Thread: Rise and shine! The Breakfast car is now open. Show us your Breakfast !!

I used to eat 2 breakfast meals a day. Up @ 3 and into the big rig. Donuts and coffee for the first 15 miles. Depending on where I went and the time it took to get there. If I had time to sit down in a restaurant I would get bacon or sausage and eggs with toast. If not,a breakfast burrito or bacon and egg sandwich off the hot truck. 9:00 break would be what ever I didn't have @ 6:30. If I ate like that now I would weight 900 pounds. A lot to be said for hard work.

Alas, 6 years of lethargy, a poor diet when I did eat, and an aging body have seen my doctor threaten me with a lifetime of taking drugs if I don't get my metabolism started first thing in the morning, and reducing my astronomical cholesterol levels! Hence I am now eating breakfast every day for the first time in my life since boarding school where I was forced to eat breakfast.

It's the same thing every morning...





My wife assures me that I would make her Scottish ancestors proud lol.

Well now, let me clarify....I hate mornings. That is to say I hate getting up at the buttcrack of dawn and getting all smiley n stuff. In fact, I think the bluebird of happiness in the morning would taste great deep fried and sittin on top a stack O waffles with butter n syrup...mmm tasty !! Sunrises are pretty cool...but then it's back to the sack fer me. I am a vampire partially after all ha ha. However, when I do arise.....Breeeeakfaaaaast(angels and harps) .

Earcutter, I love oats. Have them every morning. And love trying them from all over the place. But they never come in a tin like that. What I wouldn't give.

Could you mail me a can? (I'll cover costs, of course.)

My daily breakfast is simple . 2 scoops whey protein, half cup rye oats, soy milk a banana a half cup cantaloupe, one raw egg mix it up and drink it down. MMMMM four times a day does a body good !

So is this basically your diet, or do you eat other stuff too?

Former fat boy here - down 70 pounds in the last two years eating low sugar and avoiding simple carbs six days/week. Recent breakfast of scrambled egg, peppers & onions, beans, sausage, guacamole, coffee with cream and a little sugar (my only indulgence, really, sugar in coffee). 500 calories and hard to finish. Beans - it's all about beans.

I had some of this for breakfast this morning. I had a hard time buying it. Oats are around $3.95 a bushel I see. That makes the oats in this can worth about 22 cents at the grain elevator. Buying it this way is about $175.00 a bushel. Heck of a markup!

Tasted good and had a nice texture. Added milk and honey. Took me an hour to cook it and be done eating. Much to long for a normal workday. I am out of bed and drive 25 miles to work in that time on a work morning. While waiting I ate an apple and had a couple of small Buffalo and wild rice Salami on Damper sandwiches. I may not have to eat again until tomorrow.

if you soak your oats the night before, like beans, they will cook a lot quicker. Just add hot water to'em before bed and let sit n soak.

I love an unusual combination ...... rice and oysters. I picked this up in Hawaii and it is rather tasty and filling. Yum Yum.
