So, what did ya'll eat for breakfast this morning?

[rumination]

I'm always looking for good easy breakfast options. I tend to eat the same thing every day until I'm totally sick of it and then switch to something else.

Right now breakfast is usually a bowl of oatmeal with a big dollop of crunchy peanut butter mixed in, a banana, and if I'm still hungry some more fruit or a fried/scrambled egg or two. Sometimes coffee or tea is involved, as well.


So what is everybody else snacking on this morning? :)

[vharrison]

Rumi, MB loves the oatmeal and peanut butter! I personally don't eat breakfast very often. When I do, it is usually cantaloupe or watermelon. Once in a great, great while, the whole eggs, bacon, and toast, always eaten out.

[MasterBlaster]

Yep, the doc told me I was gonna die if I didn't stop the bad(GOOD) food.

[JamesTX]

My back's been hurting so I had a Vicodin for breakfast - man, that was different.

My kids have eggs, bacon, and toast every morning - prepared with love by Dad.

[Che]

Bagel and (lite) cream cheese....same thing I've had 99% of every morning for the past decade or two. Leon, that sounds like a pretty healthy breakfast....protein, fiber, 'good' fat.

[inztrees]

coffee 2 mugs pop trets mint chocolate ummm

[top hopper]

I usually do the caffeine and nicotine breakfast.

Im rarely hungry before 11 am.

[MasterBlaster]

My kids have eggs, bacon, and toast every morning

Butter on the toast, too - right? And whole milk? Man, that's a breakfast straight outta the 50's. I would never give that to my loved ones every day.

Once or twice a month, at the most.

Kids can eat that everyday as long as they get exercise (and mine do). There's no way that my wife and I could eat that all the time, though.

[MasterBlaster]

Nope, you're wrong. And at the very least you're encouraging terrible eating habits.

[Werks 4 da Man]

I disagree. The children see what James and his wife do and that is what's important.

Children are watching at all times.

Fred

[sotc]

usually just coffee. some times ill crack 2 eggs in a ziplock with onions and cheese and zap in the microwave for 2 minutes!

[JamesTX]

Kids can handle a lot more fat than adults can. Remember they are putting on weight and growing taller at an amazing rate. The key is exercise. We are more apt to limit sugar than we are fat.

[MasterBlaster]

And at what age do they magically change to eating healthy whole grains, fruits, cerals and oatmeals?

I bet $100 I'm right and you're wrong.

Where's Newfies wife?

[Paul B]

I dont eat breakfast much these days, if I do its an egg, couple slices whole grain toast with a little butter and the odd time a slice or two (literally, not a plate full) of bacon cooked till its crunchy.

[MasterBlaster]

Kids can handle a lot more fat...


And THAT'S BS! Have you seen the stats on overweight and obese children lately?

BABIES need a high fat diet, hence colostrum. Milk is for babies!

[squisher]

My wife would disagree with you James, healthy is healthy no matter what the age, and fatty food goes to work on the arteries young and old they're not picky. I ain't trying to start nothing just saying is all, we are having a hard time getting our daughter to eat healthy as she's just like me very picky.

Dinner tonight was chicken, brown rice, and salad yum yum :( . Do I really want to live forever?

Breakfast is oatmeal and a banana or some other kind of fruit and an egg either poached or scrambled. Often we just opt for egg whites. Sometimes I opt right out and fall back into my old pattern of drinking coffee all morning and skipping breakfast and feeling like crap by about lunch.

Pancakes on the weekend though!:D

[JamesTX]

And at what age do they magically change to eating healthy whole grains, fruits, cerals and oatmeals?


How many pre-adolescent kids have you heard of having heart attacks or strokes or any of the other fatty diet related diseases? In any case, I didn't give you their entire daily diet - just breakfast.

[squisher]

Children are watching at all times.

Fred

Dang that's kinda creepy :/: !









:lol:

[JamesTX]

I see very few obese or overweight children at the school where my kids go - but I am talking about the under 12 age group.

[MasterBlaster]

In any case, I didn't give you their entire daily diet - just breakfast.

OK, let's hear an average lunch and supper. I hope it's WAY different than their most important meal of the day.

[JamesTX]

My wife would disagree with you James, healthy is healthy no matter what the age....

