Crossword Genius

Part of grain provided for breakfast, perhaps (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

meal

I believe this is a double definition.

'part of grain' is the first definition.
(edible part of grain)

'for breakfast perhaps' is the second definition.
(breakfast is a kind of meal)

'provided' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for meal that I've seen before include "Powdered grain for dinner say" , "Scoff" , "Coarsely ground grain" , "Ground grain or pulses" , "Something to eat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
