What do you eat in the morning? (beehaw.org)

I've never been a breakfast person, and I don't wake up hungry. I used to go a few hours without eating anything and then have a breakfast of two scrambled eggs, 1/2 cup of brown rice, and a sliced avocado with some salt or soy sauce. That's a very tasty and healthy breakfast, but I get hungry again within a couple of hours.

Normally I don't eat much carbs, like bread or pasta or potatoes, and I don't get my fats from butter or dairy.

This week I started eating a butter sandwich as soon as I wake up in the morning. And when I say "butter sandwich" I'm talking about eight pats of butter between two slices of whole wheat bread.

Why is this so satisfying? I'm not hungry until late in the afternoon, at which point I just wait until dinnertime.

I'd like to lose some weight, and with these butter sandwiches I'm consuming much less food during my day, but they can't be healthy for me. Clearly I don't know how nutrition works.

Clearly I don’t know how nutrition works.

... yeah about that...

Eating the same thing for a week or so is fine, for example when a particular vegetable is in season it's fine to eat a lot of it, but you really should mix it up more than it sounds like you are.

You can kinda get away with it if you eat commercial breakfast cereals, because they are often "fortified" with a whole bunch of neutrients that aren't naturally in whatever they're made of. But they still have too much sugar, so they're not really a great option. If you're lazy though - go for that.

What do I eat for breakfast? Normally whatever is left over from dinner, and it's different every day. If I don't have any (or enough) then I'll eat cereal or toast.

Yeah, I really don't change it much. I pretty much eat the same things all the time, at least when I'm at home.
