I am somewhat hungry after I am up about an hour and had coffee. If I skip breakfast I lack energy in the morning so I eat a light breakfast. I know it is not best to eat your big meal at night but that is when I am hungry.

Oh, yeah. I almost always eat breakfast. If I don't I'll be ravenous by 9:00. My DH rarely eats breakfast, and he does home repair so he's working hard. I do not understand how he can do physical labor on no food!

Absolutely. I eat within 30 minutes of waking up. It's usually steel cut oatmeal, banana, raisins and nuts tossed in.

Yes, I have to have my coffee with toast, muffin or cold cereal like Cheerios. . Also oj

I can go without lunch much better.

Never. I also do low carb, so have absolutely no hunger until at least 11:00 AM. Sometimes I forget to eat until the afternoon. I do start my day out with a 32 ounce glass of warm water and coffee.

No, I never liked eating or even smelling food in the morning. Just coffee, please. I need to be awake for at least 4 hours before I want anything.

I wake up super early ( naturally,usually between 4 and 6) and have coffee right away.....usually not hungry for "breakfast" until I am at work after 9. I then eat at pretty much the typical hours that everyone else does.

Yes. I wasn't a breakfast eater before but in the 80's I did Weight Watchers and learned how important it was for to eat in upon getting up in order to avoid grabbing junk when hunger crept up unexpectedly later. So I developed the habit. When my kids were in school I ate breakfast out most mornings.

I don't necessarily ate breakfast food as my first meal. It can be anything I want but I try to include a fruit, protein and a starch.

I got so used to having breakfast first thing that now I hate having to wait for it. But I take thyroid meds so I wait an hour before eating. If I wake up early I take my pill and go back to bed so I can eat upon arising.

I could use a bite to eat right now, but eating before I get to work doesn't happen for me. While my stomach says, "EAT PLEASE EAT!" my mouth goes, "keep that stuff out of my mouth! It's too early!" so I listen to my mouth. :)

Absolutely YES! I am another early riser, or at least, I used to be. Lately I have been sleeping in to almost 7 AM! I drink an eight ounce glass of water pretty quick, and eat breakfast an hour later. Our bike club meets often on Saturday or Sunday mornings for breakfast, when the weather is really crappy, instead of riding. I can't ever participate... unless I want to eat a second breakfast. However, I do second breakfasts, when I am out on a bicycle tour. The rest of the time I don't need the extra calories.

Since Charlotte moved in, I eat the big meal in the evening again. It is hard, to keep my weight at a steady place, when I eat bigger in the evening.

But eating a meal together is one of the pluses of having a house mate, thus, we just eat a bit earlier.

I grew up with eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a banker and dinner like a pauper; thinking.

I am not hungry when I first wake up, but I do have coffee first and then have something anywhere from 30 min to an hour later. If I am going for a run, I have a banana or maybe toast with peanut butter, or oatmeal before a long run. Gets me going and provides some energy for the rest of the morning.

Coffee asap, always. Usually I eat a small breakfast within an hour of getting out of bed. As an occasional treat, we will plan a big breakfast in the mid-morning -- more of a brunch, actually.

I do skip lunch too. Probably why I gorge at dinner. Doctor wants me to eat steel oats for breakfast too. Don’t care for them.

DH and I just talked about this last night, we'd had 'breakfast' for a fast dinner. Potatoes, eggs, bacon, fruit and toast. He'd said he didn't understand how people could eat that kind of meal first thing in the morning but he'd enjoyed it at dinner time. I'm the same way. In fact, I'd been taking an antibiotic for a sinus infection a couple of weeks ago that had to be taken with food, and I was running out of things I could think of to eat first thing in the morning to cushion the medication (10 days). I'd resorted to soup in a mug more than one morning.

He begins his day with juice, coffee. I have a glass of water and a mug of Ovaltine. He will eat something late morning, where I'm usually reminding myself its time to have some lunch, time to put some fuel in this body. If I eat heavily, I feel weighed down and slowed, not energized.

I do wake up hungry, but have to have some coffee first, get on the computer, then time goes by before I ever get to eat my breakfast, but I "do" eat breakfast every day, always have unless I have to fast before a doctor appointment for blood work.

No. I'm not hungry until maybe 10am. I also can't do sit ups or run mileage w/ a full stomach. I also would like to loose a couple of pounds. Congrats on the weight loss!

Never when I first get up. But then I usually am up very early - anywhere from 4am to 6, very rarely any later. So it's just coffee to begin with....as soon as I can make it :-) Then if I have nothing planned, no early appointments, I will fix breakfast around 9-9:30, sometimes a bit later. But if I do have early appointments scheduled, I skip breakfast and try to squeeze in an early lunch. For me it's an either/or - if I eat breakfast, no lunch; if I skip breakfast, then there is a lunch meal. And dinner for me is usually quite light........I am just not very hungry that late in the day. If I know I have dinner plans, I try not to eat much during the day at all so I will be hungry for dinner.

Usually not too hungry unless I eat right before bed. I often skip breakfast. But I'm on day 2 of my keto diet and I woke up this morning absolutely ravenous to the point where it was painful so I immediately ate some cheese and felt better. I assume it's part of the adjustment as it's unusual.

