Two boiled eggs and a ham and cheese toasted sandwich, plus coffee. Takes me a minute or two to prepare them and then ~10 mins for the eggs to boil, but I can use that time for my morning prep. I noticed as well that my productivity is impacted if I don’t have breakfast.

#12Microwaved coffee and a few stale cigarettes.

#13Nothing until lunch most days. I could eat but I just don't need to really. If I do want something I have one of the following banana, yogurt, oats (with seeds and/or nut butter).
Re: Ask HN: What do you have for breakfast?
#14Usually, scrambled eggs on a slice of toast. I'll sprinkle in some cajun or paprika seasoning and smother it in hot sauce.
If I'm in a rush, or I know I'm having an early/big lunch, I'll just grab an apple or a banana.
In either case, an americano as well.

#15This is my favorite interview question. I like to start them off with a win to break the adversarial atmosphere.

#16It varies between a fruit and yogurt smoothie, homemade pancakes/french toast/waffles with bacon or sausage and some fruit/berries, croissant with jam or nutella, REAL porridge (not that instant oatmeal in a paper packet garbage), toast and two eggs with bacon/sausage, italian breakfast "sandwich" (slice of ciabatta, fried egg, slices of prosciutto, slice of provolone cheese, topped with marinara sauce and broiled until the cheese bubbles). Fresh brewed tea or espresso. If I grab my coffee on the 'commute', I get an orange chocolate latte instead. These are my go-tos. On the weekends or a big Rangers/Scotland match I will do a full Scottish fry up.
It's about 15-20 minutes depending on the meal, but I LOVE breakfast and have two young boys who do too, so I make a point of making good ones.

#173 parts oat bran, 1 part psyllium husk - mix and put through a flour mill. Add some baking powder. Store this mixture and then at breakfast time add 1 egg and milk and fry as a pancake. I eat it with honey and butter. You'll probably want to make sure to have a glass of water with it, as the psyllium is soluable fiber.
Really tasty, and also an enjoyable experience 24 hours later.

#182-3 cups of coffee, a cup of yogurt, and a banana.
I'm a creature of habit, but this has worked for me for almost 15 years now. It all started in college.

#19I've noticed that if I skip breakfast, I intently focus on how hungry I am until lunch time. However, if my breakfast is too "heavy", it makes me feel extremely tired. My go-to these days is whole milk greek yogurt and homemade granola.
