Do you bother with Breakfast?

thecleverone

It just dawned on my that i'm the only one in this house who ever eats breakfast. And come to think of it, quite a few of my friends don't eat breakfast either. They usually wait until 11 or so in the morning and then just grab something to nibble on.

Do you bother with breakfast and if so, what would you normally have?

Typical breakfast for me would be a bowl of Special K Sustain and a cupán tae.

Usually up at 7:30 and have breakfast in work at 9...

Rarely....sometimes I'll grab an apple on my way out the door but usually I wait until my first break.

I have never understood people who don't have breakfast in the morning. It's one thing going into work and eating something directly or eating something along the way but not eating till 11 or lunch time is utterly incomprehensible.

Personally I have cereal/porridge, two slices of toast (usually brown) and a mug a tae.

Cannot function without breakfast, I would tend to eat a lot more over the day and feel tired/lacking energy/hungry. And I'm not a morning person, in fact I hate getting up early put I've been eating a similar brekkie since I was about 8 years old I'd say. When I used to go to secondary school I'd always throw a boiled egg ontop of that because I'd have to go an extra hour and a half/2 hours without food.

see I just couldn't do all that, cause I would be dying for a pee well before I got into work with 2 pintts of water.

For me as I am in a rush first thing in the morning it is a protein shake with a couple of pieces of fruit, then when I get into work it is scrambled eggs with 3 full eggs (probably some eggs whites aswell) with some milk

Thats Ok aswell, at least you are getting your nutrition in.

H.O.T.A.S.

I chose a healthy routine of cigarettes and coffee in the morning. Ah breakfast of champions

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Your body has not been fed for approx 8 hours, so even if your not hungry its crying out for food, especially if your training, getting any sort of exercise or yes even trying to loose weight.

Moi
Flavans oat flakes with milk
100g cottage cheese (high in protein low in fat)
Glass of Water

or

Flavans porridge with milk and honey
two scrambled eggs
water

Three - four proper meals a day cuts out the temptation for eating rubbish. Its been said before but here goes again

You are what you eat.

sounds sorta nice...

I've been meaning to get some suggestions actually. I think part of the reason why I dont eat breakfast is because I dont know of any interesting meals to have. It's all toast, cereal, weetabix, scrambled eggs......

I have no trouble eating breakfast on the weekend, cos there's usually left over pizza or fry

Porridge all the way, my man!! And tea of course. Couldn't function without tea in the morning.

I can't understand people who don't eat breakfast, I'm always starrrrving when I get up, no matter what time it is.

Yup, I'd believe that.
If you don't brekkie, your depriving your body of it's most important meal / energy source for the day ahead.
Anything you put in after that, your body will try to conserve as fat as 'backup'.
If you eat well and regularly, you can actually lose weight!

I've been forcing Flahavan's Quick Oats porridge into me for the last month. Don't really be hungry then till 11ish, I could make it to lunch but I have a bag of popcorn to tide me over.

MoominPapa

I usually have porridge, oj and two cups of coffee first thing and then something else when I get to work, this morning potted herring on toast yum! Then a tracker bar or some such with tea at 11ish, all interspersed with fruit snacks until lunch.
Wait a minute:
First breakfast!
Second breakfast!!
Elevenses!!!
Snacks!!!!
I'm not a Moomin, I'm a frekin Hobbit:eek:

Breakfast.... Irun out of the house (late as usual), stop at a garage for a coffee and chocolate. Hardly ideal

cournioni

I didn't bother with breakfast at all up until I was told my one of my football coaches that I had to lose some weight as ironic as that sounds. It is true what they say though, breakfast is the most important meal of the day and I have a bowl of Special K or Weetabix every day now. I lost 2 and a half stone since the 1st of February and am feeling great!

s_carnage

I went through a phase of not eating until lunch at 1. I've started just having the bowl f cereal in the morning now and it makes a big difference. I've got way more energy and feel more awake in the mornings.

chakotha

Got to have coffee and cereal - only takes 2 mins if in a rush.

Leaving the house with an empty stomach sounds miserable now - though I used to do it all the time!

Saint_Mel

I'm not much of a breakfast person during the week. Usually up at 7am
so its hard to stomach anything at that hour. Usually just have some OJ
and then a cereal bar or something at 9am and then some fruit at 10am.

Weekends are a different story altogether. Even though Im up around 8am
most Saturdays, I could, and often do, murder a fry up

Aseth

I'm too hungry in the mornings not to have breakfast so usually it's a chocolate croissant and coffee/smoothie :cool:

watna

I'm just not hungry in the morning and I'd always rather have the extra time in bed. I do eat a bowl of cereal in work at about 9.30 though /me goes off to get cereal

whiskeyman

The most important meal of the day!!
Tea, toast and OJ before I leave for work, then a big (I mean big) bowl of museli when I get in around a half hour later.
If I didn't have brekkie, I'd be in a slump by around 10am and as good as asleep.

kev_s88

normally i'll have a cup of coffee and some cereal. sometimes if i have the time i'll thow in a couple of slices of toast and a glass of OJ.if i dont have time before i leave i normally stop in Spar or Centra and get a few jambons to keep me going til lunch

GhostInTheRuins

I never eat breakfast, probably couldn't if it tried, I just can't eat loads of stuff in the mornings

Gazza22

I tend not to eat breakfast, i've been like this for years now. Main reason is that i'd rather have those few extra minutes in bed than use them preparing breakfast!

bill_ashmount

I never have breakfast

Dave!

Im rarely hungry first thing in the morning. I sometimes force down some toast, but usually dont bother. I get a cup of tea and Mars in college, or else just hang on til 12ish and get a roll/lunch.

connundrum

Last Friday I didn't eat till 7pm, having been up since 8am

More often than not I'll simply forget that eating is quite important. 4 days out of 5 I'll not eat till 1pm or there abouts.

rainbowtrout

yep, i make a point of having breakfast now, no matter what, i used to skip it and ended up eating junk food on the way to work and put on a lot of weight as a result, so i'm on the special k now and it's made a big difference

Rabies

I'm usually up by 10:30-11:30am. Sometimes I have food around 1pm and start work at 2-3pm. I will have something eat again between 9pm and midnight.
