g of table sugar and a scoop of protein. More water in the smoothie if need more hydration

Way to go! Makes my 1/2 cup of quick oats mixed with two scoops of Equate Plant Based Vanilla Protein Powder and topped with a sprinkle of walnuts and blueberries look pedestrian.
On second thought, my breakfast is pretty dope, satiatiing and balanced.

I am just tall and skinny at 172 lbs. I am on a 4,000 calorie diet. I pretty much graze all day long through. 500 calories for breakfast, 250 calories at 9:30AM, 250 calories and 11 AM. 1500 calories at 12:30 PM…etc.
I’m a big fan of eggs. Easy, cheap, filling, nutritious. I usually do 2-3 eggs and an extra serving or two of whites for extra protein. Eat with hot sauce, and have a slice of toast with peanut butter and banana on the side. Plus, coffee.

Porridge with brown sugar. Big bowl, with lots of milk, takes 3 minutes. It’s portable (can be eaten on the drive to work), filling, simple, effective. I stick it in the microwave, go for a shower, get dressed and when I get back in the kitchen it’s ready to go. I don’t know who has time to faff about with complicated smoothie recipes…
