Oh man, we typically did not have “sugar cereals” at home – Golden Grahams were as rowdy as it got. The exceptions were usually because we were visiting relatives and they had them. So, to make up for the lack of sugar in the cereal, I’d add my own. I think the nutritional info used to specify creal plus milk and two spoons of sugar. So, I’d use tablespoons, turning plain shredded wheat from something resembling an abrasive scrub pad into a rather tasty treat.
After a while I didn’t bother …

I’ve been eating oatmeal
I like it well enough*, but I feel like I get a sugar crash a little later.
*My method was to add some walnuts and a piece of dark chocolate (or some honey) to the dry oats, pour in some boiling water, cover and then go about my other business (shower, shave, shoo-shoo etc.)
Leftover lasagna also makes for a tasty breakfast, and I’m guessing it’s nutritionally closer to pizza than cereal (e.g. Lucky Charms).
Nowadays I usually have hummus or some breakfast beans in the morning. Occasionally I’ll heat up some soy chorizo, or a microwave quiche. Less often I’ll make some sort of egg dish.
