Miniwheats with coffee just about everyday.
It's funny you mention this...earlier today I watched The Greatest Thing I Ever Ate-Breakfast on the food network. They mentioned Anne Sather's in Chicago...that place does rock.I usually drink coffee first, then go to the gym, then eat yogurt, a banana, and oatmeal. On weekends I mix it up a bit.
When I get to work I drink tea...I've cut way back on diet coke.
Nobody will survive me (including me) without breakfast.If I'm going to the gym I have a handful of almonds or a tiny bowl of cereal, then work out, then have yogurt and fruit.
If I'm not going to the gym, usually cereal - either oatmeal or some combination of Joe's O's, granola, and grape nuts.
Weekends, sometimes hot breakfast, and coffee if I'm really lucky.
Quick quiz: Grape Nuts. Love 'em or hate 'em? I don't think there's an in between. I love them, but I grew up on them. Zu hates them and calls them Yuck Nuts, but she grew up on weird foreign cereals with similarly unappetizing names like Pro-Nutro.

I only like Grape-Nuts with raisins, and I like to let them sit a minute to soak up some of the milk, or they're too crunchy/noisy in my head when I chew. I have tea and oatmeal for breakfast on workdays. On weekends, I'll have something more elaborate, maybe some scrambled eggs with toast and orange juice. Or an english muffin with peanut butter on one half, and butter and jam on the other, and a banana on the side.
I've been meeting a friend for brunch on Sundays a lot, lately, and having things like French toast, or a feta, tomato, and avocado omelet. Yum!
I love Sunday brunches. You can have the avocado omelet, though.Bluebery pancakes! Eggs benedict with crab cakes instead of Canadian bacon!
Coffee!!
i need to have breakfast within 30 minutes or an hour after i wake up or else i get crazy hungry. my usual breakfast contains a book, tea, and two slices of bread with chocolate sprinkles. i don't like breakfast that has to be prepared, i don't have the energy to do that before i've had breakfast.
I cannot read anything but the newspaper first thing in the morning.
i never have cheese for breakfast, that's reserved for lunch and beyond. when i'm feeling decadent i'll have bread with chocolate spread and chocolate sprinkles and hot chocolate with whipped cream and more sprinkles.
I had Nutella on toast a lot in France. Yum!I can't keep that stuff in the house, though, or I eat it with a spoon.
Mmmmm...nutella crepes...good for any time of day.

Sally, the same thing happened to me. I have never been a breakfast eater, but I had to have a chicken bicuit every morning of my pregnancy. Luckily, that craving ended as soon as the baby was born.If I do have breakfast (on the weekends or whatever), brunch fare is what I want!
Mod
I really hope that as soon as the baby is born coffee will start tasting good to me again. I miss it.
Ha! I haven't thought of those crackers in years! No, these were from a lil mom and pop's that's famous for biscuits around here. Kinda pricey, so it's a good thing I was able to quit :) I tried to give up coffee because of the caffeine, but I caved. I gave up tea and Diet Coke and drank water the rest of the day. I still prefer water (yay!)

My midwife tells me to avoid bourbon.

Did you guys hear about that story that women who drink a little are less likely to gain weight than women who don't drink? Let me see if I can find it...

New research found that women who drank the equivalent of one to two drinks a day were least likely to gain weight -- 30 percent less likely, in fact, than teetotalers.
Drink up, ladies!
Yes, but don't drink your dinner. Be healthy, have a drink AND a salad. ;)

I'm a cereal guy. My day doesn't go right if I can't start it with a bowl of cereal while I read the morning paper. By the way, do you know how hard it can be to find cereal that doesn't contain high fructose corn syrup?
Very hard. Hence the grape nuts, which actually pass the five ingredient test too.
Mod
Lots of those "Natural" cereals aren't much better, alas. Fewer preservatives but still loads of sugar. Still, your chances are better.
Peanut butter on brown toast everyday, sometimes Nutella if my husband is having it, and always coffee.
peanutbutter and nutella, good choices!
I only realy have breakfast on weekends and fridays.
Mod
If I were waking up and going on a hike, I would probably eat a breakfast for fuel.
A pot of French Roast and my great pancakes, or biscuits, or corn pone, and fruit. Newspaper, crossword puzzle, breakfast is my favorite meal.
cofffffffffffffffffffeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
COFFEE is a must and yogurt every morning. I am loving Chobani greek yogurt right now. On really cold days, I bring a container of oatmeal with brown sugar, cinnamon, and raisins added to eat before I head outside to my route. It fuels me up.*also, I love breakfast for dinner!
Coffee with creamer or a homemade Chai latte.
I don't understand how you people who don't eat anything for breakfast survive past 9AM.

Mod
If I eat anything but pure protein in the morning my blood sugar crashes and burns within an hour...then I'm left shaking, sweating, and wretching. If I do eat the protein, I'm absolutely worthless, I have no energy to speak til at least noon.Coffee is my friend!

Pre-pregnancy I was lucky if I chocked down a piece of fruit or some toast with my coffee. I never ate before noon. Now I HAVE TO EAT IT OR ELSE. I just do. I eat breakfast a lot, every day, and it has become routine. Do you have a morning routine that involves food? If so, what is it?
Do you eat it? What do you usually have?
I eat oatmeal nearly every day - sometimes with berries, sometimes with nuts and coconut, sometimes with butter and brown sugar. Lately I've been on a Cream of Wheat kick. (Sweeter calls it "nasty" so I only cook enough for me.)
Usually I also make a smoothie out of frozen fruit, yogurt, milk or juice, a bananna or two, and a scoop of protien powder.
Sometimes I have a bagel while the oats cook.
And I always brew a pot of tea - lately I'm liking jasmine green and black.
