    Thanks to this thread, I'm having omelets and biscuits for dinner tonight. I'm going cheese, mushroom, onion, jalapeno and spinach. B)

    It's a conspiracy.

    I was curious as to what percentage of the general population eats breakfast--is it higher or lowr than the percentage of breakfast eaters with long term weight loss success per the National Weight Control Registry?

    I found this food market research study that indicated that between 72% and 89% of males and 82% and 90% of females (depending on age group) ate breakfast during the study's time period.

    Then I found this , which found that 80% of Americans eat breakfast on any given day.

    It doesn't seem like 78% of long term weight losers who eat breakfast is significantly higher/lower than breakfast eaters in the population at large.

    This is the first rebuttal I've seen to the NWCR breakfast-eater statistic. You get a cookie. Or some bacon if you prefer.
