    I usually make my kids food early (7am) when they wake up and I eat more like 10am when they have a morning snack :) It's always some sort of fruit we have and I have toast or something similar with it.

    I don't have this issue, because I love all breakfast food. But, if you're not hungry, maybe push breakfast off until later?

    This. I'm not hungry when I first wake up, so I budget time into my morning routine, so I arrive to work about fifteen minutes earlier so I can peacefully eat something. I'm not a fan of "breakfast" stuff, so I just go with a sandwhich or something else healthy.

    I know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day...

    Says who? On what authority and what data? I'm sure that Kellogs and General Mills think so and they have a vested interest in seeing that you think so also.

    What did out paleolithic ancestors do for breakfast? Did they just pull something out from under a rock that they had stored there from the night before. Yesterdays hunt would probably not be to safe to eat unless it was winter in a northern clime. Fruit isn't always in season and before modern agriculture and hybrid species fruits tended to be small, hard and not that yummy (think crabapples vs Red Delicious )

    Just saying that the people who brought us the food pyramid and the "whole grains" mantra and a much fatter nation are mostly the same people pushing breakfast.

    My first question for you is what time do you consider breakfast? You have to look at your day and see what fits for your lifestyle. I did find a yogurt that I love which is big for me. It is yo crunch with fruit and granola. It is 230 calories which is higher than many but since it is greek yogurt it has lots of protein. It is high in sugar but if you want the other sugar you eat, it will work.

    Try reading this...

    Tells me, it's not "broscience" but fact...

    Also, if you don't like "Breakfast" food, eat a non-breakfast food like a sandwich, last nights left overs, some soup. No one said you HAVE to eat something like eggs or oatmeal for breakfast... :smile:

    After a while, you will get used to it and you will WANT breakfast. :wink:

    The reasons listed in that article have to do with the behavioral effects of eating breakfast, not any supposed metabolism boosting effect of breakfast.

    Thank you Sidesteal.

    And yes, search these forums. There is plenty of posts that include quite a few links to actual scientific studies that show little to no metabolism boosting effects.

    I am exactly the same! However, breakfast is supposed to be your biggest meal...I have noticed that when i do make myself eat a good breakfast, I am fuller alot longer and do not snakc barely at all throughout the day. I just make myself, you dont have to eat it all at once, I just eat it as im working. Try it out!

    For me, it's the exact opposite of this. If I force myself to eat first thing in the morning, I tend to eat more throughout the day and feel hungrier than if I had waited until later. Tried greek yogurt for the first time and I can't say that I like it much. I know it's higher protein but seems too thick and has a strange texture. :P

    I used to have that problem. I had to force myself to eat breakfast, but now I find that eating a good breakfast actually DOES make the rest of my day better! And who says you have to have "breakfast food" for breakfast? ;)

    I don't dislike 'breakfast food', I dislike the timing of when I'm 'supposed' to be eating it. I think if you're one of those people that loves to eat first thing in the morning, you should. If you're one of those people who doesn't like to do it, you shouldn't. I function perfectly with nothing until 3pm at the very earliest. I don't eat after 8pm either. Between 3pm and 8pm it's 'party time' but within my macros. :bigsmile:

    As of now, I have lots of water and some coffee in the morning. I am not going to eat unless I'm hungry. Its just bad for my stomach. I dont want to feel sick all the time and I"m getting plenty of calories and protein so I'm good.
