eating breakfast?

I am not a morning person. I'm rarely hungry when I first get up and on work days I sleep as late as possible without actually being late to work. I have a glass of soy milk and that often keeps me going until lunch. If I get hungry before lunch, I have a snack. Usually a low sodium V8, piece of fruit, or maybe a granola bar. I have always eaten more in the evenings than in the mornings, which seems to make sense since I sit at a desk all day and I'm busy in the evenings (exercise, housework, etc.)

I eat a Special K bar when I get to work. I'm not hungry until then. It holds me over until I have fruit as a snack later in the morning.

My breakfast varies, so that I don't get bored. I eat between 8:30 and 9:00 when I get to work.
I always have a yogurt. Low fat, no sugar added.
Then I will have 100% whole grain quaker oatmeal. I just bring a packet or two to work and make it here.
And mid morning I will have an apple.

Or, I will have scrambled eggs or egg whites and a yogurt and then apple mid-morning.
If I'm in a hurry in the morning, I grab a couple eggs and bring them to work. I will mix them in a bowl and pop them in the microwave at work to scramble them.

One of the very few things I have changed in my diet is that I now eat breakfast. I have a package of Quaker oats oatmeal. I cant say I am in love with it but it is growing on me, and gives me what I need to get through the morning without going to the store and buying a bag of something for an energy boost.

i have a microwaveable soup mug that I put in 1/2 cup egg whites, and then some veg.. either sweet peppers or asparagus. Then i microwave when i get to work and eat while i'm sorting through emails. Makes a great eggwhite omelette in a mug... that and a LIberte Greek 0% yogurt.

Hum, I have my breakfast around lunchtime usually! And it's something meaty mmm

that sounds like lunch...

Wellll then I guess I dont eat breakfast

I don't want to preach (but I'm going to )

EAT BREAKFAST!!! you're starving yourself of nutrients

I do eventually get it all in, just later in the day

do a little research on the topic 'why breakfast is so important,' on google or the like. you will see about 10,000 medically founded articles on it.
it's not that you don't get the calories, it's WHEN you get the calories in the case of breakfast. it supplies energy that has been lost because of the lapse between your last meal (hence the term 'break fast,' you're breaking the fast)

anyway, maybe you'll take the advice, maybe you won't.

Turkey Bacon is alright...but lets get some whole grains in there.

I have fruit salad and a coffee first thing.
Around 10am I'll have a bowl of porridge with banana OR Bran Flakes.

I have pondered this question.. I love breakfast as I wake up hungry..BUT I have noticed if I wait until later to eat I personally don't get as hungry all day. I really think it has to do with your sleep patterns and habits.What if you worked third shift or have a sleeping disorder..they try to put you into a pattern that is normal but we all aren't normal. I have to know later in the day I will eat, so My much cherished big breakfast routine when I am on a diet has to slow down or I add too many calories through the day. Drinking water first thing gets the ole' organs functioning and while on a diet, I say listen to your body, it will tell you when its time to eat you just have to not gorge it all at once because you skipped a meal. I understand people that are proned to gain weight have to eat or their body goes into starvation mode and hordes fat.. makes sense but its hard to eat when you are not hungry..perhaps just a piece of rice toast or something small just to say you did it no matter what the time of day,
