Morning eaters- a rare breed?

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day!

I'm never hungry in the morning. I'm happy if I can force down a protein shake. I prefer to eat at noon and beyond. There's been a rare occasion I might actually wake up hungry. I'll eat a little something then, but nothing heavy. The thought of bacon and/or eggs in the morning makes my stomach flip...lol.

Some mornings I'm starving, and it's always hard to say no to Biscuits and Gravy day at work. Other days I'm good on a coffee until lunch time... just a coin toss every day.

I prefer eating evenings. Mornings just don't satisfy me. I also nibble on afternoons from time to time.

I'm the same as you......i have always been a massive breakfast person!!!!!

I could easily eat up to 600 calories for breakfast.....hearty oats, nuts, fruit etc.....lunch could be anything from soup/sushi/salad etc.....and a normal dinner!!!!

Where I have such a big brekkie......I find it gets me til about 1pm, and I hardly graze of crap....ie biscuits/sweets/choc etc throughout the day

I notice a lot of MFP'ers saying that they save a bunch of calories for their evening meal or midnight snacks.

I'm the opposite. I wake up STARVING and eat a good portion of my calories before noon and am then pretty content to eat lightly for the remainder of the day. Anyone else like me?

NB- this isn't about debating what time you eat. I support the idea that meal timing is not important. I eat a big morning meal be aide that's when Mutant gets her hungry on.

maybe the reason you're so hungry in the morning is you don't eat enough in the evening. Personally I think if you're as hungry as you say you are in the morning something is not quite right. For me I find spreading my calories pretty evenly means I'm never over hungry at any one point. Not debating just my observation.

I eat breakfast! Porridge and peanut butter is my favourite, delicious! That said though if I wake up and I'm not hungry, then I won't eat til later, and it just means that I get to eat a bigger dinner or bigger evening snack

I eat a much larger breakfast than any other meal - unless I KNOW I have something going on later that night. Often its just a loaded breakfast shake that ends up around 400 calories because I'm on the run, but I find I function better during the day and sleep easier at night. Since I go to work for 3 am and need to be in bed by 8 pm, my schedule is usually "off" anyway :blushing:

I see so many dairies with their first entry at lunch. What the?! Ive consumed usually almost 1000 calories by then! Couldnt live without a decent breakie, morning tea, and lunch.

If I'm hungry I eat it.

If I'm not I don't.

I've heard you love to eat it in the mornings...

I'm like you.

Eat breakfast and then eat pretty much all day (I usually have around 800 to 900 calories in the day time, not counting breakfast). Dinner is often something small, fairly regularly toast. I never have a problem wanting to eat loads in the evening (although sometimes I choose to, like tonight because I'm going out).

Works for me.

Interesting, because you're right now that you bring it up. All I do is drink my protein shake and on very rare occasions (when I'm really dying of starvation) I'll eat some fruit. Other than that I always like to have more calories during the night for some reason because I'm paranoid I might go over. I usually have a snacking problem at night -_-

I eat brekkie anywhere between 7 a.m. and 12 noon. Depends on work schedule, shifts and days off (weekend). Times vary. Some days I do not feel hungry until lunchtime though, so eat then...other days I eat 500 cals just before sleepy time...I don't have a fixed eating schedule, although I do like to fit it all in. : )

I always had trouble eating breakfast because I don't like cereals . With my schedule at the moment, I always make sure I eat something. It tends not to be high calorie though. But by the time we get our eldest ready for school and take her , would be really hungry and feeling sick. So I eat something while getting her ready, then after she is sorted I can do my workout or take my youngest out. Then get ready for work. I tend if I have breakfast to not have a snack, but have lunch. Then eat in the car or when I get to work at 2pm. A small meal at 4 ish and dinner at 7 ish. Most of my calories are in the pm.

I used to swear by breakfast and made sure it was my biggest meal....would get the bulk of my fibre, protein and iron at that time as well, but lately I've just not felt like eating in the morning...so I get up around 6:30 and have coffee with flax and my vitamins and call it "breakfast", then have a morning snack around 9 which is my ACTUAL breakfast....it's worked out better for me in the long run so I'll probably continue it this way....sometimes I'll have a piece of fruit if I am actually hungry when I get up but that doesn't happen often...