Really? No difference given for age, activity level, sex, health history, etc? Same definition of healthy across the board? I can't agree with that.

[JamesTX]

OK, let's hear lunch and supper. I hope it's WAY different than their most important meal of the day.

Dinner was brisket, beets, mixed veggies (brocolli, cauliflower, carrots), rice, and mashed potatoes. They ate it all.

Lunch is usually some sort of sandwich, a bad of fruits or veggies, cheese.

[MasterBlaster]

Your still wrong.

Other than (and I assume the bread is whole wheat) the cheese, that is GREAT! It appears breakfast is the problem. ;)

[JamesTX]

Dr. Masterblaster?

[Werks 4 da Man]

Your still wrong.

Aren't we all.;) :D :P

Fred

[JamesTX]

Aren't we all.;) :D :P

Fred

Ha. Except for me - I'm right.

[Skwerl]

How many kids have you raised, Butch? You seem to be coming down awfully hard on James for something that started out as a casual conversation.

3 cups of coffee here. And when I was 10-12, I ate a big breakfast of eggs, bacon, cheesy home fries, toast and a big glass of whole milk every day. ;)

[MasterBlaster]

Dr. Masterblaster?

Haha, funny you say that. I was premed in college until organic (and a crazy X) chemistry kicked my ass.

[JamesTX]

Other than the cheese, that is GREAT!

I'm assuming you wouldn't approve of the cheese omelettes I occasionally prepare?

[MasterBlaster]

How many kids have you raised, Butch? You seem to be coming down awfully hard on James for something that started out as a casual conversation.


Ha, I don't mean to - I'm trying to use smileys to convey my "just busting your balls" attitude. James posts that he feeds his kids death food then says he does it with "love."

It just struck a nerve... :|:

If more than one (or two!:\: ) yolks are involved, then yes.

My granddad was a farmer - worked everyday of his life and ate a diet that should killed him instantly - fried steak, eggs (huge plates of em), real bacon, whole milk fresh from the cow, etc. He lived into his 80's and was active until the end.

I still think exercise has a lot to do with it.

[squisher]

I don't know the exacto's of it, but I'll run it by my wife when she gets back from the gym. I know my argument of aww c'mon she's only three she can have that never flies with my wife. And whenever we do luck out and get to have fries made at home ya know the cholesterol/bad fat free kind, my wife always apologies to our arteries while serving them.

Now I'm not saying that you're doing anything wrong Jame's just saying that certainly bad food, is bad no matter what the age. The effects may not be apparent nearly as immediately as in us adults, but you are what you eat.

Diet should be based on knowledge though not marketing or just taste buds. It's like most things you need to focus on your goal and set realistic plans in place to get/maintain whatever it is. It's a 100% personal choice and really we can only make the call for ourselves.

[JamesTX]

...death food...

That may be a little extreme.....



If more than one (or two!:\: ) yolks are involved, then yes.

2 yolks? The boy is only 6 - he can only eat one egg at a time.

[MasterBlaster]

just saying that certainly bad food, is bad no matter what the age.


Thank you. :drink:


That may be a little extreme.....

Gawddam brother, that's exactly what it is.

And I've never seen a one egg omelette!

[Werks 4 da Man]

My wife has a B.S. in food science and my brother is a surgeon, both agree that there is more good cholesterol in eggs than bad and that cheese should be part of a healthy diet.

Main thing is everything in moderation. I doubt James feeds his kids bacon every morning, but I bet he won't admit it now.

I won't even admit I have kids. Someone may send CPS down for a visit.

[MasterBlaster]

Ha!

[squisher]

The whites are the good stuff and the yolks are the bad :( , that's why the yolk tastes so good. See I've figured it out, Squisher's guide to healthy eating. If it taste's good unfortunately you really shouldn't be eating it.

And damn I want some bacon in the worst way now.

[MasterBlaster]

:what:

Pay some tension, now...

[squisher]

Jame's and Fred you guy's crack me up :lol: .

Fred hit 'er on the head I think, moderation is key. :thumbup:

[MasterBlaster]

Someone may send CPS down for a visit.

Actually, I think overweight/obese children ARE a form of child abuse. :drink:

It's the parent's fault!

[squisher]

For sure it is, as parent's we are charged with protecting children and teaching and guiding them until they can do so themselves.

