    I always eat breakfast, but usually not right when I wake up. I don't tend to be hungry, so I just make a coffee and have a glass of water.

    My M-F go to breakfast is a Smoothie on my drive in to work: 1/2 cup frozen berries, 1/2 cup plain almond milk, 1/2 cup water, 1tbsp Udo's Oil (fantastic stuff, and great at keeping me full) and 1 scoop vanilla protein powder.

    Everyone is so different, but I have found for me, High Protein, High Fat, Lower carb breakfast keeps my hunger pangs at bay while at work. If I eat a higher carb filled meal in the morning, I am hungry well before noon. And by hungry I mean Cave Man hungry!

    Weekends are what ever I feel like or have in the fridge.

    40g of oats, one banana all blended up with 100ml of soya milk. I'm another who needs breakfast every day as I wake up starving.

    I eat breakfast 7 days a week, but always after my morning workout (food before the workout means a hasty trip to the bathroom to eliminate said food halfway thru the workout for me).

    I have a light starch like a piece of bread, sometimes fruit and protein - eggs, leftovers from the night before, cheese, or powder. This morning it was 2 eggs, mushrooms, chili pepper and turkey sausage crumbles on rye bread. Yesterday was 1/4 piece of bundt cinnamon swirl cake (think coffee cake), an apple and cheese. The day before that was leftover taco meat and shredded cheese with a banana and fresh blueberries.

    I don;t really have a regular breakfast, just whatever looks good when I get to the fridge after the workout.

    I don't eat breakfast, usually. I have coffee in the morning and eat my first meal around 11.

    I used to rarely eat breakfast from when I was a teenager until about a year ago. Ever since I started to I've noticed it's helped me not snack so much throughout the day. My breakfast varies from day to day...cereal and Greek yogurt, scrambled eggs/turkey sausage burrito, or a breakfast sandwich during the week, a protein bar or banana as I'm driving to work on the weekends (I usually have to be in at 6 AM) followed by an egg and sausage bowl when I have the chance to really eat. But everyone is different, so do what you feel comfortable doing.

    I feel really poorly if i don't eat breakfast but eating too early makes me feel sick! I've been having meal replacement shakes for around 2 months now and love them! Doesn't feel like 'food' but keeps me full untill lunch.

    you don't need to eat breakfast, meal timing is irrelevant when it comes to body composition and fat loss, I never eat breakfast
