I generally put down a three egg (our hens) feta and vegetable omlette, bacon or sausage, a fried tomato (in dripping from one of my cattle) and a concurrently fried leftover potato after an early gym workout or before a bicyle ride... or a day of work on the farm.

Funny, if it turns out to be a surprise, once a fortnight intermitent fast instead, I don't notice. Lunch and tea are generally big meals anyway. Gotta keep my 65 kgs intact.

And that expensive breakfast cereal... I used to eat it for pudding before I wised up to cream, nuts and strawberries... and Scotch.

Thanks for the advice.
I tend to have problems with milk products.. but honestly I'm really not sure I truly have problems with them.. since sometimes even eggs could give me stomach aches. and occasionally milk doesn't do anything to my stomach lol.

Anyway, thanks a lot for the helpful advice, I'll make sure to try and use it XD.

JS: The black rounds are Black Pudding. It is pig blood and fat moulded into thick sausages which are then boiled as part of the process. When you buy them, they're black and firm - cut into slices and crispen up the outsides by frying in a little butter.

Like meat, it can be served more on the rare side with little more than a minute or so on each side in a frying pan, or left for more like 5 minutes for well done.

There are variants of "blood sausage" the world over, but ours in northern England is a known delicacy. I suppose the only pitfall is that oatmeal is used to thicken up and firm up the consistency. I'm happy with these little cheats - they're infrequent and in proportion with my diet, generally. That said, I'm not a confirmed Paleo eater.

@ Paul... Oh God, I love black pudding! I recently found one here in Aus that is just pork blood, jowls and spices, no grains! It's so delicious!

@ Peggy... I think that it's a good lesson not to freak out about your children's eating times/frequency. My daughter is very lean and I used to worry about her not eating anough. Over the years I've realised that she'd a very instinctive eater. She may go a week eating like a bird and then, it's like she can't get enough food and she's always in the fridge munching on HB eggs, pork rinds with liver pate, fruit, greek yoghurt, chicken thighs... and this is as well as normal meals.
I grew up with very unhealthy eating habits and ended up overweight as a result, so I decided to just let her be. Based on her amazing body composition and muscle tone, she obviously knows better than I do!

Glad to see black pudding getting due appreciation here. You have to watch for some added grains in some recipies, but it's health benefits far outweigh.

Here is a picture of my weekly fry-up (featuring a lot of black pudding) which I call 'The Doctor'. Reckon you'll appreciate it (http://naturalmessiah.blogspot.com/2010/04/doctor.html).

Ii need to source some laverbread...

[...] In Part 1 of “The Breakfast Myth”, we discussed why the modern “breakfast” is really just snacks and dessert—and why eating it at all might be evolutionarily discordant. Here in Part 2, we explore the scientific evidence for and against breakfast—and what we should do in response. [...]

I am not generally one for breakfast. I love a good leisurely brunch, though, after a cup or two of black coffee. Eggs, bacon, sausage, cheese...

I learned long before I knew anything about nutrition that cereal or any of that other stuff made from grains and sugar only assured that I would be very hungry shortly after I ate it, and until lunchtime rolled around. I am much better off not eating anything at all.

It makes me wonder why the stereotype for this is Chinese food, when the typical American breakfast of rapidly digested carbs is so much more common. I want to scream every time I hear that Frosted Mini Wheats BS about feeding your kids that junk for breakfast in order to "keep them full and focused." If you care about your kids and think they need breakfast, get up five minutes earlier and make them bacon and eggs.It is absurd to claim you don't have time to do so. They don't really need breakfast, however. Except for the fact that this is another one of those things that "everyone knows," and you may be thought a bad parent for not feeding them dessert first thing in the morning.

It baffles me how some stereotypical phrases get started, like a breakfast of pancakes and syrup being a "stick to your ribs" type of breakfast. Or biscuits and gravy. I remember a few years back when my girlfriend and I went to a local restaurant for breakfast. We both gorged ourselves on biscuits and gravy. Less than an hour later, we were both starving. You want a "stick to your ribs" meal, eat copious quantities of protein and fat. This should be obvious, but I suppose the myth persists for the same reason that others like "cold water boils faster" do; that being that most people believe what they have been told rather than paying attention to what they actually experience.

Anyway, I apologize if I seem to be preaching to the choir, here. Rant over. 🙂

I just discovered your site today (via the Latest in Paleo podcast). Tons of great info here! I really like the very user-friendly tone of the articles. I feel like I could send my non-paleo, non-Crossfitting, etc. friends and/or family members here and they would understand what is going on.

I have been eating "paleo" for a while but never stopped to consider the origins of breakfast. I do love having my eggs & bacon, or leftover meat in the morning, but if for some reason I don't get to eat until later, I no longer feel like I'm going to starve, pass out & die (a big change from my bagel-eating vegetarian past!)