[JamesTX]

I'm just glad I could do my part to stretch this thread to 5 frikken pages!

[rumination]

Hey thanks! First thread I've started in ages and it's taken off like wild fire.


Let's hear some more breakfasts...

[squisher]

Lol, who else want's to jump in and get all fired up over nothing :blob6:

yeeeeeeeehhhhhaaaaaaaawwwwwww!!!!!!!!

[MasterBlaster]

Hahahahaha!

[stehansen]

Scrambled eggs, bagel with butter, coffee, orange juice.:\: V the other day (Sunday) we had linguisa cooked on the grill, eggs, toast, and coffee/orange juice. Incredible, but I was drinking water the rest of the day to get all the salt out of my system. Those kind of breakfasts are good, you just can't have them everyday. Anybody make biscuits and gravy here?

[Werks 4 da Man]

Okay I admit it. I'm calling James a liar. ROFL

I don't take people so literally. Just not in my nature.

I'm outta this one though. The problem with our kids is real, but I don't think James is hurting his kids. That's all.

Fred

[Skwerl]

You eat BAGELS???!!! That shit'll kill you!!! :O

[Stumper]

I had oatmeal-as I do most mornings.
James, I am mostly on your side.-Butch has a point about training ourselves for high fat(and for many of us -high sugar) diets when we are kids but I don't buy the "eggs are bad" thing for a minute-the AMA has changed their collective mind(?) 15 times about eggs. Genetics, exercise and attitude toward life will trump diet. My Grandfathers ate" badly" and both lived to 87.

[MasterBlaster]

Scrambled eggs, bagel with butter, coffee, orange juice.


I usually don't calculate beverages into my breakfast. I'm all about the EATING! :D

[Werks 4 da Man]

Okay I'm back in. I ate 1 pancake and a protein shake. Tastes like ass and don't ask. ;)

Fred

[MasterBlaster]

The problem with our kids is real

And brother, it ain't just the young uns. :(

It's back to what I said earlier - that 50's or 60's mentality about what's the norm - it's just wrong!

[Stumper]

And damn I want some bacon in the worst way now.

Justin the worst way is boiled in vinegar with anchovy dressing.

[JamesTX]

This is how I'm going to cook my next batch of bacon - http://www.virtualweberbullet.com/bacon1.html. You're all invited to my funeral - I'll be the dead one with the big smile on my face.

[squisher]

That don't sound so bad as lont as there is bacon in it. :D

Oh man a nice crispy bacon sandwich with some extra bacon on it mmmmm:|:

[MasterBlaster]

And I'll be eating this! (http://gypoclimber.com/showthread.php?t=8297)

[Paul B]

call me kooky but looking at this pic makes my mouth water something fierce!

This morning I had half a bagel with light cream cheese and a banana. lunch was half a steak, mashed taters and a can of V8.

[sotc]

coffee and cookies

[Stumper]

Oatmeal.

[Paul B]

with?
like gruel type oatmeal or the quaker sugar laden stuff?

I had the boil in a pot till it looks like paste oatmeal a couple times, no thank you very much. I mean come on chuck a couple raisins or something in there to jazz it upa bit, plain just doesnt do it for me.

[MasterBlaster]

I hate choking that crap down. It's only good when you make it bad for you.

[Stumper]

I do instant oatmeal. The plain is awfully blah and the sweetened and flavored is overloaded with sugar so my highly scientific method is to simply dump one flavored packet and one plain into my bowl and add boiling water. Flavorful and sweet without being too sweet. 250 calorie breakfast.

[MasterBlaster]

250 calories won't carry me til noon.

[Stumper]

Yeah, it peters out between 10:30 and 11 am. I'm an overgrown Hobbit. First breakfast, second breakfast and elevensies.

[Paul B]

hahaha, nice retort!

[Tree Guy's Wife]

Made scrambled eggs loaded with cheese this morning served over toast. Roman got barley cereal with apples & blueberries, handful of cheerios and his favorite - boob.

[Paul B]

boob......:D
babies get all the fun.

[lumberjack]

I'm confused, which boob is the favorite?

I had sausage balls for breakfast, although normally we have biscuits and sausage (with gravy), or bacon. Sometimes we'll also have eggs or omelets.

[Paul B]

I like the left and the right myself but I dont wanna be a picky sort of fella.

