I don't see how people can run in the morning, especially race, without eating something, but I guess everyone's different. I used to never eat breakfast, but that was before I ran and didn't need as much energy. The amount of food you eat is going to depend on how much mileage you run, but you may want to space out your calories. Like eat something small before your run and maybe you won't eat 1,000 calories in one sitting when you get back. I'm not saying you have to do this, but you could try it if you don't like how you're feeling with the way you currently eat. But everyone has different metabolisms, so do what works for you.
My #1 breakfast requirement is coffee.

Get up, strong black coffee, banana, take kids to school. Run 6 miles to work. Large bowl of granola-like cereal with yogurt and a smoothie at the office. So by 10:00am I feel nicely full and am in overall calorie deficit (600 eaten, 600 burned).

If it's really cold and the bakery near the office smells too good, it all goes horribly wrong.

It's zero. Your thousand calorie breakfast is about my daily total. I carry about 30% body fat. See what old age does to you.

If you're trying to lose weight, you might do better to move some of your daily calories to breakfast so your body has a chance to burn them off during the day.

I'm a believer in a big breakfast, and tapering off the size of meals as the day goes on. I couldn't get down as much as OP for breakfast, but assuming you don't big out the rest of the day, I think the principle is a good one.

I've been pushing a thousand calories for the past couple of days.
This morning, I had 4 bowls of oatmeal, 5 egg whites, and a pound of fat free cottage cheese.
Can't tell whether I should be doing that or not. It's right after my workout, which is 6 miles and then about 500 pushups/500 squats/ab work. I'm 5'10/145 or so.
How about you guys? How big is your bfast?

High carb low fat? Bad idea. You need fats as much as you need carbs, even if you are trying to lose weight.

typical breakfast is

1 english muffin, smeared wtih 2 tablespoons of PB and a fruit smoothy (OJ, bannana, strawberries, yogurt)

usually eat that after my morning work out.

Most workdays, I have 5-6 apples for breakfast. About 500 calories or so, I think.
