Not at all! However I’m not sure if I’m the best person for that, my breakfast eating habits aren’t the best, I’d say :D
I’ve been raised with eating cake for breakfast, as my mother really likes to bake. Or, if there was no cake, bread (the german kind, I guess that might make a difference from a nutritional point of view) with marmalade. This caused me to also pick up baking and experiment with recipes to make vegan versions of them, which was a lot of fun and is now a new hobby.
Other than that, I usually drink black tea during breakfast, as I don’t drink coffee.
But most important is that you find your own “rhythm”. Eating habits and needs differ a lot between people. A friend of mine gets really hangry if they don’t eat a small snack every few hours in between meals. I can go for half a day without eating, but then also eat way too much afterwards.
Thank you! I know no advice will be universal, but it’s just helpful to hear how other people are doing, and it helps normalise it too. Like eating vegan is something regular people do.
Good advice on finding a rhythm. For instance if I ate cake or pancakes I’d probably crash out hard before noon. But after that I find I’m able to tolerate baking much better.
Probably one of those nutritionally dense breads like Ezekiel would work for me.
One thing that has been going through my mind, but I didn’t mention in my earlier reply: another approach would be to look at what you eat in the morning and trying to get similar macronutrients, i.e. do you usually eat more protein, carbohydrates or fats in the morning. Then you could try to find a mix that fits for you. But seems like you have it figured out :)
I think that’s a good approach and worth trying in the future. I ended up going with just a lot of tofu (like 1/2 a block) and some veg for digestion. I figured that even if it’s not what I’m used to I can at least tell myself that I have definitely got enough nutrition for a breakfast. And that kind of calmed me.
I went down to 1/4 of a block today and that’s probably what I’ll stick with for now. Actually looking it up and that’s basically how much protein I was getting before… maybe I’ll throw in a slice of toast for the carbs…
Good system! I’ll pass it along as the opportunity arises

I get what you mean, but it’s phrased a bit weirdly 🙃
OK day one was really rough not gonna lie, but day two and I think I’m getting into the swing of it.
I ended up g roughly following this tofu scramble recipe.
I’m going to be kicking myself if all it took was pushing through one bad day…
Anyway thank you again for your supportive words, they definitely helped push me through my reticence.
Awesome! That recipe sounds really nice!
