    I have to. I am absolutely ravenous the second I wake up. Like, I am so starving that i feel sick. I don't eat anything after dinner at all. I eat the same thing every day - Cheerios, banana, skim milk and a hardboiled egg.

    I happen to feel like that if I ate late/close to bedtime.

    Me too! I've found that if I eat late or close to before I go to bed I wake up super hungry the next day!

    I eat breakfast but not until 4-5 hours after I'm awake. I'm up at 5, at work by 7, and usually have greek yogurt and a hard boiled egg anywhere between 9 am and 10 am.

    Are you an every day breakfast eater? Just some days? Never eat breakfast? I used to never want breakfast but once I hit 40 years old I eat breakfast about 5 days per week.

    That's interesting. I never cared about breakfast until my mid to late 30s and then I increasingly became a morning person and started enjoying breakfast. Now I get up early without an alarm and like a good breakfast. I think I'd be fine skipping it if that became my habit, but I enjoy it.

    I have a cup of coffee when I get up at ~4/430 then a protein shake and a small snack when I get to work. That is the closest thing I have had to a breakfast since I was in the service.

    I have breakfast when I'm hungry. Some days I wake up starving at 5am (those days I ALWAYS go over), some days I sleep longer and will be fine until 8am, some days I'm up at 5am and not hungry until 9... Sometimes I'm not hungry as much as feeling weak and light headed until I eat something (those days are hard too because then I just don't feel like savory food at all, and sweet breakfast always end up more calories).

    I pretty much always end up eating something by 10am though.

    Every morning as soon as I get out of bed I down a 12oz home made meal replacement shake (using water) made out of 2 servings of vanilla flavored brown rice protein, ¼ cup freshly ground up rolled oats, and a teaspoon of freshly ground up flaxseed. I flavor it with Saigon cinnamon. I don't have any appetite in the morning and getting a solid meal down in the AM is hard for me so this is the option that I chose.
    Shake Nutritional profile:
    26g protein
    26g wholegrain carbs (4.5g fiber, 1g sugar)
    3.1g fat (.4 saturated, 1.4 polyunsaturated, 1.2 monounsaturated)
    225 calories

    I always eat breakfast. I don't like breakfast, but I've got to eat it both so I can train and because of low blood sugar. I get up at 3:15 and have breakfast at 4 and am in the gym around 5. If I don't eat, I wipe out during my training session. I'll get dizzy, shaky, and become unable to finish. I'll struggle the rest of the day with energy if I don't have breakfast and then eat regularly all day. It's what works for me. Everybody's body is different.

    During the work week I do since I'm more active. Weekends I just drink coffee and bank calories for a super tasty dinner with a few light calorie snacks to tide me over. There's really no right or wrong with when you eat. I balance between the two fairly easily.

    Almost always. I generally wake up hungry.
    I always have 2 cups of coffee, usually with 30 ml heavy cream or similar, and often two eggs as well, but sometimes I mix things up.

    Almost never. I have a snack before bed so I never wake up hungry. I generally don't eat until 11:30/12:30.

    I never liked the smell of food in morning , only coffee & if I ate I felt like a weight in my stomach all day but since mfp, I make a fruit/veggie smoothie & I can have that. I started that so I won't be starving by lunch. It's good

    Breakfast is my favorite meal (I had eggs and a smoothie for dinner)! I wake up hungry and ready to eat. I think part of it too is I'm traumatized from when I was in elementary school and I threw up at school. I went to the school nurse and she asked if I had eaten any breakfast (this was before lunch) and I said no. She said I should eat breakfast and that should fix why I threw up. Ever since then, I rarely, if at all, skip breakfast.

    I also get cranky if I skip it or wait too long to eat. It screws up my eating the rest of the day, timing and my choices. I just want to grab whatever carb, fat loaded food I can get my hands on. I never realized it until I was wondering why I was craving unhealthy, high calorie foods.

    I never had breakfast but since a couple of weeks I do. Just some bread with meat or eggs.
    And I used to eat white bread but I changed it brown bread.
