No breakfast

For the last few days I haven't been hungry in the morning so I end up skipping breakfast. This is new as I usually have breakfast every day. What do you all do when or if you have this problem? Do you make yourself eat or try to make back the couple hundred calories later in the afternoon or just skip it all together.

    I make myself eat it, and eat one with protein to give me energy.

    I wouldn't eat if I'm not hungry

    You should listen to your body

    Some days you'll eat more than other days.

    I'm a morning and early day water and often skip dinner

    Listen to your body. Eating when not hungry is what got us overweight

    I skip breakfast because I don't really feel like eating breakfast. Then I eat huge dinners and bedtime snacks because I've got leftover calories since I skipped breakfast.

    I Wake up, have coffee, go to gym, do some work etc by the time I am done it's lunch time. Doesn't bother me any. And like SS, I enjoy the extra leftovers for snacking at night.

    If I didn't east breakfast there is no way in hell I could lift 13,800 pounds (what I lifted today after 45 minutes at the gym). I was getting a bit shaky even after eating (not enough carbs this morning).

    During the week I'll have something in the morning, but that's because I go to the gym at 5:30am and I get hungry by 9. During the weekend, I'll just wait until lunch.

    I don't eat breakfast. Would prefer bigger lunch and dinner. However, on the weekend I do enjoy a bacon and egg brunch :smile:

    My entire adult life, I've never eaten breakfast. It's always made me ill, so I don't eat it now. I drink coffee and water in the mornings. By the time I'm hungry, it's lunch time! The only time I can do breakfast is if I get up *super* early. And even then, it has to be a while after I'm awake before I eat it. And I certainly don't force anything if I'm not hungry, but what works for one person isn't going to necessarily work for someone else.

    Listen to your body! Find out the best solution for *you*. :D

    I will drink a high protein breakfast shake to get calories, and energy for the day.

    I quit eating breakfast in college. Never really got hungry until 11 or so, and then it was time for lunch. My weight loss partner convinced me to eat breakfast when I started my current journey, and since I mostly work out in the mornings, I have found it helps, but on days that I don't workout or don't workout until later, I find I still don't need breakfast and it doesn't have any effect on what I eat later, in fact, I have always thought I ate more throughout the day on days that I eat breakfast.

    If you aren't hungry until later, it's fine to eat later. Just make sure you log and stick to your plan.

    If I'm not hungry in the morning (which hardly ever happens - I'm more likely to skip lunch for some strange reason) I'll have something small - even just an ounce of cheese or a single boiled egg, because I know if I skip it I'm going to feel like crap later. I always do. But if you can skip a meal and it doesn't adversely affect you, go for it. Just make sure you make up for it later by getting all the calories and nutrients you skipped at breakfast. :drinker:

    I eat when I am hungry and don't when I'm not. Eating when I wasn't hungry is what got me here and I am working hard to break habits and change my lifestyle.

    I am not a breakfast person unless it is something to drink. I prefer the coffee route and then water. I know everyone says that you are to start off with breakfast but that is not me. I was not made to eat breakfast as a kid since I was up before my mom getting ready for school, waking her up for work, making her coffee then running to catch the bus. And then high school after swim team, it was chocolate do nut gems and a Pepsi. f I did eat something, it was a Carnation instant breakfast and very occasionally I can get instant oatmeal.
    If I do eat breakfast it is normally on the weekends after 9 or 10 am.

    I am working on setting a better example for my kids to eat something in the morning, it is just a lot harder for me. Maybe I can eat a piece of fruit which I am confident I can eat.

    I was never really a breakfast fan, I only started eating it when I fell pregnant because I found eating has helped with morning sickness.

    If you don't want to eat breakfast, don't.

    Not a breakfast eater, either. It makes me overeat for the rest of the day. Early lunch = 1/3 of my cals, then the rest in one big meal 5-6 hours later.
