Daily Question: Tues. April 12 2011

Good Morning, or whatever it may be where you are.

I'm on a health kick these days, and wondering:

What do you have for breakfast????

Oatmeal, or toast and cream cheese and a fruit, or fruit and cottage cheese, those are usually what Ive been going for lately

Normally nothing but if i do its usually just buttered toast

Every morning is different for me but I tend to eat more toast and cheez whiz. Also love everything bagels with herb and garlic cream cheese.

often it's orange juice. sometimes a piece of fruit to go along with it. the other day i put some turmeric powder into orange juice because i read turmeric is good for health. oh goodness, it tasted awful. i had to chase it down with pure oj

Most of the time I have Total cereal and fruit. I don't really like it, but it provided one hundred percent of daily iron. I have problems keeping my iron up where it needs to be.

Oh yuck! Save the loose powder turmeric for cooking. If you want to take some for your GI check local stores, or a health food store if you have one, for capsules of it.

If I'm up fairly early the first thing I grab is a pepsi. Yes, I know. Really healthy. Later I'll have a V8 (recently addicted to those things) and if up for a few hours will have an appetite for actual food and will see what I can dig out of the fridge for the least amount of cooking effort.

Coffee - Timothy's Italian Blend

Around 9:00 or 10:00, I have a Granny Smith apple. That's it for me.

I do love a cooked breakfast when we get up early in the morning to go shopping or something. Then it's a stop at Perkins or Cracker Barrel.

When I was still in school, my breakfast was a 16-ounce high-octane Pepsi. Made my mother spastic.

I usually have either a whole wheat English muffin or frozen waffles you put into the toaster...plus at least one cup of coffee.

Either a South Beach protein bar or an english muffin with fresh fruit. Plus my cup of coffee

I usually buy a bunch of bananas when I go to the grocery store on Saturday. For the first 3-4 days of the work week, I'll eat 1 or 2 bananas for breakfast each morning. Once they're gone, I'll usually eat a couple of those Special K breakfast bars for my breakfast. I take my breakfast with me and eat it at work, so it's got to be something easily portable. On weekends, when I eat breakfast at home, I tend to have something like a sausage biscuit, toaster strudels, or a bowl of grits. In the Summer, I'll probably have a bowl of cereal instead of the grits. Every once in a while, I love to go out to someplace like IHOP and indulge in a really big breakfast (even if it's not breakfast time.) I like to have eggs, bacon, and pancakes when I do that.

Coffee: President's Choice Espresso Roast, fresh ground every morning. Maybe some toast mid-morning, but rarely unless I have to spend the day driving tractor.

Usually coffee with cream, sometimes with a banana.

It changes daily, but I always have coffee. Today I had pancakes and some bacon with a glass of orange juice.

There are only 2 things I eat in the mornings on a regular basis: an "egg McMuffin" (a pre-made microwave egg, cheese, and Canadian bacon English muffin, either Wal-Mart brand or Smart Ones) with mustard or a peanut butter sandwich and a banana. I always have some degree of "morning sickness" (if I ever get pregnant it'll be a disaster!) and those are the only things I can stomach first thing in the morning. I might have a glass of milk if I have it available, but fruit juice doesn't settle well. I don't drink coffee in the morning, only as a pick-me-up in the afternoon.

If I'm at a hotel with a big breakfast, or if I'm up early and go to a restaurant with friends, I go wild! Bacon, eggs, hash browns, oatmeal, pancakes. . .but I've usually been awake for a while at that point so the "morning sickness" has passed.

I have toast and a small bowl of cereal once I get to work most mornings, on days off I tend not to have anything until midday.

I'm actually not much of a breakfast person, but when I do eat it I typically will have yogurt, fruit, and water. ^_^

Fairly often, especially if I go into the office in the morning, we'll grab a Tim Hortons coffee & 12 Grain Bagel toasted with butter & light cream cheese.

If I eat at home it's usually either whole wheat toast or oatmeal & yogurt.

Usually a bananna or a piece of toast, V8 Juice, and coffee.

It varies. Sometimes it is McDonald's oatmeal, sometimes a reduced fat blueberry muffin from Dunkin Donuts, and iced coffee. Sometimes it is cereal or yogurt.
