Breakfast? Do you eat it or skip it?

I absolutely eat first thing in the morning, well, maybe after using toilet, but you see what I mean, I have read here breakfast is not as important as people think?? I find that hard to believe but I'd like to read more about that, never heard such thing, anyway, I enjoy a fulfilling breakfast yes.

The whole 'breakfast is the most important meal of the day' myth is mostly from brilliant marketing from cereal companies, with some bro-science from the fitness industry thrown in as well. However, meal timing/frequency is a preference thing and doesn't really matter in terms of weight loss. Many here do IF and don't even break their daily fasts till noon or later. Figure out what works best for you and your lifestyle/schedule and then do that

I eat breakfast but not as soon as I wake up. I eat breakfast when I get to the office. I'm awakr for about 90 minutes before breakfast

It really depends on the day, but for the most part I don't usually have anything to eat until closer to noon. I just don't get hungry before then. And even at that point, it's often just an instant breakfast or similar in some tea.

Breakfast every morning. Usually a bowl of muesli. Then depending on what I have got training wise I will also have a bowl of Greek yoghurt with some fruit , an orange juice and a cup of tea

I find it hard because if I'm going to eat breakfast at my desk then it doesn't leave for a lot of options. Muffins are calorie-dense....most breakfast things are just flour and sugar crap foods. And I do NOT like those cold egg "muffins" that many people make.

Also, I am finding that if I skip breakfast I only have to be hungry for an hour or so before lunch AND it's much easier to meet my daily calorie deficit if I skip breakfast.

So, what do you do for breakfast? Or do you skip breakfast?

Breakfast is the most important meal out of all you should not skip it .. you don't have to have it too early. If sugary breakfasts do not fasinate you try having healthy things like
1- baguette with butter and olive paste
2- bagel with cheese and cucumber
3- shakes like half banana strawberry and a bit of milk and the rest water
34 i personally have moulin d'or healthy bread with zatar
Hope this helps

nope - ALL meal timing is a matter of personal preference and you should do whatever works for you. There are folks on this site who have lost tons of weight eating 5-6 meals a day and folks who have lost weight eating 1 meal a day - unless you are an elite level athlete, timing really doesn't matter.

This isn't true though.

It depends. On occasion, if I know I will likely be grazing lightly between morning and dinner time, I'll eat breakfast. If I have a more calorie-dense lunch planned, I skip it.

I struggle to have breakfast before work and usually skip it but on the weekend when I have more time to properly wake up I do like to make myself eggs or avocado on ryebread, but I've never been a fan of heavier fry ups or bread rolls in the morning.

Sounds like all stuff that would make me drowsy-- sugar and carbs. I like fat, protein, caffeine and some kind of probiotic food/ beverage for breakfast. Usually a smoothie or maybe kefir, yogurt, shashuka. Gets me going. Not claiming it is "the mostimporntnmeaofthdy"

Nope...

Breakfast every day within 15-30 minutes of waking up.

I love breakfast! I eat bacon, eggs and cheese with a few cups of spinach at around 1:00pm. Keto and IF

MossiO

I eat something light--maybe 200 calories or so--around 10am, which is when I get hungry. Usually it's something like protein powder in coffee, instant oatmeal, instant soup, or last night's leftovers. I do inadvertent intermittent fasting where I usually eat between 10 and 6.

shetland

I can't eat right away either. I wake up at 6am and drink my coffee right away. Breakfast is the same every day- Plain 2% Fage yogurt, 1/2 cup Engine 2 cereal on top, plus a cut-up granny Smith apple. Sprinkled cinnamon on top. I bring it to work and eat it at my desk with a spoon around 8:45

I prep my breakfasts (and lunches) for the week and eat both at work. It takes more than an hour between home and work, and it's just more comfortable to eat once I'm at my desk than to rush through breakfast at home. Since my work day starts at 8:00, breakfast is done by 7:45. It usually consists of an oat-based bread of some sort, banana or orange, a single-serve packet of peanut butter, and, most important, coffee. I also pack in my first round of water at this time.

If life gets weird, I'll eat breakfast and lunch in one sitting. I'd rather eat late and comfortably than scrunched and rushed.

My breakfast is between 6:30 and 7:00, then I aim to leave home by 7:20 to reach work less than 10 minutes away for a 7:30 am start. If it gets very busy at work, I might not even feel the urge to snack before I go to lunch around 1:30pm, then I leave work between 4:30 and 5:00pm
