Yeah blah blah blah breakfast is the most important meal of the day, I am just not hungry in the mornings. So I figure intead of forcing myself to eat breakfast when i am not hungry why not use those calories later in the day when I am more interested in eating.

Anyone else skip breakfast?

    I totally agree with you. If I do force myself to eat in the morning then I am hungry all day too. It just seems to work better for me with no breakfast.

    If I'm not hungry in the morning, I will either have a small bowl (40g) of oats with hot water or 1 or 2 hard boiled eggs. I can't completely skip breakfast or my belly rumbles!! I think it's important for your blood sugar to at least get something in your belly.

    I have a shake. I don't have time to sit down and really enjoy a decent breakfast.

    I'm not a breakfast person but I force a little something down because it's hard to get something decent once I'm out at work. I agree though, I don't think it matters when you eat your calories so long as you eat them at some point.

    I tend not to have time for breakfast, and one of the dangers of my job is overeating early in the day... so I skip breakfast, and save my calories for late night when I get the urge to graze. I've been losing pretty steadily for the past two months, so I'm going to keep it up until I it stops working.

    I don't eat breakfast. You don't need breakfast at all. I fast for 16 hours and eat for 8 hours. I haven't had any problems.

    i hardly ever had breakfast for years as i never felt hungry or was nauseous in the mornings...but by morning tea time i'd be ready for something...it never affected my weight or energy levels!!
    now days i mostly have something for breakfast but it's usually a fruit muffin or banana or tomato on toast...depends on what time i wake up and had for dinner night before...or if i'm about to exercise.
    dont seem to notice much difference whether i miss breakfast or not...

    I don't eat breakfast as a rule.
    Don't miss it either....I do eat . stop . eat and it's works well for me.
    I think it just used to be a habit when I was addicted to sugar and carbs in a box!
    I have a bbq brunch on weekends with my hubby . It's more of a social ritual than anything else.....we finish of our bacon & eggs etc then read the newspapers over a coffee...
    How exciting are we??

    Know what u mean, I start work early so have no desire to eat at that time of the morning.
    Instead I opt for a protein shake (plus pasteurized egg whites) to provide my body with the protein it desires after a nights recovery and to bump start my metabolism, am working on the theory, eat 6 times a day small rather than 3 or 4 large meals.
    Also, no food after 6 pm, unless its a post exercise protein shake.
    Each to their own, if it works do it, if not change it,, or your insane.....
