eating disorder?

Aloha bar

During the week, usually nothing or a Kind bar. Weekend it can be steel-cut oatmeal with fruit, a smoothie, Kind bar, yogurt with fruit, or nothing.

Eggs, sausage, frozen waffle or pancakes, fruit.

Yogurt with granola, eggs fruit and toast, waffles, occasionally a bagel

Whatever mine wants, usually a smoothie or a bagel. She swims four weeknights and although she has dinner after that, foregoing breakfast isn't a remotely healthy option. I don't push quantities of food or anything specific, but having even some fruit is better than nothing.

Mine is not a morning eater at all. Will sometimes drink a smoothie on the way to school if I make it for her. Will take bagel or toast for breakfast if she has a track meet.

She is a very healthy eater (content and quantity) and consumes a lot of calories overall, but not at breakfast.

Egg and potato casserole that I make on Sunday. It feels fresh through Thursday. Friday is a hodge podge. Smoothies are usually afternoon snacks but if there are leftovers they usually eat those too.

This is all a big improvement over Rice Krispies , which was the previous breakfast. DD says she stays full an entire 90 minutes longer.

About half the time I made whole wheat chocolate chip muffins and she warms that up and eats it out the door.
Sometimes I put berries in the blender the night before and she blends it—there’s no protein as she doesn’t like it creamy but at least it’s something.
She’s now experimenting with the prepared açaí bowls too.
She used to sometimes take a bagel and cream cheese but it takes longer to prep and eat and it’s hard to time the purchase of them so that they are fresh.
I do wish she’d have more protein but it’s so early I can’t really fight her. I’m usually just waking up when she’s out the door.

Sometimes nothing. Sometimes a bar. Usually, a yogurt bowl (Greek yogurt, fruits/berries, granola, chocolate chips, maple syrup). Every once in a while, "baked" oats for one, but that's a rare event since she's just not a morning person.

Egg bites

Often two eggs, sometimes just hard boiled sometimes fried on avocado toast. Some fruit. Some days there's also a bowl of cereal or a spoonful of peanut butter and a banana, which seems like a lot, but they're more hungry in the mornings than at lunch and both have school lunch clubs some days that leave little time for eating.

A yogurt and some sort of bar

Apple with peanut butter and a glass of milk

Bagel and cream cheese, avocado toast, cereal with milk, granola with milk, pancakes if someone makes them in bulk over the weekend, sometimes frozen waffles. We try and maximize the nutrition of the ingredients when possible (ie its shredded wheat cereal with some frosting —Trader Joe’s brand, not lucky charms), higher fiber frozen waffles, etc.

There’s usually fruit and berries round too.
