On the weekend, do you have a special breakfast or is there a certain thing that you like to eat whether it's a work day or a weekend?

Asked by jca (36062points) May 28th, 2016

For me, it’s vanilla Greek yogurt and I add chopped walnuts and real berries (either raspberries, blackberries or blueberries) no matter whether it’s the weekend or weekday. If I don’t eat it for some reason, I miss it. Every day it’s coffee, no matter what.

How about you? Do you do a big or “special” breakfast if you’re off, or are you pretty consistent with what you eat no matter what day it is?

I do not eat breakfast.

I’m in the same boat as @ragingloli. For me, breakfast is 95% of the time skipped!

I just made banana and cinnamon pancakes and blueberry pancakes with turkey sausage and over easy eggs with bing cherries and fresh bluberries on the side. Yum

I take out the good coffee because I have time to enjoy it.

I don’t really have a special breakfast, but my family has special lunch. Special lunch is something that we don’t usually eat during the weekday because we don’t have time to prepare like wonton soup or pizza. The special lunch is usually very big and is enjoyed by everyone. This is also the time when my mom shows off her creativity too.

Sausage McMuffin with egg. I love ‘em regardless which day it is.

I eat the same thing each morning: a bowl of Cheerio’s Protein cereal with blueberries and strawberries. I put a teaspoon of diamotaceous earth and one of chia seeds in there too. Then I have a big glass of caffeine free iced tea. And, no; I don’t think the Cheerio’s has real protein in it or not enough to make any difference.

I too don;t eat breakfast until 10 or 11 am most days. I need multiple cups of coffee to launch first. It is 11:06 here in CA. right now and I just had a half of a cinnamon raisin bagel, a banana and a Naked strawberry protein smoothie. I’m good to go for hours now, and going I am, off and running on a bunch of errands that I am too tired to do but must soldier on. lol

I eat pretty much the same thing: scrambled eggs, or an omelet, with some breakfast meat, and a whole wheat low carb tortilla.

The only difference between the work week and the weekend is that I eat during the week at about 6:30 in the morning, when I get to work, but on the weekends I eat after I have gotten in a good run of at least three miles, and sometimes five or six miles.

I’m good with coffee. If I eat anything in the morning it’s usually bread – a bagel with cream cheese, or an English muffin with butter and maybe a poached egg.

During the week I have weetabix but at the weekend I like bacon

I don’t eat breakfast during the week when I have to work. I have to get up too early and I don’t get hungry until around 10:00 a.m.

On the weekends, I usually have a piece of whole wheat toast with butter, and lately, with the addition of homemade plum jam made by a friend, with a cup of coffee and maybe some walnuts and a prune. Every now and then I’ll add a piece of fake bacon or fake sausage.

If I am on vacation, or just going out for breakfast, my favorite thing is huevos rancheros; or a breakfast burrito with eggs, potatoes and cheese; or pancakes and eggs, with a glass fresh grapefruit juice.

There’s a buffet I go to that’s only on the weekends. I haven’t been in a while, though. Thanks for reminding me.

@Kardamom: I don’t eat breakfast until around 11 or so, week day or weekend. I have coffee at home and then take the yogurt to work. I have more coffee and then the yogurt a few hours later, after I put it in the freezer for a while and get settled in. People are usually talking about lunch while I’m trying to eat the yogurt. On weekend, I get up and have coffee early, anywhere from 6 to 8 and then eat the yogurt a few hours later.

I used to. Sunday mornings were reserved for a big breakfast that started around 0830 and often turned into brunch in the garden under the mango tree. My wife and I were both amateur cooks and we enjoyed preparing Sunday breakfasts together, then just lingering in the garden reading the papers.

Steak and eggs, followed by a stack of pancakes smothered in butter and maple syrup. A big glass of cold milk, a big glass of ice-cold orange juice and endless coffee. It was my break from a week of starting my days with one type of porridge or another. Afterwards, I would linger and read the local Sunday paper and then start on the New York Times Sunday Edition and Sweden’s national Dagens Nyheter Sunday edition from the previous week, if we could get it. Then, after sufficient coffee I would wash the ink off my hands and take an afternoon ride on the bike trail until dinner. That was my breakfast.

Nowadays, I wake up around 0500, have coffee, feed the animals, milk the goats, collect the eggs, check the water. Then wash up, have some porridge or eggs and lamb with a big glass of cold goat milk, or fishhead soup with hot bread and butter, some mango or papaya juice, more coffee, pack my lunch and I’m off on my second set of rounds for the day. I often spend Sunday afternoons cooking in order that I can have these complete meals and combinations thereof throughout the week. I’m a big eater, but I also expend a lot of physical energy. It’s a good life.