I start the morning with a big glass of water and a cup of tea. Breakfast is eaten after I'm done with my tea which is about an hour after rising. I'm re-thinking that as I've started a morning yoga routine and feel it might be better to eat after yoga rather than before. Keep hearing one shouldn't exercise on a full stomach, although I've felt no ill affects from doing so.

I really like the way my mornings are now - tea, breakfast, yoga, shower and start the day.

Absolutely! I'm a three-meals-a- day gal!

I don't want food for hours after waking. I generally finish off my pot of coffee before I start browsing around for breakfast.

No, not right away, but it usually is my biggest meal of the day. I do not drink coffee.

Usually I'm hungry when I wake up, unless I get up earlier than usual. I prefer to eat about 60-90 minutes after getting up.

Not hungry when I get up, but have a little something to eat. It helps me from overeating and eating the wrong things before lunch time.

No. I'm not usually hungry for at least a couple of hours. I ate less yesterday so I was hungry today, but that usually isn't a problem.

If I don't eat my sugar goes wacky!

No I don't even want to think about food for quite a while. I have an iced mocha coffee and work on getting my hands moving and doing some reading online before I am ready to consider eating. Generally around noon. It's a rare occasion that I want to have breakfast.

I don't think I have been hungry in eons. That doesn't mean that I don't want to eat....I am just not what I would call hungry. I usually eat something within 30 minutes of getting up, before I go out to feed the horses. (I don't drink coffee). It will be something quick usually, and I take my vitamins, which is why I eat before taking them. Sometimes I go out at 7:30, which is the time I usually feed, and it may be noon before I get back in the house, and then I will eat again. I just feel better if I eat something spread throughout the day. I will usually eat again at around 3 and again when we have supper. I don't eat very much at a time, but I eat frequently.

I can, and do, go days without eating. If I didn't cook for my husband, my food bill would be about five dollars a week. A fried chicken leg, or pork rib, from the deli every couple of days, and I'm good. LOL

Larry eats three meals a day with an afternoon, and an after dinner, snack every day. So I do a lot of cooking, just not eating.

I eat an hour after I get up...a combination breakfast/ lunch with egg, avocado, cheese panini on grained bread and a huge bowl of five fruits and of course coffee and OJ.

It looks like a few of us, including myself, substitute coffee instead of food for breakfast. I think coffee suppresses my appetite.

Yes it is my main meal of the day.

I'm never hungry in the morning or even by lunch. I don't drink coffee either. I eat a average meal around 5pm then a snack later.

No, I 16:8 IF (Intermittent Fast.)

I eat between 12 and 8. I feel better than ever when pairing 16:8 IF with low carb.

I cannot get going unless I eat first thing in the morning. Usually I eat lunch for breakfast. Fools me into thinking I've eaten lunch until it's dinner time. If I'm not hungry I'll have hot cocoa made with whole milk which is about 150 calories, definitely not nothing.

No. Just coffee. No food until at least 3 pm but 5 pm preferably. I honestly have no interest in trying to correct what comes natural for me.

No, I am never hungry in the morning, Coffee only in the morning and often skip lunch or have something light. Rarely even snack. Dinner is the big meal, but even then, the less I eat during the day, he less hungry I am at dinner. I do often have a light bedtime snack, maybe a cookie or two. That's most days, their days I enjoy a brunch Anne dinner or if lunching with friends, I usually also have a large dinner. I really don't lack energy because of skipping meals, weight is near perfect, on the lower end of the ideal range, although if I am really busy, I'll drop to a bit too thin, but I then when things calm down I'll gain a bit.

I wouldn't necessarily say I wake up hungry, but I do have breakfast pretty much every day. Most often a fried egg sandwich with a slice each of ham and swiss in toast, with a large latte. If I'm in a hurry I might omit the sandwich but the coffee is a must-have.

I almost never wake up hungry but eat within an hour after getting up. If I eat my usual Cheerios, I'm hungry by 10:30 or 11 and sometimes have to eat a snack or early lunch.

I tend to go through streaks where I want breakfast but a majority of the time I eat later. I generally eat once a day. I just don't want to eat more than that and I sure don't need to. I've never been a person who wants to get up and sit down at the table and eat right away. If I'm traveling or something I like to start with a good breakfast but will often drive an hour or two and stop to eat. It gives a break while driving to stretch and relax.

Cynic, you just reminded me. Back in the day when we traveled we would sometimes have room service bring up breakfast & spoil ourselves. But when at home - the LAST thing I feel like doing 1st thing in the morning is cooking. Brewing coffee is as far as I go unless I have friends or family overnight. Then I’ll put forth the extra effort.

JeCrigler...try an "overnight" oatmeal recipe. so good. now it is eaten cold but i have grown to LOVE it. i use "old fashioned" oats instead of SC but i am sure u can use SC. i top it with 2% cottage cheese to add extra protein, which fills/holds me till next meal.

and yes i do eat breakfast every day, within 1 hour of waking. i usually haven't eaten for 12 hours prior, so i am hungry when i wake.

I am usually not hungry for a couple of hours after waking. However, I am ready for coffee as soon as I can make it happen.
