    Breakfast is a choice based on what works for you. Some find that if they eat breakfast they are hungry ALL day - there's an interesting article on Lean Gains that explains this http://www.leangains.com/2012/06/why-does-breakfast-make-me-hungry.html People like this may find that skipping breakfast will actually help them be more successful on their journey.

    For me personally, I find that if I do NOT eat breakfast I am constantly grazing on junk until lunch time. My boyfriend is one of the people who just CAN'T eat anything until at least 3 - 4 hours after waking up or he becomes physically ill.

    There are people here who have lost significant weight by eating and also by NOT eating breakfast so you can't really say that it is a 100% requirement.

    If I have a stereotypical breakfast of 'breakfast food" (cereal, toast) - I'm hungry again far too quickly.

    I figured out that if I have a breakfast that is high in protein and fat, it tides me through until lunch or beyond. A serving of cottage cheese (full-fat) keeps my morning nice and stable. Without it, I get too hungry by lunch, and don't feel so well. With it, I can often power through until midafternoon if I'm too busy to eat a real lunch.

    Yes!

    Any complex carbs or grains with breakfast and I'm starving all day

    Avocado and cottage cheese is new favorite thing. I work out before work so I have this right after my workout and I feel full all day


    Took me awhile to figure out what was right for me , you gotta experiment til something sticks

    Well you know the old saying breakfast is the most important meal of the day. My nutritionist has told me to just at least eat a hard boiled egg, and maybe a yogurt. ( I hate breakfast) Also it doesn't have to be "Breakfast food" I have had leftover chicken in the morning from the dinner the night before.
    But also I find that if I don't eat Breakfast I don't hit my calorie mark, I actually have a hard time eating all my calories, but that will probably change as I keep loosing weight.
    Good luck to you ! :smile:
