i hope this is true, since i hardly ever have breakfast, unless coffee is considered breakfast.

I always eat breakfast. If I don't, I find I don't have much energy in the morning. I thought the whole deal with the eating breakfast thing was that it gets the metabolism going? Works for me.

I used to skip breakfast for an additional half-hour of sleep

THis is good to know -- thanks for hte article. I have been trying to tell my friend this and he thinks it is BS but now I have an article to send him.

same for me

i find that i have much more energy by claiming that extra sleep.
as far as skipping meals, if im really hungry i eat. if not, i dont.
i dont believe we have to follow a set eating schedual.

but then again everyone's body is different. some people only feel healthy
with like 5 scattered meals throughout the day

It's important. That being said I rarely eat breakfast, generally my caffeine fix starts my day.

Same for me, either cause Im just not hungry or I dont have time. I dont want to eat breakfast for the sake of eating breakfast.


But it depends on your lifestyle I believe, at the moment Im doing just fine without breakfast...Ill eat a bigger lunch, or eat earlier if I get hungry. However in the next few months Ill be starting weight/fitness training, and I was talking to a mate who knows all the diet/workout side of it and he tells me Ill need to starting increasing breakfast intake to burn while training otherwise I wont have the energy, so it'll change for me.

Your own choice to eat breakfast srug

I have to eat breakfast, else I'll start getting faint around third period.

....been scientifically proven that MOST thin people eat a breakfast every morning.

I always have a slimfast and a yogurt. That probably does not count as a good breakfast.

I miss waking up at 1PM, rolling out of bed and onto a 12-pack of beer.

Those were the days.

The question is: empty or full ones?

Either response is bad.

I never eat breakfast.

Me too, that and I'm very rarely hungry before early afternoon.

If I do eat before 2pm, it's usually me drinking a coffee and picking apart a bagel or something while in class.

damn, that sounds painful

Part of the preimse behind eating the break-fast is that it encourages more even distrubtion of calories in the day. (from a nutritional standpoint I mean.)

Eating breakfast can help with afternoon binge eating, and low energy in the morning.

Also I was going to add if you're going to skip a meal go for dinner its when most people over eat anyway as opposed to breakfast.

I always eat breakfast.

Skipping it messes with your blood sugar.

I have no schedule, normally I take lunch as breakfast after I wake up some time around 10am-12pm. And what I have for lunch can also fit into the category of breakfast.

it is good to keep a maintained eating schedule, that way your body knows what to do with what you take in so it doesn't freak out about whether it should completely digest something or transfer it to fat

I'd die before afternoon without breakfast... I can't take a single step after 10 on a normal day if I didn't have anything to eat.

Rarely have eaten breakfast. The thought of food in the morning makes me feel .

Succumbing to hunger demonstrates weakness of character. I haven't eaten in over a year.

I'm kinda all over the place here, sometimes I'll make a huge breakfast for myself when I wake up (generally around noon or 1pm), eggs, bacon, a waffle, big glass of milk and OJ, or sometimes I'll just have a little bowl of cerial or sometimes nothing at all.

I do find that when I don't eat something when I wake up, I'm more hungry later on or crave a late night snack, which isn't a good thing. Or I end up stuffing my face at dinner, which also isn't good.

I think its probably possible for most people to adjust to not eating breakfast, but personally if I go without Im starving 2 hours before lunch period.

It kickstarts your metabolism, so if you're trying to lose weight, eating a breakfast is important.

Hmm, I think my first meal ever was lunch....and I haven't stopped eating since..so I guess, no, I don't eat breakfast.

I had read somewhere that the reason it is called Breakfast is because it is Breaking your fast. Lumanix is right your metabolism increases when you eat but you can't be a pig about it . velho

the key to that is control. it takes something like 20 minutes for your brain to recognise that your stomach is full enough, so the more hungry you feel prior to eating, the more youll schoff. if you eat a normal portion regardless, and wait a bit, your hunger will be gone.

I think we should all post what we've eaten for breakfast every morning. You know, keep this thread on the main page for years to come.

I had a 6-pack of those orange cheese crackers. People in the South call them Nabs, but I've always called them crackers.

im having coffee. sometimes ill have a chocolate chip cookie with that coffee, but not today.

Oh, coffee's a given. PVS, you'll appreciate this: My coffee mug at work says "Moo Jersey" and has a stoned-looking cow on it.

mine says "i dont get no respect", double negative included....making it false......because i get no respect

I had Frosted Flakes..which we in Germany call "Frosties"...which is convenient cause it saves me the time of saying "Flakes" ...and "ed" ...but I have to say "ies" so that is not that convenient...they taste good. I like trees.

Yeah for breakfast it was Carolina BBQ, smoked pulled pig shoulder on an onion roll, awesome breakfast.

that slogan is so imbedded in my subconscious that i actually heard tony the tiger saying that as i read it. the power of conditioning via repetition through television

The slogan in Germany was for quite some time "They wake the tiger in you" .... weird...but damn they had a funny commercial, it involved some good goal keeper...football commercials are fun...you had that too? Huh? HUH?

That sounds more like an ad for an aphrodesiac.

Germans seem to like tigers....an Exxon (which we still call Esso) commercial was called "Put the Tiger in the tank" .... good thing we don't have PETA ..animal cruelty and all.
