Yes, but it may be less than usual. Otherwise, my blood sugar is thrown out of wack.

Breakfast for sure, and probably a little lunch. Dinner is scheduled for 4:00, which means we won't actually eat until 5:00.

Yes, I have to eat in the morning, no matter what.

Just toast and coffee. Our dinner is at noon, I normally don't eat lunch because I eat a big breakfast, so I want to be hungry for turkey. Thus I over eat. ha

No. I usually have the turkey ready by 11 or 12, and I'll probably cook the rib roast tomorrow night. That's for my immediate family, I then go over to my aunt's house, and am expected to eat there, too! Cup of coffee and a muffin, maybe.

Yes, probably will have the usual oatmeal. Something very light for lunch. Guests won't get here until after lunch, and the big turkey dinner won't be served until around 4:30.

I make a holiday brunch with bacon, eggs and scones and will have a light snack in the afternoon. We eat dinner around 5.

No breakfast for me either. We will have turkey around noon or one. Then later on I might have a half of a turkey sandwich. I love turkey & all the leftovers!

Breakfast, ALWAYS! and usually before 8:00 AM. Turkey dinner will be around noon. Looking forward to it.... only, our TG isn't till Friday, cause Lori works on Thursday.

Moni

With just the two of us, we have our own tradition. I make pies on Wednesday night. Thursday morning we have a slice of pie with coffee and watch parades on TV.

We don't have our Thanksgiving dinner until 6:00 p.m. so yes, breakfast here. When I was a kid, Thanksgiving dinner was always around 1:00 or 2:00 in the afternoon.

Always. We don’t eats until mid afternoon and I have to feed myself something no matter what is going on.

I usually have a mug of Inka...then wait for IT. :0)

I always eat something in the mornings when I take my vitamins. Sometimes just a couple of pieces of toast, but I have to eat something.

I eat a regular breakfast and very little for lunch. I do not pig out on T'Giving dinner though. I have regular size portions with an extra side dish. And pie later on.

I don't usually eat much for breakfast, just a little something to take my pills. So I don't expect to be different. I don't know what time our meal will be served yet she hasn't told me. I will find out today.

I too will have something for breakfast, typically something light. We don't eat until late afternoon as well and I will develop blood sugar issues and light headedness if I don't have something to fuel the body :-) I also do not "pig out" on T'day dinner....as I get older, I seem to need less to fill me up and I just simply cannot eat that much at a single meal anymore. I had a business engagement last night that included a dinner and I could only eat about half of it and just a bite of the dessert. It was delicious but about twice what I normally have for an evening meal.

With our family, it is less about the eating - although that is surely a sigificant aspect of the day - than it is about gathering together and enjoying each others' company. I just hope for a few leftovers to take home with me :-))

SOOO what does one do when they have a house full of guests?

Yes. DH & I will go with the "two meal plan". We'll have a reasonable breakfast around nine. I'll be serving Thanksgiving fixings around 3:00 pm.

I will be running with my Sunday running group at 7 followed by a potluck breakfast at one member’s home. Usually we have mimosas or similar treat. Turkey dinner will be around 4 p.m.

I always eat breakfast. I try to not overdo the carbs at breakfast so with coffee may be a piece of toast but always protein of some kind. Eggs cooked or hard boiled, cheese, a glass of milk, hummus, etc. Breakfast is ad lib on your own so guests can take or not take as they choose, unless something for everyone is made (like a fritata or quiche).

We tend to have Thanksgiving dinner at dinner time but on the early side, like maybe 5:00, so lunch is needed too. Our family's holiday lunches are traditionally done with heavy hors d'oervres, healthy munchies, wine and beer.

Breakfast is so important, it helps with controlling blood sugar and weight gain. Yes, I don't want my stomach growling at T-day church service.

I can't even look at food much before noon. Have never been a breakfast eater, and now as I am older my appetite is rather poor. We are going out for Thanksgiving this year. Our reservations are for 12:45. My husband is going to have the perennial turkey dinner but I'm going to get the prime rib. My favorite part of a roasted turkey is a wing and I doubt I'll be able to order that, and no one makes oyster dressing like mine. So I'll have a cup of the butternut bisque, a bite of the prime rib, probably eat the twice baked potato. Dessert will be a piece of bourbon pecan pie. I plan to bring the prime rib and pecan pie home. The soup will fill me up. I may not be able to eat the entire potato. I used to love to eat.

