I almost always eat breakfast, usually egg, but sometimes other things. If I skip a meal it will be in the evening, so I don't have to go to bed with a full stomach. Love breakfast.

Yes, I like breakfast, too! Just curious about those who don't eat *something*. Too rushed? Not awake enough? Sick tummy in the morning?

Our DS has battled weight gain since adolescence. Half his battle is won if he will just eat *breakfast*.

I didn't use to eat breakfast until I had kids. I didn't eat until lunch because I used it as a way of controlling my weight.

I knew the importance of eating it but just didn't think it would work for me. When I had kids, because I knew the importance of eating it, I started to eat it to set a good example for them. Turns out, I feel better and eat a more sensible lunch when I eat breakfast. I don't eat that much usually just a small bowl of cereal with milk. My kids always eat breakfast.

I never ate breakfast when I worked because I can't stomach the idea of food for a couple of hours after I get up, so there wasn't time. I would eat a snack around 10 AM (usually junk food and a coke, eeek) and then have a decent lunch. Now that I don't work, I get up, drink black coffee for a while and then eventually make myself something for breakfast, around 9 or 10, then a lunch around 1 or 2. I either have eggs or cereal or yogurt with blueberries.

I always eat something~~I like to have an egg and a banana, or 2-3 fresh fruits. When we travel I try to find hotels that have some type of breakfast for DH to have, while I stay in the room and read, I will have a Cliff bar and have some tea. I can not eat a big ole breakfast in the mornings, makes me feel ill. If I want a breakfast type meal I will eat it for lunch or dinner.

Because breakfast foods that are fast are awful for you. Sugary, carb filled, etc. Very sugary. Ick. And I don't want to eat until at least three or four hours after I get up. I usually just eat lunch at 11am. Small snack in there somewhere. Not necessarily bad or good. Like a cup of yogurt. But with the sugary stuff in it, not with calorie free sweetner, or plain with fruit. Which would be pretty good for me. I might have a handful of almonds and that's ok, but maybe on the salty side.

My son, on the other hand doesn't eat lunch. He eats breakfast. Fruit, milk, and yogurt. If he's still hungry, typically yes!, a carb of some sort. Not too sugary, but decent enough.

I posted that I don't eat breakfast. I know what has always been touted by doctors, nutritionists, etc, but for some like me, it makes me feel sluggish both mentally and physically. Doesn't matter what I eat, healthy to junk, I still feel the same. I drink plain black or green tea when I get up. I do not feel hungry until 1pm. It works for me and I am very healthy :)

We eat a rather late dinner, so I am not hungry when I get up. I will have coffee or tea, and finally something small after I have been up a few hours.

Like others, I don't eat breakfast because I'm not hungry right after waking up.

I don't eat breakfast because I don't get hungry until around 11 a.m.

rob, there's nothing wrong with your son's breakfast routine but don't suggest it's sugar free. The fructose/glucose combo in fruit is almost identical to table sugar, and both milk and yogurt of course have the sugar lactose.

One breakfast food that is very quick and very nutritious is hard boiled eggs. Cook a handful of them in the evening while making dinner and they'll be just a crack away from eating in the morning.

Nothing like an hour or so in the barn feeding cows and milking to waken one's traste buds for breakfast ... says he, who hasn't done it in 65 years ... but Dad always used to say that brekafast was the most important meal of the day.

What with work being what it is for most of the population ... not many people eat one of the major meals of the day around noon.

And if one's major meal of the day is after work (when some call "supper" time) or, for some, even later ...

... one is asking one's digestive system to go to work when one wants the other parts of one's system to relax ... or sleep.

Food eaten not long before sleep doesn't go to waste - it mostly goes to waist.

ole joyfuelled ... who often has breakfast ... and another meal, late in the day

Like some others, I don't find solid food appealing when I wake up. You'd think I would, because I usually stop eating at night two or three hours before I go to bed.

I always have some kind of caffeine-free tea with soymilk first thing in the morning, and eat something with protein in it around 10:00 a.m. If I ate breakfast upon arising, I'd be hungry again by 10 anyway, so this way I don't eat twice.

I cant stand the idea of eating when I first get up. I always head right straight for an icy cold Coke. Never have liked coffee or tea. After my first taste of them as a teenager I have never had them. Same for alcohol.

Not "too" sugary

I didn't think it was sugar free. Better than what I eat!

Ha ha, Deeby, it would probably be much healthier for you to have a beer or a glass of wine for breakfast than to have a Coke. It would also be better for your teeth.

I also skip breakfast. I have more energy throughout the morning if I pass on it. I will eat at noon or so and again at dinner. I prefer two larger portions than smaller ones throughout the day. It took me a few days to get comfortable with intermittent fasting but the results keep my blood sugars in check and prevent crashes throughout the day.

Oh, dear...I really don't like hard boiled eggs.

But I love them soft-boiled, poached, over-easy, scrambled, in omelets, and even raw, when beaten together with orange juice.

I actually don't eat breakfast when I work. I blend a protein drink and bring it with me. I drink it on my way to work and finish it at my desk. I also bring a hard boiled egg to eat between breakfast and lunch. I don't normally eat the egg until the afternoon though but sometimes I do. It just depends. Sometimes I get hungry and sometimes I don't.

Snidely, it's diet Coke. Real Cokes are only an occasional treat, followed by brushing and flossing. In my world, Coke is worth the extra work !

I do eat breakfast, otherwise I'm starving before mid-morning. Just toast or cereal doesn't work for me either. I need to eat some type of protein.

In anyone's world, Deeby, both regular and diet sodas can have a negative effect on your health. My comment stands, the decision is obviously yours.

Good luck

I'm sure you all have heard the saying. Eat like a king at breakfast, a prince at lunch, and a pauper at dinner for good health. Of course, I don't follow my own advice but I do manage to eat a bowl of cheerios with skim milk and some kind of fruit in the morning.
