You guys should look up intermittent fasting and or the warrior diet. Fact is our bodies are designed to be awake and alert during the day. Eating too much or eating really heavy during the morning for breakfast activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for digestion and rest. Which is why after a big greasy breakfast you can feel tired or sluggish. You will do alot better eating light or just fasting during that period. Just like our ancestors would have been hunting and gathering during the day, eating the bulk of their calories later in the day. There was no food freezing/storage back then, this is how we are wired. Eating lighter will keep your sympathetic nervous system activated, keeping you more alert and feeling more active. You will also be burning more of your fat stores. But problem is when you have a large breakfast, now your body isn't burning the fat already on your body, but now from food sources, hence you get fatter, rather than losing fat.
It's okay for pleasure to have a big breakfast every once in awhile, but I would suggest it's better to eat lighter, or skipping breakfast entirely. I know this is contradictry to the status quo, who believe breakfast is the most important meal. But just have a look into intermittent fasting. People are getting great results from it. You can be eating less and have more energy