I will eat a small bowl of my usual fruit, coffee, and OJ. Not my usual brunch meal as I only eat two meals a day, every day.Brunch and dinner. We don't eat till six or later but we have appetizers around 4.

Old fashioned oatmeal with walnuts every day. Thanksgiving dinner will be late afternoon.

We normally will eat around 1 or 2 so I will have something mid morning so I'm ready to eat :-) And I like it planned early so I can enjoy dessert without being overly stuffed.

Just the two of us for Thanksgiving and we won't eat until our normal dinnertime which is around 6:30. I will have my usual breakfast of an omelet and some cut up fruit because waiting to eat until 6:30 would be a very long wait! No lunch though, but then I rarely eat lunch. I'm also on the two meals a day plan.

I have only been eating breakfast for the past few months, prior to that I never ate it, but even now its just a small bit of oats with sugar and milk mid morning. I probably won't eat breakfast TGiving. I will make up a tray for hubs and the kids to eat while watching the parade. Its almost always the same for TGiving breakfast. Oatmeal muffins, strawberries, hard boiled eggs, orange juice and as a extra special treat for the kids chocolate milk. They will all eat breakfast on tv trays and watch the parade. I can watch them and the parade while working in the kitchen. The boys will want something around noon and will have peanut butter crackers and grapes. Just enough that I don't feel as if I'm starving them. This is about when I start getting hungry and consider how I can sneak a piece of pie without anyone noticing a piece missing. LOL.

I always eat breakfast, though mine is often in liquid form....a fruit, greens, and protein drink. We will also have a light bite before heading over to a friend's gathering around four.

Missing a meal is very unhealthy for me.

No. And I probably won't eat anything until very late. I'm never hungry when I wake up. I will make SO breakfast,as i do every day,then I'll be going to my moms very early to get cooking,although most of it I will have made or at least started the day before. Light munchies/lunch at noon,dinner at 4 or 5. I'll be cooking all day, and when I do that,I just can't face eating it. Only in the past couple years have I forced myself to take a plate home and I'm grateful for it around midnight. Before,I wouldn't even take anything home and was wishing for it later. I still don't want anything by the time I leave, but try to remember that I'll regret it later if I dont.

But I always take a pie. My mom always makes me my very own pumpkin pie as a thank you for doing everything else. Pumpkin pie is my favorite ,and hers is the best. That's good any time of day or night. With cool whip. Not whipped cream. It has to be cool whip.

Well, since I am hosting, and serving the turkey, gravy, dressing, mashed potatoes, and pie, I'm sure I'll be eating turkey, dressing, and potatoes along the way, after my cup of coffee and possibly a bit of yogurt. So if you call that breakfast, then yes. Yes, I do eat breakfast. The day after? It'll be pie. Lots of pie! and nibbles all day long. I've lost weight consistently regardless of the holiday since March, so it must be working!

I'm a 3 meals a day girl, but breakfast for me is nearly always a cup of yoghurt, and lunch is cheese, grapes and a bit of dark chocolate.

I'm hungry after reading all these posts.

I always have a bowl of high fiber cereal with almond milk in the morning...always.

Normally breakfast is my biggest meal of the day then a combination of lunch and supper around 2 for me and that is it. I don't tend to get hungry like some I guess, no blood sugar problems. Sometimes I get so busy I even forget to eat.

Sue

We have coffee and tea. Anyone who wants something will fix it themselves. I skip breakfast and fix quiches and fresh fruit for brunch.

We don't do anything special for Thanksgiving, but when my kids were little, I used to fix those Pillsbury Orange Danish in the pop open can for Christmas morning. They just loved them. Of course that was over 40 years ago. It would be made from scratch now. lol.

Sue, I'm not lecturing you but....you have your second meal quite early in the day not to be eating anything after. Your body will love you if you at least try a light meal later on. Ok I am only thinking in a concerned motherly way....force of habit. LOL.

I go to bed shortly after five or six though.

Sue

Seagrass, I make oyster dressing also! No breakfast. Coffee, orange slices, and the pickle tray. Dinner at 1PM. Probably, the pie for supper. along with more dressing.

Yes, I will eat a light breakfast. We will be eating around 2:00. But before that, and with the meal, we have wine. I do not want to drink on an empty stomach.

I never miss breakfast. This is the only meal I ever finish before DH does. It can be just hot or cold cereal -- or a full Sunday breakfast of bacon, eggs, English muffins/coffee cake/muffins/whatever, OJ, and a cup of coffee -- and the newsPAPER.
