I don’t always like to eat 'breakfast' foods. I think they’re horribly sweet and it’s not really nice to wake up and go straight for pancakes, waffles, cereal, french toast, and all the other nauseatingly sweet foods! I find I eat many leftovers and lunch and dinner foods for breakfast. Do you think that’s a problem? Do you have any suggestions on nonsweet breakfast foods I can eat? I’ve got a bit of a problem with eggs, too... So I’d prefer no eggs. :( It’s tough!

I don’t go for sweet kinds of food like creal or toast, for breakfast either. I’d usually prefer scrambled eggs and rice (rice is our staple food so eat it every meal). But since you dislike eggs, perhaps you would like to try fish, chicken, pork or other kinds of meat. They’re full of protein, and I’ve heard protein for breakfast could help give you a lot of energy for the rest of the day compared to just carbohydrates.

Hi there! I think if what you eat fills you up its okay. But dinner/ lunch leftovers can a bit much for breakfast. In time you’ll figure out what is best for you when you try new things. I prefer lighter options such as oat meal or cereal for most of the morning. They fill me up and not that "meally".Some days egg is good but I am also not a big fan of eggs. I find it nice to eat banana and milk if I am in a hurry. Try to make different things in each morning and decice what you like.

I don’t think that’s a problem at all. I think that’s an excellent idea. Fruits and vegetables are important and if you can incorporate them into your breakfast even better

I am enjoying savory oatmeal! Instead of sugar or berries, add some Parmesan cheese or other savory yums. Tons of ideas online if you search “savory oatmeal.” I like mine with poached eggs, Parmesan, and some spices. Also: if you eat it for breakfast, then it is breakfast food. Don’t get chopped down by other people’s labels. Do what works for you!

I have a salad, a portion of healthy fats like avocado and a big protein source eggs and milk products with high protein content (like quark, Greek yogurt ).

There’s nothing wrong with eating “non-breakfast foods” for breakfast. Around the world people eat a variety of different foods for breakfast. As long as you’re eating a healthy meal, it doesn’t really matter if it’s traditional or not. Find what works for you and stick with it!

i usualy go for fruits like a banana or orange, sometimes greek yoghurt with honey. gives me the energy needed without beeing a hassle to prepare or too much time spent eating which would take away from my sleep. i’m a night owl and therefore also eat very late.

Try avocado toast with olive oil, sea salt and crushed red pepper. Delicious and savory! You could also try cottage cheese and toast.

You know what? I don’t like sweet things for breakfast either. What I do is to cook up some sausages or chicken breast and have them with salads or grilled veggies. Balsamic dressing is really nice for kickstarting your metabolism. But if you’re in a hurry then toast with ham, cheese, and avocado or just dipped in seasoned olive oil is great too. Just so you know though, there’s nothing wrong eating lunch and dinner food as breakfast as long as they’re freshly made ;)

How about fruit? I make a little fruit basket which is waiting in the fridge. I don’t think there is a problem with what you eat. Its the act of fueling your body after its 'fast'. If its good enough for dinner time why not breakfast??
