Who here skips breakfast?

[physichull]

Who on here skips what is commonly referred to as the most important meal of the day? I suspect a large proportion of this nation skips breakfast to clinch that extra few minutes in bed before work but....

I have been deliberating over this recently at work and I will be the first here to admit that I regularly miss breakfast and pick up a Tracker Bar when I get into work.

Recently though, I have gone on a bit of a health charge and have decided to re-introduce the forgotten meal to my diet. I have found that I do feel healthier because of it and actually have a much greater appetite when it comes to lunchtime than skipping breakfast and picking up a "quick n easy" snack.

I will never skip breakfast. But if i wake up later than mid-day. i class lunch as breakfast

 

[greywolf]

By the time I get up its lunchtime anyway.

 

[JHeaton]

I do, have done so for years now, and I can say that I really feel the effects

Getting better, though. Started eating it at least once a week lately, and on those days I feel better. It's mostly a time thing, though. I don't really want to get up any earlier than I already do >.<

I have a tasty bowl of Alpen as soon as I wake up. I'm addicted to the stuff.

Yeah definately. It's a poor excuse and indeed its often the only excuse I have. For the sake of an extra 10 minutes in the morning, I really think its worth it. Definately feel healthier because of it.

Alpen (fruity version) with natural yoghurt and banana, nothing better.

Never have, never will skip breakfast.

Not gonna build any muscle that way

 

[Cosimo]

Never, even if it's midday.

 

[Dinomania]

I skip it. I'm never really hungry on waking up, and indeed prefer the extra half-hour in bed...

Just because people who skip breakfast also have these adverse health behaviours, it doesn't mean that one leads to the other.

Indeed. The article suggests all kinds of things about breakfast-skippers, none of which I am, or do. Causality fail

I will almost always have breakfast, the day just doesn't start off right without that meal to kickstart you. Even if I'm not feeling 100% I'll have at least some fruit and yoghurt.

I rarely eat breakfast first thing because it makes me feel sick for most of the day. If it's a full English I'm fine, but anything sweet like cereal, fruit, yoghurt, porridge etc makes me feel bloated.

I've had to start though. I'm having to cycle for a part of my commute and I can't do the distance with no fuel to keep me going. I'm eating a tiny amount of cereal then start laying into my lunch at about 9:30-10am at work

Hopefully it'll get easier

If i don't have my porridge and scrambled eggs, I have a rubbish day and am not alert enough, tired and get hungry easily. Those few minutes save my day!

 

[apatia77]

No way I am missing breakfast.

 

[Guerrilla]

Love breakfast, most of the best foods are breakfast foods

Plus it makes me feel hungrier when dinner (lunch for the pedants) comes around.

I never have breakfast before work. I roll out of bed, get ready as quickly as humanly possible and get to work with a minute or two spare

How far's the ride? I could ride 8 miles to work on no breakfast, through centre of town and up a long slow hill.

I still would be doing it had some gitface not knocked me off the bike a couple of months ago, but that's more laziness and another story...

...when dinner (lunch for the pedants) comes around.

Heh! That old arguement!

 

[LeJosh]

Real men have brinner.

It takes me an hour to wake up, wash, dress and leave the house anyway. I can't be doing with the time to eat breakfast as well. Plus, who is hungry first thing in the morning?
