Breakfast? Do you eat it or skip it?

avskk

Eat it if I'm hungry, skip it if I'm not. I always pre-log a breakfast, just so I have room for it in my day if I want it. Then, if I'm not hungry, I delete it and use those calories later (dessert, wine, save them for going out to eat later in the week).

Great idea!! Really great idea!

Sometimes I and sometimes I don't. Depends on the day...

I eat breakfast at around 2pm. Every day.

I get up, get ready for work and start my 90-minute commute before eating my protein bar. Then I've consumed it and slightly started digesting prior to my gym session, so it helps a lot! I can't go on an empty stomach like some others. It's all personal preference really.

I'm more of a brunch eater. I might have coffee or a small chocolate first thing in the morning, but don't make a full meal of it until about 10:30 or later. Since it's two meals in one I can usually indulge with plenty of eggs and meat and cheese. Then I'll usually eat a small afternoon snack of soup or fruit.

I need to eat within minutes of waking up. Always have. Toast (pb and jam/honey) 50% of the time, eggs in some form 30% of the time, and something else the rest of time (maybe muffin or oatmeal)

I loveee breakfast! But I pretty much have the same thing everyday, pb&j on toast with coffee. Unless it's the weekend, then I usually add eggs to that, and sometimes on Sundays it's waffles or pancakes with lots of goodies on top

I love breakfast and second breakfast.

So? Don't eat breakfast.

I don't necessarily eat right away, but I do eat before I leave for work. My job is physical, so eating breakfast helps. I'm usually up for at least 40 minutes before I eat, then I have Greek yogurt and granola, or if I have extra time, I cook an egg and make a wrap with Flat Out and avocado. Little salt, pepper and curry. Sometimes I'll have a midmorning snack. I like the Quaker Breakfast Flats!

I love breakfast and eat it everyday. If you haven't yet maybe look into overnight oats. About a million ways to mix them up and they're really easy to take to work and eat at your desk.

If I don't have time to eat before leaving for work, I bring instant oatmeal packets with me. Easy to make with hot water in a cup or bowl at work.

Right now I'm at nearly the peak of overweight, so my body craves. I feed it a protien bar. When I'm down close to my goal weight, I most always skip, especially on weekdays. Weekends I try to splurge with a nice healthy-ish breakfast.

I have issues with feeling hungry or thirsty until well after noon. I am trying to remedy that by forcing myself to eat regardless. It is NOT easy! Im not a morning person.

It never occurred to me that I could make an omelette in the microwave. I think I may need to try this soon...

16/8 here, with the exception of coffee and a square of dark chocolate. Then lunch usually around noon or 1. I eat less overall that way. A bigger breakfast makes me hungry sooner.

Can I ask why you're trying to "remedy" your body's natural eating patterns? Why not just skip the meal you don't want and use those calories when you're actually hungry? It's okay to go with your natural meal-timing preferences -- your body and hunger cues are not the enemy!

I always have breakfast at home before I leave for work. Usually consists of cereal, boiled egg, toast with a variety of different spreads.

Ploofs

I usually don't eat breakfast. I like to get myself some coffee or tea though.

pdxwine

I usually have Greek yogurt.

shellyld2016

I did not always eat breakfast. I do now faithfully. I have found that for me I lose weight better when I do and have more control over what I eat. I don't always eat immediately depending on how early I am up, but by at least mid morning I have at least a protein smoothie or egg white sandwich.
Find what works for you and do that.

SarahLascelles1

I always eat breakfast, because if I don't, I am starving by 10. I don't always eat as soon as I get up, sometimes I swim/gym first, but I always have a breakfast before 9.

Definitely have brekky - sets your metabolism up for the day! Do a smoothie mixed with 1tsp of melted coconut oil. The combination of protein and fat will keep you full and it's easier to drink breakfast than eat since it's quick, portable and you don't need to chew (perfect when you're not hungry anyways)!

Not true. As @singingflutelady mentioned, the metabolism runs 24/7

Oh, and breakfast for me makes me ravenous the rest of the day. So that's a 'nope' from me.

I intentionally skip breakfast because I follow the Kinobody/Intermittent fasting way of eating.

I find it amazing to manage calories, manage my blood sugar and also make eating extremely enjoyable. It's the best way, in my opinion, to adopt an eating lifestyle and manage weight easily while building muscle!

I definitely do not eat right when I get up but i have definitely been trying to incorporate btrakfast more often

KareninLux

I am a breakfast everyday girl. Either toast with tahini or PB &H or periodically home made spanakopita - I go through phases. The only time I skip breakfast is if I have eaten a large meal the night before and am not hungry but that is not the norm.

Edited to add: if I did not do this I know I would eat strange things impulsively at work. If I stick to my normal breakfast then I stick to two boiled eggs and greek yogurt as a lunch and snack and then a larger supper at the end of the day.

This routine is the only thing that allows me to stay at 1200 calories per day when I am eating at a deficit. If I exercise - and I do almost every day - then I can have a glass of wine with sup.

kaydotklaxon

I have to eat breakfast because I'm hypoglycemic. Apparently my blood sugar drops very low when I'm asleep. But if I eat breakfast, I don't have to eat the rest of the day. Or if I eat late, I don't have to eat first thing in the morning.
The longer I go without eating, the colder I get when I do. It could be 100* outside, and I'd be shivering.

Christine_72

I drink coffee/tea with milk all morning, and try to put off eating for as long as i can.

JacTheBear

Only coffee and tea and then a light lunch around 1/2pm. Unless I'm staying in a good hotel, then its usually a tasty brunch.
