I've been getting up earlier and earlier. Don't eat till 6 am, and often that means no food for 1-2 hours. Make coffee first - had a whole pot before 6 today, then a banana unless I somehow run out of them or they are so unripe as to be unpeelable.
Then it can be anything from oatmeal to broiled potato slices to a stir fry to Dave' Thin-sliced good seed bread/toast slices to blueberries to nuts. Often a stir fry, as I'm making sure the mushrooms and things aren't going to go bad.

I rarely eat breakfast, i eat an early lunch instead. Lunch can be pretty much anything, from leftovers to just some sour milk.

I do not eat breakfast anymore unless it's on the weekend and we go out for a late breakfast.
I start with lunch at work (I always go out for lunch) around 1pm.
Then I eat dinner with my wife around 8pm.
Then I eat chips and cookies at 11pm.
But when I do eat breakfast, it's either a sausage mcmfuffin, a 3-meat skillet at a diner, biscuits and gravy or banana pancakes. Oh, and always bacon.

I tend to get up when it begins to get light. This time of year, it's between 6:30 and 7:00. While my tea water heats, I contemplate the possibilities.
On a good day, there are leftover rice or potatoes. Otherwise, I'll have sourdough toast with peanut butter, oatmeal (no sugar), or an egg with toast. (Milk with toast/oatmeal. Juice with egg.)
As the daylight extends into earlier hours, I don't want anything when I first get up. By May/June, it's not unusual for me to do a full supermarket-shop, vacuum and do a load of wash, before I even start the tea water.

When I get up depends on what I have to do that day. It could be anywhere from 5am-9am.
I also don't like to eat as soon as I wake up. I'll read the news and take a shower to pass a little time. When I was young I would often go with little or no breakfast, but now I feel like I need the fuel.
Breakfast is usually 2 soft-boiled eggs with 2 slices of cheese and either grits or oatmeal. Maybe a slice of ham. Also a half of a banana and a few strawberries. On Saturdays I allow the luxury of four strips of crispy bacon. I always only drink water.
I have a high metabolism so this fuel only lasts a few hours before I'm ready for lunch. To look at me you wouldn't think I eat much.

My most common breakfast is a bagel. I like garlic bagels the most. And fortunately they're easy to get here in NYC.
My second most common breakfast is cereal.
On the road, it can vary a lot. It just depends what's available, what's on the schedule, what other people I'm with are doing for breakfast, etc.
When I'm home, I also have a smoothie every morning. That's a berry mixture, 0% fat Greek yogurt, plant-based protein powder, with a bit of 100% cranberry juice and water mixed in, too.
Away from home, I don't have smoothies very often because when you get them from restaurants they often have sugar mixed in, it's not 100% juice etc. So I'll typically just drink orange juice instead (from a bottle, so I know it's pure orange juice).
I also drink green tea every morning. When I'm traveling, I take a small electric kettle with me--just to warm up water, and I pack enough green tea and Rooibos, which I also drink every day, to last the trip. I do that because sometimes you can't find one or the other--especially Rooibos, and I like Twinings or Trader Joe's the most (though Bigelow is okay--and I do like their Constant Comment Green a lot), so I'd rather just take it with me to make sure I have it. I also pack instant coffee, but I only use that if decent coffee is otherwise not easily available and/or I want coffee in my hotel room.
Bananas I like, by the way, but I can't eat them. I'm allergic to them, or at least I'm allergic to something that is or can be in them in varying quantities--which I say because sometimes I don't have an allergic reaction to them, and when I do, it's not always the same intensity. It doesn't get me horribly sick to eat them, but I get a bit of a "lump in my throat," a "scratchy tongue" and it can upset my stomach/digestive tract a bit, too, so I avoid them. There are a few other things I'm similarly allergic to, including celery, and I have a lactose intolerance that seems to come and go (so that when I'm on the road, I've got to be careful to not drink dairy milk or cream, but I drink them at home sometimes and sometimes they don't go right through me . . . no idea why my body would be inconsistent about that, but it is).
