I generally have a problem finding foods to eat for breakfast, since I am a freak of nature and dislike the conventional American fare (cereal, eggs, French toast). Usually I'll just end up having leftovers from last night's dinner, but my favorite things for breakfast are:
-Tea/hot chocolate
-Atole
-Miso soup
- Soup/curry
So, what do y'all usually have?
I'm actually rather partial to a couple of slices of Ryvita, or else a yoghurt with some kind of granola.
Chocolates, or anything that can boost my levels. Papaya, mango, pineapple and grapefruit also sounds good, though I may not quite make a habit of it yet, because I would need to consume it first, etc.
I eat a lot of cereal. Often with yoghurt/fruit added.
Special K the boring wholegrain stuff, a banana, two mandarins and tea. On work days I wait half an hour and then have some coffee.
I like the idea of having a big breakfast and smaller meals all through the day but some mornings I wake up feeling crappy and I find it hard to eat anything other then the coffee.
Two pieces of toast and a cup of black coffee. I honestly can't get enough of it.
Have you given savory oats a try? There was an oatmeal thread floating around the cooking subforum for a while.

I had almost forgotten about Ryvita crackers! Yes, I like them a lot.

I am all too familiar with feeling crappy in the morning and not wanting to eat anything. I'm actually not that much of a breakfast person and would just as well skip it, except that I know skipping it makes me me feel lousy later in the day.

I'm interested in the idea of savory oatmeal, but I haven't gotten around to giving it a try. I'll search for that thread.
I just remembered my favorite breakfast in the summertime, when tomatoes are actually edible: flatbread with olive oil and za'atar (it's a blend of mostly dried thyme and sesame seeds), feta cheese, and sliced tomatoes. Maybe some olives as well. And a cup of strong black tea. Oooh, yes.
I recently learned how to make congee (basically, cook rice, and then overcook it with a lot of water). It takes a while to make so it's probably best prepared the night before, but it's a nice alternative to oatmeal.
Right now? A bowl of porridge and 2 cups of coffee.
Oh, and forget whole eggs (maybe whites???) in the morning. They seem to make me groggy and tired. Actually, strike most dairy, due to the gas.
Three to six pieces of bacon and two slices of buttered sourdough, with three cups of tea with milk and sugar.
Alternately, a bowl of mayonnaise with two fried eggs.

Sounds good!
I just remembered a breakfast I occasionally had as a student:
Croissants cut in half and stuffed with a broken up Cadbury creme egg and then microwaved for ~20s.
If it's before 11am, warm milk may be added to coffee. Took so long to appreciate the alchemy bringing forth that roasted barley flavor.
I'm usually out the door before 7, so it's coffee (iced, even in winter - welcome to New England), and maybe a cereal bar. around 10, I'll have a hard boiled egg. Everything else is essentially brunch or lunch, so it doesn't count.
If someone brings a stack of bagels into work, I may have one of those.

Why? It has plenty of fat and protein to fuel me through the morning.
To be fair, isn't that just two fried eggs, an egg yolk or two, lemon juice, and oil?
So, like, a plate of scrambled eggs and butter with some vitamin C. Just in different forms. Completely understandable.
Lately it's been far too much convenience food from a rather awesome gas station chain here in LaX. It's been much pancake& sausage on a stick and/or croissant, egg, sausage, and cheese sandwiches with Sirracha ketchup, jalapeño relish, and mayo, sometimes an omelet on a bagel with similar condiments. Much free coffee from work too. My shift starts around 1130am and I often come in up to an hour early to acclimate myself and drink the unlimited coffee made available.
It's been a good year for breakfast, bad year for my waistline. When I first took the job it was A LOT of hard, fast labor and like 7+ miles (usually much more) of walking around the hospital. Now I drive a truck and do mostly wash&dry processing in the evening in the facility building. This requires a lot of strength and coordination, but the cardio isn't there and it shows.

That is sensible enough. My shock is from never having heard of a person with the gastronomical fortitude to consume a bowl of mayonnaise. It seems very rich. But I suppose it also depends on the size of the bowl.

Just like a small custard bowl.

Imagine a corndog with a delicious breakfast sausage instead of hotdog, but wrapped in pancake batter not cornmeal batter. They're absolutely decadent.
Horrifically bad for me though, for sure. Mmmm... deadly..

The sweet, oily, slightly crunchy crust that contains a moist corn cake engulfing in turn a pink, salty, soft, fatty, bland meat puree product impaled on a stick. It smells like ham and cornbread, but when you put it in your mouth and grind it between your molars the corn cake layer becomes gummy while the meat puree is restored to the native paste-like consistency from whence it came, forming a lima-bean-shaped wad in the mouth of the hopeful eater, defying attempts to swallow.
Also, I hate pancakes.

Between this and the above I now understand. I'm not a fan of corndogs for similar reasons, but I LOVE pancakes and sausage. The fact that I can get them on a stick while heading to work has been an unhealthy but delightful thing for me.

Usually Pop-Tarts and soda for me. Sometimes leftover pizza. Occasionally waffles wih entirely too much butter and brown sugar if I have extra time on my hands
I'm starting to wonder if I'm kind of diabetic.
Breakfast:
wake up late as fuck and get IKEA meatballs as your first meal of the day while shopping for a new trash can.
I forgot to say pills earlier. Lots of pills. Anti-anxiety, anti-depressant, more anti-depressants, mood stabilizer, Vitamin D supplement, Ritalin, Zyrtec, generic No-Doz...

I like to get reeaaal high before going in.
Oh wow, I don't know if I could handle that! It's already like the Disney World of home goods.
Most of the time it's just coffee and maybe a yogurt if I'm lucky, but when I have time & motivation I'll do oatmeal (yes I realize how little effort that actually takes) or sometimes breakfast sandwiches - homemade, since fast food ones tend to fill me and my stomach with sadness.
Oatmeal I'll typically just use a little salt and a little butter (on occasion with added greens) - super exciting I know. I like maple syrup sometimes, but I have to be in the mood for sweet. I will have to dig up that savory oatmeal thread from a while ago. It was certainly intriguing
Tomato sandwiches for me. Toast, mayo, sliced roma (cut thinly enough, there's enough for lunch, too!), mustard if you're feeling fancy.
