    I have to eat within about 60-90 minutes of getting up (sometimes more, sometimes less depending on what I'm doing) or else I start to feel really light-headed and weak. So I never ever ever skip breakfast. Sometimes, if I wake up late, I'll have breakfast more around the time of lunch, but I still usually have breakfast type foods. That said, I also love any and all breakfast foods and could eat breakfast for every meal of the day. All day breakfast every day? Yes please. :)

    i'm not hungry first thing in the morning. i'm hungry at night. therefore i leave my calories for later

    This. This has also helped me find an extra 1/2 hour of sleep in the morning normally spent cooking breakfast.

    I only like a few breakfast foods. Mostly bacon and biscuits, which I would usually rather have later in the day. Also, I work early in the morning, and sometimes I'm just too lazy.

    I have to force myself to eat anything before 3pm. I don't like breakfast or lunch. Just because one person loves it........well you get the rest. I grew up poor, like really poor. So poor that MILK was a treat, and lunch was usually a jam sandwich..... nothing more. So poor that new shoes, needed badly, were xmas presents...a once a year treat.

    So I guess I grew up not needing to love it or need it. I didn't get fat or underweight from not having it. Now I still dont NEED it. I'm not hungry I've got no reason to eat.

    Breakfast is my favorite meal. So, it's really hard to understand why people don't like breakfast. I went on a date with a girl that told me she hated breakfast. I never called her after that date. True story.

    Lol! I ditched a guy who preferred smoothies to eggs for breakfast (not just for that, but it was a [correct] sign he was way too spartan for me).

    To the coffee-lovers who aren't eating breakfast and feel they should: caffeine's an appetite suppressant, maybe wait til after some toast or something.

    And yeah I'd have breakfast for every meal if it made sense.

    I love breakfast, but I am another who can't eat first thing after waking up. I need to wait at least an hour or two before eating. I typically have just my oatmeal for breakfast...which I LOVE :) But I also will occasionally indulge in some bacon, eggs, beans, toast...or pancakes (banana) with maple syrup and bacon. Or a great big omelet stuffed with cheese veggies. The only thing I don't like for breakfast is plain cereal....it always makes me more hungry in less than an hour.

    yep! this. helps motivate me to hop up outta bed at the *kitten* crack of dawn when my alarm goes off. and fuels my morning runs. having said that, because i do love breakfast so much, i make sure to wake up with an hour or two to chill and digest before embarking on my aforementioned runs.

    I like breakfast food. Breakfast is the absolute best. Could eat that stuff all the time (and I do!).

    But as for timing? Hell no. Can't do it, for the most part. Two or so hours post wakeup, regardless of the time I wake? If I ingest something, body's going to puke it right back up.

    Edit: after reading more replies here, kind of relieved to see I'm not the only one who gets this way. Does anyone know why this happens?

    It depends. Sometimes (like this morning) I eat at 9am, other days I don't eat till like 2pm without even realizing it. I do like breakfast foods though! Waffles, bacon, eggs...mmm!

    Morning is the only time of day that I often do not want food. I have an eating disorder, so normally I'mthinking about food, and wanting to eat it, ALL the time... but in the morning, I'm not that awake. I hate waking up. takes me ages to get going ...

    I will EAT breakfast, but only to boost my metabolism. I eat 4-6 small meals a day rather than 3 big ones. I almost NEVER eat more than 200 calories for breakfast, and it's usually closer to 150. I just don't want that much food in the morning.

    I love everything about breakfast.
    For whatever reason, I usually wake up hungry, so I'm excited to eat.
    And I love breakfast food. Restaurants like Denny's where you can order breakfast any time of day make me SUPER happy.

    I love breakfast, it's my favourite meal of the day.

    The only trouble is - as soon as i eat it I'm a ticking time bomb of three-hourly hunger for the rest of the day.

    So I eat it as late as possible now - between 10-11am usually.

    I don't hate breakfast. I thoroughly enjoy breakfast. It just makes me sad, sometimes. I'm Texan and the Southern Boy in me wants to have buiscuits and sausage gravy, two eggs over easy, maybe some hashbrowns (to mix the yolk with most of the time), and then some bacon, sausage, or ham. Maybe throw in a stack of pancakes. Can't eat that and stay within my calories. I just don't exercise enough for that! LOL

    I almost always eat breakfast, though. I don't want to binge eat during the day and a bowl of cereal usually helps keep me from freaking out, especially after a good run.

    I love 'breakfast foods', but eating in the morning when I get up makes me nauseous. I have to force myself to do it and almost always regret it.

    I eat breakfast at about 8 am everyday. But most days I get up at 6 to work out, and I don't eat anything before that. Non-workout days are more like 7, but I still wait to eat until after I've showered and gotten ready, so it's still more like an hour after I get up. I would be starving by 10 if I didn't eat, especially on workout days. I alternate between smoothies, eggs, oatmeal and sometimes just a hodge podge of whatever I feel like eating. A couple days ago I had cottage cheese, some strawberries, and a wasa cracker with laughing cow cheese.
