Breakfast

I eat oatmeal with dired fruit and toast. Always coffee first. Pretty much keeps me going until lunch. I eat breakfast everyday.

There's no definitive answer, it varies from person to person.

Somepeople can skip breakfatst, even work out in a fasted state, and find that they do well.

Some people find they skip breakfast, but then get hungry mid-morning and reach for a sugary snack.

Some people find that eating breakfast wakes up their hunger monster, and do better when they delay eating (but have something healthy planned)

Some people find that cereal or oatmeal satisfies them all morning, others find that protein like eggs work better.

From a health standpoint, there really isn't anything scientific that definitively says you NEED to eat breakfast.

So, it becomes preferential. I typically don't eat breakfast - just coffee. Sometimes I do. Just depends on how hungry I feel in the mornings. For what its worth I also eat about 500-1000 calories right before bed, too. I hear that is taboo in the world of dieting myths, too. I like to live on the edge!

some days I have a BIG breakfast, this is usually when I have more tie to make it. I love making protein pancakes, or eating eggs with a cinnamon bagel and almond butter.

Most days I make a quick omelette with veggies or a protein shake... and Coffee. THAT is the essential part!

I never skip breakfast. I eat pretty much the same thing every morning (well, weekdays anyway) - a bowl of oatmeal with almond milk, brown sugar, PB2, and cinnamon. It's like a big gooey peanut butter oatmeal cookie. YUM! I don't know how people skip any meal, including breakfast. I enjoy eating and, damnit, I'm going to eat.

You don't HAVE to eat breakfast in order to lose weight as long as you're not overeating later in the day because you're so hungry. Some people don't get hungry until lunch time, and that's fine, but I don't think it's a good idea to not eat in the mornings if you are hungry just so you can eat more later in the day. That's just going to lead to a binge.

So, if you're hungry, eat, if you're not, don't. Just be honest with yourself and don't skip meals because you think it'll help you lose weight.

I have to eat the lunch my school provides and it tends to be up there in calories. Today I decided to skip breakfast and see if I'm ravenous by lunch, and I wasn't. So I'm probably gonna start passing on breakfast from now on to give me more calories to work with in the evening.

MOST IMPORTANT MEAL OF THE DAY, SETS THE PACE FOR EATING HABITS THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND KEEPS METABOLISM MOVING, EAT BREAKFAST!

I have coffee for breakfast. I have iced coffee with milk for lunch. Meal timing is pretty irrelevant and should depend on personal preference.

The first two points are opinion, and the last is false. If you find eating breakfast works for you though more power to you.

love breakfast when i can get it i usually get oatmeal but sometimes switch it up

I need to eat breakfast or I start munching mindlessly before lunch. I don't eat as soon as I get up though, my stomach needs time to wake up ( about 1 or 2 hours). I usually have a protein (egg, low fat cottage cheese, other slice cheese or black beans) and a carb with fiber (fresh fruit, baked sweet potato with skin, whole wheat bread or flat) and of course my coffee with skim milk. I usually save my fat for later in the day.

I NEED to eat breakfast...it's always been crazy to me that some people can't stomach it. So I am for sure one in the category that eats breakfast every single day.

For the last few months I've been taking 1 cup milk with 1 scoop vanilla protein and usually either some pumpkin spice or some kind of extract in there for variety (mint is really good). I usually have 1-2 snacks before lunch too, so I pretty much eat all day :-)

Weekends I love making Greek Yogurt Pankcakes (they are so awesome and filling!) with some healthy berry syrup I whip up or, my new favorite, light toast topped with a generous amount of fat free cottage cheese and sugar free preserves. Yum. I'm already looking forward to Saturday's breakfast.

i eat breakfast every morning. during the week it's either: toast with peanut butter or eggs, cheese, maybe a meat (bacon or ham) on a small tortilla. weekends it can be any of the following: eggs, bacon, toast, homemade pancakes, homemade waffles, omelets, frittatas just depends on what's in the house and what i'm in the mood for. if i make pancakes then i make enough so i can have them during the week too.

I regularly don't have my first meal of the day till 1/2 pm but wake up around 8. I also eat a lot past 7pm, which bogus science would lead you to believe makes you fat.

In all honesty, eat when you feel hungry. No, not when you're bored, hungry. I have no hunger in the morning so wakeup, workout, get to work and before 1pm I'm fine with just coffee. Also a little tip for those who claim they feel overly hungry in the morning- drink water. Most people confuse the sensation of dehydration with hunger. Wake up, have between 500ml to 1 liter of water and for the majority of people that satisfies their 'pangs'.

This being said, I am not anti-breakfast, it just doesn't suit me. I believe there is no most optimal time to eat or any single meal is more important than the other. I believe in intake/ expenditure. I also workout as mentioned and after reading recent studies no longer believe in an optimal post-workout window. I eat about 3 hours after I've done my weight session and notice no negative effects than an immediate post-workout meal. I can deadlift 2.5 x my body weight and maintain a sub 10% body fat with this method. In summary, do what instinctively matches your body/ lifestyle.

I never skip it. I always have oats & a banana.

I just want to say "wow!!!" GREAT job on the weight loss and healthy living you are doing!

I'm in the same boat. If I don't get my breakfast in then I'm going on a feeding frenzy by the time lunch comes. I have oatmeal pretty much every day. I'll mix it up with different fruits/berries. Today it was a banana and some cinnamon sprinkled on top. I don't add sugar or milk of any sort. Just the oats and fruit. Also, because I'm truly counting calories, I find that sticking with this routine makes it easier to balance out my caloric allowance throughout the remainder of the day without every really feeling hungry.
