Breakfast food SUCKS, anyone agree?

A can of tropical fruit salad with a cup of plain nonfat yogurt on the side.

Top it off with Grape Nuts or Granola to balance it out and stick with you. I eat this roughly 3 days a week.

For years, it seemed like I was doomed to feel like crap for the start of the day since all breakfast food seems to be unhealthy crap..

Pancakes, waffles, sausage, eggs, cheese, milk, orange juice... all mixed in one meal.. Bleh. Cereal is insanely sweet along with most breakfast food. And, if it's salty, it's greasy as all hell.

Who says I gotta eat that crap every morning? Anyone else agree that something like a turkey sandwich makes a better breakfast?

You have other options. How about toast and coffee? Oatmeal? Other whole grain cereals? There's nothing wrong with your turkey sandwich, FYI. And dig, in the USA you will be repeatedly and endlessly assaulted by a barrage of unhealthy food choices. Yes, again and again, and if you want to eat healthy and well you will have to continuously look for your best options. Sometimes you will just have to say no and wait or look elsewhere. Yes, I eat some of that stuff but I try to not make a habit of it. I prepare most of the food I eat and I make the important decisions at the store (or actually, before I get there!).

best breakfasts i ever had were at Army Basic Training. they pretty much let us eat as much as we wanted. i'd usually have:

~2 scrambled eggs
2-3 strips of bacon
2-3 sausage
hashbrowns
oatmeal
2 pancakes
a bowl of cereal
glass of apple juice
glass of orange juice
sometimes a biscuit if they had them

military breakfasts > *

Don't forget the "Green Bologna"
 
The sole reason that diners exist is so you can walk in 24/7 and get eggs, toast, processed meat and a bottomless cup of coffee for $2.79 (please adjust for inflation and local pricing). These establishments are in business in every town, village, hamlet, and city in the country.

Therefore breakfast food does not suck.

QED.
 
Breakfast is the best meal of the day, sadly I never have time to eat it. Bacon, eggs, hash browns (my favorite breakfast item by far) and toast. MMMMM, MMMM, MMMMMMMMMMM!!
 
maybe i'm just weird - but i like all the breakfast foods mentioned here for dinner.
i don't eat breakfast - maybe a cup of coffee - thats about it.

Pretty credible site, there.

While I agree that there's nothing wrong with natural fats and red meat, "low-carb" is just as much crap as "low-fat" is when it comes to health. You NEED carbs, and you NEED fat in your diet. Just don't go overboard, and get some exercise.

You just aren't eating the right breakfast food, jesus.

Of course some cereal is too sweet, but cheerios (honey nut too), frosted-mini-wheats...not too sweet IMO.

A bagel with some cream cheese and a bit of real orange juice or coffee...I don't think thats too bad.

Oh, man. Breakfast is the best meal.

Ham and cheese omelette or maybe a nice stack of blueberry pancakes or a waffle, hash browns, bacon, wheat toast, coffee, OJ.

Thats what I am talking about. God damn breakfast kicks ass.
 
Breakfast is the best meal of the day. Period.

I usually end up crammin in a bagel with cream cheese or a bowl of whole grain high fiber cereal though 🙁

I only ever have time for quick breakfasts, which usually suck. But donuts are way, way FTW.

And I lo-o-ove sitting down to a nice breakfast of eggs, hash, pancakes, and toast. Mmmm.

I love breakfast food. It's been ages since I've had a "real" breakfast though, I never have the time (plus I don't want to go too overboard either, I am attempting to lose weight 😛)
