I’ve never been a breakfast person, and I don’t wake up hungry. I used to go a few hours without eating anything and then have a breakfast of two scrambled eggs, 1/2 cup of brown rice, and a sliced avocado with some salt or soy sauce. That’s a very tasty and healthy breakfast, but I get hungry again within a couple of hours.
Normally I don’t eat much carbs, like bread or pasta or potatoes, and I don’t get my fats from butter or dairy.
This week I started eating a butter sandwich as soon as I wake up in the morning. And when I say “butter sandwich” I’m talking about eight pats of butter between two slices of whole wheat bread.
Why is this so satisfying? I’m not hungry until late in the afternoon, at which point I just wait until dinnertime.
I’d like to lose some weight, and with these butter sandwiches I’m consuming much less food during my day, but they can’t be healthy for me. Clearly I don’t know how nutrition works.
What do you eat in the morning?
I made a habit out of making overnight oats.
I have a base mix of oats and seeds, like hemp, flax millet, sesame… I mix it usually dried fruits, peanut butter, maple or beet sirup, banana, cocoa powder and not to forget a pinch of salt.
Add the twice the volume in milk and well, let it soak overnight. Just grab in the morning and ready to go
Yes, can confirm. overnight oats are good and tasty… also so much easier. I also add chia seeds, turns it into chia pudding almost
This is it. If you want reasonably healthy but filling. You can add nuts, fresh or dried fruits, honey or maple syrup for some extra sweetness. Of course it’s as healthy or unhealthy as you make it.

yeah I think store bought Müsli is much more expensive than the raw ingredients. You can mix to your own liking and unless you get moth’s in it, it will stay good to eat for a while
This! I’ve been having this consistently for months and months and don’t get sick of it. My overnight oats are pretty utilitarian though: oats, chia, vanilla yogurt, water. Some sort of fruit on it in the morning.
interesting, I’m assuming these are ‘regular’ oats?
I only have ‘quick’ oats which would probably turn into a disgusting mush overnight, I think I’ll buy normal oats and try this out
Probably, but mush is the consistency I strive for tbh. I use standard roled oats which come in an either soft or crunchy variety, with the former taking on more liquid
