What do you eat in the morning? (beehaw.org)

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.

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

Trader Joe's muesli. But maybe I should just make my own - might be cheaper in the long run? Only thing is, my body isn't adjusted to the fiber amount and it sucks being bloated at work.

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
