Cereal w a banana cut up in it is good for a fast and filling meal on work days imho. I use whole milk and honey nut cheerios. Strawberry cut up is good too if i have that.

In the winter i will do a trader joes steel cut oatmeal w apple in it

yogurt and fruit (bananas are especially good, apples or oranges all work fine too), along with some granola to go with it.

occasionally i have some trader joes blueberry oatmeal mix thing that i microwave at work if im running late/not hungry. usually I can't eat in the morning so I just toss a bunch of stuff in a frenzy and eat it at work instead.

e: breakfast burritos would be god-tier, but again I'm not really hungry to eat when i wake up and i'm usually running a little late anyways to bother cooking one. if you can though, do it.

my go-to quick breakfast is a multigrain waffle with a tablespoon of peanut butter and some fruit (frozen blueberries or strawberries, maybe banana). fold the waffle in half and you're out the door with a fairly healthy one-handed meal.

Many would respond with Fugu.

Difficult as it may be for Western minds to appreciate why, this is an appropriate response for many good reasons. In the intensely crowded culinary venue of East Asia, constructs like personal privacy and individualism are interpreted rather differently than in the West.

One principal notion which Westerners have a rather difficult time with is the idea that, "less is more". If anything, it is a rather Zen form of perception.

Take, for instance, how—by Western standards—there is such a reduced quantity of meat in most Asian cuisine. Casting aside the issue of whether or not so much protein is necessary or desirable, it makes the relatively intense flavor and luscious texture of meat into an item of regard.

In all honesty, most Americans are familiar with a totally different from many other world food types. As an example, in the Chinese language, siu mai, is a meat dumpling, but also a term of endearment, much in the same way that sio pao (BBQ pork bun), in Filippino means much of the same. Just a simple dumpling or bun—containing almost a week's ration of meat—is a way of expressing sincere affection or praise.

Such a thing is almost alien to Westerners who can purchase a hamburger or buffet meal which will dwarf such minute portions of protein by an order of magnitude. This is what makes a part of Asiatic thought so difficult for Western minds to discern.

Yet, when taken within context, fugu (full disclosure: I have not eaten fugu), is emblematic of this idea. To wit, according to most authoritative sources—blow fish or fugu—has an almost undetectable flavor. While not easy to understand, it is an ability to discern this ultimately delicate and difficult to detect taste that distinguishes this particular dish as one that should be held in high esteem. An ability to do so signifies someone of great sensitivity.

Ergo, less is more. If something is difficult to taste or sense, the more such a flavor (however indiscernible) should be regarded as an indicator of ability to detect. This notion is in keeping with traditional Chinese cooking as well. A correctly built stir fry should have, at most, three or four vegetables. Again, this limits the complexity or overlapping sensations presented to the diner.

Finally, consumers must assume responsibility for being able to appreciate what is set before them. In the language of foreign foods, sashimi, truffles, pâtés, various odd fungi (mushrooms) and other sublimely difficult to discern flavors represent the ultimate challenges to the realm of the senses.

De Gustibus Non Est Disputandum says it all. "In matters of taste, there can be no disputes." The ancient Romans had it right.

Yeah I came here to post this, basically perfect style of food, mostly quick/easy to prepare (though there are certainly some more time intense kinds), simple way to get lots of vegetables in your diet and practically limitless varieties in terms of styles. I cook soup at least once a week. If I was cursed to only make one style of food for the rest of my life it'd certainly be soup.
