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.

Lately, steel cut oats with half a banana and 250ml of kefir. I actually hate eating breakfast. I was into Intermittent Fasting for years and did 18/6 almost every day, but then I was diagnosed with diabetes and my doctor told me to stop IF if I wanted my meds to work as they should without causing low blood sugar.
