    I just clicked through this link to defend Molly Ringwald...

    ...but now I see that this thread is strangely about meals. *shrug*


    (As for meals, I just eat breakfast around noon, lunch around 6p, and dinner around 8p. Problem solved.)

    Came in to see Breakfast Club gifs. Was not disappointed.

    Now I await Steve098's arrival.

    I love how so many of you put it into perspective. It's "break fast," with no specified time, despite all the indoctrination from cereal commercials in my misspent youth. The Trix Rabbit and that weird cuckoo bird lied to me. I'm going to opt for a late morning snack on the days I don't feel like an early smoothie. I suspect that's more the normal pattern my body would like.

    As far as The Breakfast Club, some of them like, Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy are doing okay, but have you seen Judd Nelson and Anthony Michael Hall lately? That's enough to scare the early morning appetite right out of me.

    I hate breakfast more than I hate calculus. Except for pancakes, but I really prefer them for lunch and let's face it, no matter how you dress it up a pancake is just not good for you (good for the soul though, with blueberries).
    Unfortunately I have a toddler who LOVES breakfast, eggs specifically, so I make some for him on a daily basis. Today we shared some stale Cheerios and carrots.
    I don't get super hungry by lunch if I skip breakfast though, I actually get hungrier if I eat it. Even just a glass of milk will make me feel ready to gnaw off a limb by lunch time, so I set out some premeasured snacks for the time I'm doing stuff around the house before lunch is ready.

    Nutritionist told me this morning that you MUST eat something before your morning workout. . .and all I could think was "you want me puking on the treadmill?"

    I get up at 4:30 and am at the gym by 5 - with nothing but water. I get to work at 7, have some coffee, and usually about 8:30 is when I eat. I can not eat first thing in the morning, my system needs to get up and get going first.

    My metabolism can just start later than everyone elses, and that's fine by me!

    I used to be a "anti-breakfast" person, too. I also leave for work at 7 am, and I can't eat that early (nor do I have time considering how much I love to sleep) so I drink my coffee and pack breakfast and lunch to the office every day. It's not much, just heavy on protein--usually plain Greek yogurt and fruit with a very (very) small amount of granola. I start getting hungry about 8:30 or so, and eat then. Weekends I get started an hour later and eat eggs and toast because I can cook, but again, protein.

    I did have to make myself start eating breakfast--and it's true, at first, I wasn't hungry in the mornings, and I didn't get hungry until noon. But I really think it was bad habits, not 'my preference'. If I'm awake and moving, my body needs fuel, and I have a much easier time meeting my goals and not overeating when I'm hitting two thirds of my calories before I get home in the evening. When I eat very few calories throughout the day, I'm too ravenous and can't get full.

    It was worth the "force" just like making myself drink water...for me. Now I'm usually full by dinner times and which is helpfully when I end up at events with snacky junk food... and I'm fueled when my body actually needs fuel. I feel better. YMMV, but it might be worth giving it a month or so to try it out.

    BUT--here's the Caveat-- your question was, "Is it really the most important meal of the day?" and it sounds like the answer is, Probably doesn't matter...

    I had snickers and reeses peanut butter cups for breakfast... These are facts.

    That's a breakfast I can get behind!!!!

    Befroe MFP, I never ate breakfast. Then I would be starving at 10AM counting the minutes until my lunch break. I have started buying and eating Special K meal bars in the morning on my way into work. They are super yummy and I can take it on the go and I can chew it. (I don't like drinking my food) If I am not ready for it on my drive in, I keep it next to me and eat it when I am ready. It helps. I have learned to eat as soon as I can in the morning and avoid getting overly hungry. If I do that I tend to binge so I keep small things handy like the special K bars to hold me off till mealtime.
