Zig~ that's a lumberjack breakfast!

Is what you are calling porridge oatmeal?
Used to love a huge (salad server size) bowl of it myself. Past few months I haven't been feeling as up for it, but maybe time to try again.

When I worked with handicapped kids I used to have a lesser sized bowl of the oats, but add in yogurt&mixed frozen berries. Really tasty blend too. With a banana and a protein shake on the side :) Got me through the morning...

With COPD though they recommend 6 small meals a day....which s what I have been aiming for lately. Heavy on the protein. Gonna try my "big" oats tomorrow though. Thanks :)

I have the same thing for breakfast every day for almost 5 years now. My daughter always questions how anybody can eat the same thing all the time -so boring.
It's a large bowl of uncooked oatmeal with cinnamon -cold vanilla almond milk -a teaspoon of honey -a banana and some other fruit.
My comma key does not work-therefore I use the dash.

On days that I go to the YMCA, I eat a cheese stick or hard boiled egg with a glass of V-8 juice. That's all I have time to eat on M-W-F. On the other days, I have bacon or sausage with eggs, bran flakes with skim milk and a banana, or oatmeal made with skim milk, dash of salt and cinnamon, and butter. I love pancakes or waffles but don't like whole wheat flour so I don't eat them anymore. Toast, butter, and blackberry preserves with a glass of skim milk when I want something different. Love biscuits and gravy but they aren't on my new diet.
Now, I'm hungry! LOL!

Never thought I could eat the same thing every day but, since I was dx with PEs and then COPD, I found that the same breakfast every day worked for me. I take my meds for various conditions, vitamins and then have toast, topped with egg beaters and a little butter. Coffee with sugar free creamer and a whole banana.

Whatever works for each of our varying bodies?

I'm careful with fresh fruit since it adds to IBS. To each his own.

1 nutri-bullet blend of 3 fruits and 2 caps of hemp seed oil.....my meds......while reading the news on computer....

coffee & my inhalers ;)

For breakfast I have homemade Greek yogurt with blueberries or a peanut butter sandwich with broccoli sprouts on whole grain bread. I call the peanut butter/sprouts sandwich the "Breakfast of Champions."

BTW, a half cup of broccoli sprouts has the antioxidant equivalent of 3 pounds of mature broccoli. Broccoli, especially broccoli sprouts, is good for lung health. I grow sprouts on my kitchen table. It's very easy.

Jarca, you sound like me!! I get up and do my vitals first, to make sure I am still here, then I get my coffee and do my morning meds. Then I get a second up of coffee about an hour later, and have my wheaties, milk, blueberries on top, sweetened with raw honey.

Carnation instant breakfast for me. The ideas here are really good thanks for posting.

Sausage, or ham, or spam and eggs, hash browns, strawberries or pineapple, and a big glass of milk. Sometimes I will substitute sausage, or ham, or spam with steak or pork chops if I have leftovers.

Start with meds and coffee and checking email and news. If it is still early enough I make a sausage, egg and cheese muffin or on a tortilla. I tried adding a hash brown last week but it was too much so my dog finished it. I also make a batch of deviled eggs every now and then and then have them with sausage or bacon and a hash brown. If I get started too late I go to brunch and have a regular meal. Either fish, chicken a tamales or pork and turkey meatballs with steamed veggies and maybe a potato of some type. Also good natural applesauce!

Heike55 - Woah.....uncooked oatmeal?? So just add water and eat? Assuming I got that right I can't say I've ever heard of anyone doing that. Is this just something you came up with or is it maybe a local delight or something I've just not heard of?

LGar - I think I must be very dumb today. Lol.....I spent about five minutes trying to figure out what the M-W-F was. Lol.....when I got to the part "I have no time to eat on M-W-F" I somehow got it fixed in my head that it was a train or a subway you rode to the YMCA in the morning. Argghh.

BoldPrint - Peanut butter and broccoli sprouts in the same sammy? Good grief. Lol.......Please tell me that broccoli sprouts has nothing to do with broccoli and the name is just a coincidence; That these B-sprouts taste a lot like raspberry jam because PB&RJ is yummmm with around 7 exclamation points after it.

Gro100 - While you're eating it do you compulsively sing "spam spam spam spam spam spam, lovely spam." Maybe to obscure a reference but I assure you it's incredibly funny so don't choke if you do sing it.

Curtb - Yeahhh, that's the stuff. That's my treat breakfast makings. Stuff like egg, bacon, sausage, tons of hashbrowns, toast with lots of real butter or the ultimate Saturday morning breakfast of all time for ever and ever Amen......EGGS BENNY. with bacon instead of ham with extra hollandaise sauce. It's so awesome they should change the name to holiday sauce.

What ever strikes my fancy on ant given day. Sometimes I wake up ravenous and go for bacon eggs grits toast and a huge glass of OJ.

Sometimes it is just a cup of tea.

Sometimes it is a fruit smoothie.

Just kind of whatever sounds good.

Oh and sometimes a bowl of ramen or spaghetti.

I tend to eat like a pig when I am hungry and not eat for most of the day when not.

I also like to juice.

Ziggz--I used to eat raw oat meal as a kid sometimes. Not the soft kind the more hearty oatmeal. Forgot all about it until I read my diet guru Dr Mac Dougall. I pour almond milk over it-no water of course. I never liked cooked oatmeal because of it's slimy consistency and I dislike all things slimy -like okra yuk !

Zigzzagz,

Broccoli sprouts are good! They don't taste like mature broccoli. They are similar to alfalfa sprouts (but better) and have a mild pepper taste. They are my favorite sprout. I put broccoli sprouts on salads and, of course, on peanut butter sandwiches. I know it sounds strange, but it's very good. I didn't come up with the idea. I read about it in an article about the super health benefits of broccoli sprouts and tried it. I was hooked my first sandwich.
