It completely depends on where you are at!! Depending on how much you weigh, what your workout regime looks like, that will vary how much you should be eating.

It depends on what you eat. If you are eating something lite maybe you should eat just a bit more to last till lunch. You should feel that you had breakfast but it is not to much. Eating to much at one sitting later takes more energy to digestive and you need that energy for other stuff. So eat it is good for you. Food I mean. Just remember that you need to know your limits on food intake.

Personally, I prefer something a little more filling that will tie me over until lunch. If I don’t eat in the morning I become very hungry and will lose all direction and devour anything in sight. You should also make sure that your breakfast is not too greasy because it could upset an empty stomach.

As much as you feel suits your body I like a large breakfast as it keeps me full until later into the day and means I don’t need to snack

I think that when you want to eat from a bowl, the bowl should at least be half full for a good portion or cereal, porridge or yoghurt with fruit, whatever you usually like to eat from a bowl. I usually accompany it with either a cup of tea or glass of fruit juice. Better if it is a freshly squeezed fruit juice or centrifuged fruit and veg mix. In the case of a fruit & veg drink which is loaded with vitimins and minerals, I’d accompany it with a couple of dried crisp bread slices with a topping such as banana and honey. For me these are portions which are sufficient and will give you energy at least until midday.

My aim is to avoid feeling hungry too soon and also to avoid any feeling of heaviness from eating too much. I’ve found that a couple of slices of a local bakery’s "Seeded Sourdough loaf" with boiled eggs as my main course works well for me. I try to start with some organic porridge oats which I simply cook in a little water. Occasionally I eat a whole orange or grapefruit, including some of the pith. You might have guessed that there is no milk or butter in any of this but that’s only for allergy reasons. Anyway, it works well for me, but the choice of bread really makes a difference - all loaves are not created equal. Bon Appetit!

Its up to you actually. After drinking my water I take a shot of bitters(think this is my new winter habit) I wait a gud 20 mins before a high protien breakfast. Then I eat enough to fill my stomach.

To me the more the better. I usually do not eat too much calories at lunch because I work in a restaurant so that I only have a pasta dish. For breakfast I need 300/400 calories to cope with hunger later in the morning. Eggs, Greek yogurt, home made veg cakes, salmon and bread, soft cheese, fresh squeezed juice, porridge, fruit. This is a selection among my favorites.

I don’t know actually, some trial and error I think ;) I just started with intermittent fasting, so I only eat after 11 or 12 o’clock.

Enough to feel filled. I don’t think it is good to eat when Im not hungry, and usually that is the case in the mornings. If I know I can stay at home longer I know I can eat when I want and then it takes about 2-3 hours after I woke up before I want to eat.