[MasterBlaster]

I just calculated: 8 eggbeaters @ 200C, 4 pieces of 2% cheese @ 200C, one cup of Pam fried hash browns @ 150C, and four slices of dry whole wheat toast @ 200C for a total of 750 calories with a mere 14 grams of fat.

Tasty! http://www.thecomputermechanics.com/forums/images/smilies/168.gif

And that will carry me til supper.

[No_Bivy]

omlete(2eggs)+cheese+ avacado+ 2 stadium brats(+habenero) = full:D

[JamesTX]

Y'all know what I had - death food!

[Stumper]

And James stands an excellent chance of dying HAPPY.

[MasterBlaster]

Or, at least dying.

[lumberjack]

MB, I believe your odds are on par with everyone elses.

[stehansen]

I just had coffee this morning.

[Stumper]

Steve that is unhealthy. At least have a square of chocolate with your coffee.

[stehansen]

I don't know why I didn't grab a brownie. I woke up late.

[Blinky]

Two banana sandwiches with peanut butter and mayo with a cup of coffee... but dang, now I want a couple of brats with habanero!

[sotc]

coffee so far

[JamesTX]

French toast (for the kids). Coffee for me.

[MasterBlaster]

Coffee is a beverage, not a breakfast.

Special K with skim milk here.

[sotc]

been breakfast for me many times, though i think some cold pizza sounds good

[JamesTX]

Coffee is a beverage, not a breakfast.

I added cream and sugar. There's got to be calories in those.

[squisher]

Coffee for me too!

[Stumper]

Kashi Multigrain hot cereal.......and 3 cordial cherries.

[Mr. Sir]

A whey protein shake with milk and a banana.

[The Branch Doctor]

Coffee is a beverage, not a breakfast.

Special K with skim milk here.

And you call skim milk, milk? Yuck!

I had some Italian elk sausage.... and yes, it was yummy.;)

[Paul B]

few slices of a garlic ring, piece of wholegrain toast, egg over easy and a big glass of V8.

I am living large!!
hahaha

[MasterBlaster]

One egg? LOL!

Breakfast ain't breakfast without a pork product ;)

[TreeDr]

having my 10th Bud Light for dinner

Is there any alcohol at all left in light beer down there?:P

[MasterBlaster]

Damn, you'd better start saving up for a new liver!

[stehansen]

I had a brownie for breakfast this morning. And no not one of those kind of brownies MB.

[Paul B]

I had a protein shake. burger fries for lunch. dinner was broccoli and cheese soupl with a bit of spinach dip and big crackers. :)
Sorry MB, hope you get to eat again soon! :(

[MasterBlaster]

The procedure isn't until 2 PM!!!

[Paul B]

damn, that is a lot of lead time to not eat anything. I figured 24 hours was a long time, they made you go a lot past that by the sounds of it Boss... Do you have a big meal in mind for after?

[Frans]

Let us know how your meeting with the 'black snake' goes MB.

Gonna eat some toast and a sunny side up egg then go and winch a tree up a hill in the rain today.

[MasterBlaster]

Sweet! They just called and moved the appointment up to 10 am!

And I'm HONGRY!!!

[vharrison]

That is great news MB! You will be feasting before you know it!

[JamesTX]

So, my wife brought this home the other day. She thought she'd save me some time in the mornings. Taste isn't bad but seriously, do we really need pancake batter in a can? At least it's organic batter being propelled by the CFC's.

[MasterBlaster]

It seems like a good idea to me! :rockon:

I hope Leon is doing fine. :(

[JamesTX]

Hasn't posted since May? Where'd he go off to?

[MasterBlaster]

I thought he said something about being w/o the internet for a while, but I can't seem to find the post.

[Paul B]

soemthing about a commune type deal. Hippie.

:D

[MasterBlaster]

I wonder where that post is? It should be in his last ones.

[woodworkingboy]

I think he said something about being in the bay area?

[vharrison]

I am having a bowl of fruit for breakfast.

Do they eat sausages in Louisiana? I'm not talking about the little things.

[MasterBlaster]

All I knew about sausages were these little Jimmy Dean packages that my mother used to buy. Her religion wasn't very partial to pork. When I was about seventeen, I saw my first real sausages :O

[CurSedVoyce]

Coffee, um coffee... and um .. more coffee....
