Do you eat Breakfast?

I know the popular answer is "You're SUPPOSED to eat breakfast!!!" but I have noticed on the days where I eat breakfast, I over eat the rest of the day. So not sure if it's coincidence or what. Curious if anyone has had good results NOT eating breakfast. Usually, all I want upon waking is coffee and water.

I eat breakfast every single day and I'm 5'6 and weigh under 115. I mean, calorie-wise, I don't eat anything approaching what you would probably call a "meal", but I have a single egg and a cup of unsweetened coffee almost every day. A little bit of caffeine, protein, and healthy fats and I feel 110% better that day than I would if I didn't eat anything.

If I ever skip a meal it's lunch because I'm on campus and busy all day, but even then I try to snack on something.

Edit to say that the eating three hours thing, though, does not work for me. I hate that idea. I eat three meals a day and have fruit or raw almonds whenever I'm hungry. That's not a weight control program, it's just how my body feels best and if I needed a weight program I would adjust it accordingly.

*Snape voice* Always.
I start doing stuff really early and I can't do anything if I don't eat. I am usually hungry in the morning.

I never used to eat breakfast and found I could go till late afternoon before eating anything, but then I would over eat.
Now I have a breakfast everyday usually an hour after I've got up and yes I eat more meals, but less calories and I've lost 23lbs.

16/8 also. Breakfast for me is @ noon.

Ditto

And I train fasted 5 or 6 mornings a week.

Like many poster here, I am just not hungry first thing, so normally a couple of cups of tea, and first food is around noon

I personally don't understand how anyone can skip breakfast in the morning. I used to only eat a large bowl of cereal (normally the sugary stuff too) every morning about a half hour after I got up, and within a few hours I would be starving, so I couldn't imagine skipping it.

Since I started eating a bigger breakfast (one or two eggs, homemade bread toasted and sometimes a breakfast meat and/or a small serving of fruit - and I've cut out the coffee I used to have every day and drink at least two cups of water instead) and I have much more energy and a more positive attitude overall for my day, and can last up to 7 hours before needing to eat something again, and then my lunch is normally about half the calorie intake as my breakfast. The only time I "skip" breakfast is on my days off, and in those cases it's just that I don't eat for a few hours after I get up.

I'm so glad I'm not the only non-breakfaster! I've always struggled with breakfast. Sometimes I can force down a small bowl of cereal or a slice of toast, and if I get up late or eat a mid-morning breakfast I can cope with more food. I'm always hungry before lunch regardless of whether I eat breakfast, so why make myself feel ill by forcing food down?

I tend to just drink a glass of milk for breakfast. though lately I've been a bit naughty and added Nesquik chocolate powder to it >_>

More like a snack than breakfast..I eat the same thing every morning a 90 calorie fiber one bar. Usually the lemon one or cinnamon one. Then about 1 hour later I have something small as a mid morning snack like fruit or some fig newtons. It is fine for me, I am not a breakfast person. It is my least favorite meal.

ETA...when I was overweight, I used to eat 2 pop tarts for a total of 400 calories. Big difference.

I dont eat until noon.

On my day off I don't eat until after 2pm. On work days I eat breakfast and lunch before going to work (work 11-7pm) and don't eat while at work. Then I have dinner about 2 hours before bed (around 9pm). I work at a restaurant and we are not allowed to bring outside food with us, and I don't get long enough of a break to order food from the kitchen, and have time to enjoy it, so I just don't eat while at work.

I do sometimes snack while at work. I'll bring something like a Cliff Bar or some almonds to munch on. But I have to kind of sneak these foods, as we are not allowed to bring our own food from home due to health code.

Hollie, here is what I have learned over the years. If dinner is the last thing you had at night, then your body is doing something with that food and calories. All night long it is still doing its job, does not know if it is a weekend, etc. the only thing it knows that it is looking for something to eat, because your body it still working all night long. First thing it looks for is protein and that is going to come from muscle and it storing the fat and turning the carbs into sugar for storage, because it needs to be fed. Ok now you wake up in the morning and you expect your engine to take off and be revved up, but you have not given it any fuel to burn, so it going to good storage and still storing fat, because you are starving it and it is holding on to everything you have given it. If you feed it protein in the morning, now it has fuel to burn and get the engines burning fat and not muscle. energy is up and your Porsche body now has Premium fuel to make it perform.

Getting to eat breakfast is like my only motivation to get out of bed so...

I normally try to eat breakfast everyday unless I'm in a rush. Just small meals. Like one egg and a fruit, or one bowl of oatmeal with fruit, etc. I've noticed that when I skip breakfast, I eat larger quantities at one sitting later in the day... which I know is bad for my metabolism and ultimately my weight loss.

I eat a light breakfast, usually just toast or a small bowl of cereal....and of course, coffee.

I know the popular answer is "You're SUPPOSED to eat breakfast!!!"...

I haven't found this ^^ to be a "popular answer" ~ where are you hearing you're SUPPOSED to eat breakfast?

I usually do but that's because I usually wake up hungry. But some days I don't feel like eating til later and that's cool too. I say eat when you're hungry.
