I used to eat a fiber-packed granola bar, now I just have coffee with creamer. I don't have an appetite in the morning, so I call it intermittent fasting or something lol

I love this reframing πŸ˜‚

I'm repulsed by food until around noon. But by then I'm so busy and starving that I end up making poor meal choices and I've been gaining weight.

Ideal me would ~~somehow choke down~~ have at least a small, nutritious breakfast. Pack a nutritious lunch for work. Eat it around noon so I'm not starving by dinner time. And then eat a normal-sized dinner (rather than binge-eat anything within reach).

When I do have breakfast it's usually cereal and oat milk. You might do better with meal preping your lunch.

Yes, meal prep has been on my to do list for 20 years πŸ˜‚

I like the idea of oat milk in cereal. A lot more palatable than cows milk, for my taste, anyway

Coffee with cream and a piece of toast. It's simple enough that I can commit to it and regularly achieve it, and I'm usually fine until lunch.

That's a great point. And I love toast with coffee!

When I have some motivation, I’ll strain Greek yogurt overnight and use it like cream cheese on a bagel or piece of toast. It’s to try and get more protein than actual cream cheese (about 8-10g compared to 1.5-2).

But if I don’t get that done it’s usually a piece of buttered toast or a bagel with regular cream cheese.

Oh, I like this idea! I could totally stomach toast and cream cheese. The strained Greek yogurt sounds delicious!

Black coffee and baked eggs with mixed vegetables, done in the pressure cooker. I usually cycle to work and ten miles with nothing but coffee inside me would be bad, so I managed to find something I like, and because I'm in the UK I can leave the eggs out on the counter so when I fall out of bed and into my cycling gear and stumble through to the kitchen for coffee, the eggs are there, the pressure cooker is there, and it's a two minute job to get everything cooking while I make coffee.

The amount of prep and foresight feels like I'm reading about a future civilization compared to my lifestyle. Kudos to you, I'm envious and hope to get there one day ❀️

I like cycling, and my other option, taking public transport, entails having to deal with far too many other people in proximity first thing in the morning, so I found a way that works for me. I get my bag with my work clothes ready the night before, and put my cycling clothes out, so everything is ready when I wake up.

That sounds wonderful in so many ways!!
