[Closed] Who eats breakfast?

i also just stopped eating breakfast. gonna have a short break and then have lunch.

No,
As a reformed smoker. I am trying to learn to eat brekki!

Not me, I eat my marmite on toast while I am still half asleep 😆

I would pass out if I tried to leave the house without eating something.

😆 @spchantler!

I don't regularly, but this and next week I'm in a hotel with a breakfast buffet. Be rude not to.....

I find if I eat breakfast, I'm more peckish through the morning and ravenous by lunch. If I don't I'm not hungry at all until lunch.

Wouldnt make it to work without a coffee and a bit of toast in my stomach. Body would go into spasms of shock , it still thinks im sleeping till i eat.

Not if I'm on a weekend shift as someone will do a sarny run.

@Tomhoward, thats exactly what I am finding. Sat here now, few hours after lunch and I don't even feel hungry. Previously, if I had breakfast I would be eating biscuits at the moment. Interested to see how I cope longer term!

Bowl of porridge, juice and a cup of tea: obligatory start to the day.

Just stopped eating breakfast and feel amazing.

I had previously been eating my weetabix before my hour bike commute.

Eating then riding made me feel ill, so I decided to eat when I got to work, thinking that it would mean that I would't want to eat. It just made me hungrier!

So... It might not be breakfast. Might just be weetabix.

My bestest meal.
Cornflakes, then toast with honey. Every day.

Can't function at all without a strong cup of tea as a bare minimum. Any one of (or combination of)) toast, cheese, cold meat, leftovers, croissant, or whatever else happens to be available is religious too. I just don't get the 'I don't eat breakfast' thing.

Porridge and tea for me, nothing's getting done till I've had breakfast.

These are all things that I thought.

I have my cereal before I go to bed, proper bowl.

Stops me getting up and eating cake during the night, which was a bad habit I had for a while.

Corn flakes, best meal of the day for me, go through 1kg per week

get up, glass of water, ride to work. shower, get changed, do daily server checks then eat beans on toast and have a mug of tea at about 9.30am. i don't feel hungry until lunchtime and even then, all i need is a butty, small banana, small bag of raisins and another brew.
that's been my mon-fri for the past 9 months, and i'm in better shape (physically and mentally) than i have been in years currently.

Monday to Friday I eat a salad sarnie for breakfast at about 8.00am(start work at 6.30) on saturday it's a fat knacker(bacon/sausage/egg) and on sundays we have either a selection of croissant or American style pancakes with banana/yoghurt/maple syrup ect.

Without it I'd probably be a lot slimmer but I love my food and it sets me up for the day ,due my youngest being only 2 lunch gets skipped quite often as I'm too busy running round after him.

I don't do breakfast unless I have to - fuel for a ride / run / walk generally. Can't face food first thing in the morning.

Some days I do, some days I don't. Depends on my mood and if I'm going into the office (and how late I'm running if I am). Usually have porridge and a strong black coffee.

Weetabix, prunes or raspberries, orange juice then a wee latte.... Then my march to the office... 😛

Couple of bananas or some toast for me, otherwise I find by lunch I am totally ravenous and over compensate!

Banana porridge on a feast day. Nothing until the evening on a fast day.

Couple of bananas or some toast for me, otherwise I find by lunch I am totally ravenous and over compensate!

Home made Muesli usually, or fruit n fibre.

But every day without fail.

It's my favourite meal of the day. I wake up earlier so I can take my time over it. 2 x poached eggs on toast with spinach today. Sometimes I even have breakfast for my tea 😀

My mate makes me laugh, he has Sugar Puffs every day without fail but it's method that cracks me up. He sprinkles a layer of sugar on them, eats that layer and then adds another and so on until they're gone. He's got teeth like Austin Powers but he enjoys himself.

Eating 3 meals a day is a relatively new social construct for most of mans more modern history we tended to have one large meal a day.

I don't eat Breakfast or Lunch and just drink water throughout the day and then a larger fully home cooked main meal, if I am riding I will eat some porridge or something in the morning and carb load late the night before (and eat gels, jelly babies during the ride).

People at work have questioned my lack of meals but when you point out that the 2k/2.5k kcal recommended daily intake is for an active lifestyle and we work in an office sitting down all day and drive to work etc we are over consuming at that level, at my work the level of obesity is terrifying (more so with the women who don't tend to have sporty hobbies as a rule)

Like wise when I used to body build I used to eat 4k calories a day and had 7% body fat.

Eat what you need to fuel your body/exercise regiem and maintain a constant healthy bodyweight

Bacon, spam and double egg on two warbys crusts, 4 bensons and a nip of brandy in my coffee, sets me up for the day in the surgery!

As long as there is Lidl luxury fruit and nut muesli in our house, I won't stop eating breakfast.

oh, yes! could not leave home without it (well, not without stopping for a bacon butty en-route to the office...)
boiled egg on granary toast, cappuccino - only way to start the day 🙂
except weekends when bacon is added 🙂

I eat breakfast when I get to work after the commute (35mins). Either a bowl of porridge or a bowl of my girlfriends home made granola.

Lidl luxury

Oxymoron shirley?

Whys that then tom ? Some of aldi ( actually alot) is better than you get in tesco.

I really like their harvest morn cereal its not got near the same amount of sugar in as any sensibly priced crap in tesco.

35 quid for the same shop in aldi over tesco.

Lidls a bit grim though. Foods no where near as good

I have to eat breakfast every day, in fact i'm far more likely to skip lunch if i have a late breakfast.

When I used to start work at 7am I used to cycle 1/2hr to get there then have brekkie about 8.30am.
Now I work in an LBS I don't start until 9am but have discovered porridge at 8am keeps me going until early afternoon. Which is good.
I CANNOT miss breakfast. Not EVER. Can't function without it. 🙂

Lidls a bit grim though. Foods no where near as good

Hence my comment...

I have the metabolism of a field mouse on speed and have to generally eat something substantial every 4 hours or so. I wake religiously between 5, half 5 nauseous and light headed with stomach pains. I get up and cough till i reach, and on a work day will head to the spoon around the corner from me for my staple 2 fried eggs, beans on 3 toast and a mug of tea. Then return home produce a tremendous stool, have a shower, another cuppa and get on the bike to work. On a none working day just shovel as much cereal in as i can eat without vomiting, have an unsatisfactory stool and head out on the bike. Once the food is in my system I'm a new man.

Smell_it perhaps a little too much detail, but thanks for sharing :-s

Smell_it is Sheldon Cooper and I claim my £5.

I just had to Google sheldon cooper 😳

You really need to look past the "grim" and get their luxury fruit and nut muesli,

I thought the Aldi one p155ed on Tesco's until I was persuaded to try thenLidl one.

I'd rather eat no breakfast than 99% of commercial breakfast products.

I do eat brekky, but go for a smoothie or eggs/bacon/sausage/grilled veg effort if I have time. Seem to do alright.

Ride first, eat breakfast later.

Insulin, innit.

I've skipped to the end, so forgive if points made already, but my rule is:

1. Eat Breakfast
2. Don't eat cereals
3. Eat porridge / eggs & w/meal toast (one slice!) / Dorset Muesli (only decent one on market - expensive though, but only works out at 5p a day over conventional crap.)
4. Eat Breakfast

I eat 5 meals a day, but keep it clean & unprocessed 99% of time.

I like food 😀

ut only works out at 5p a day over conventional crap

God, i thought the first hour of my day was arduous, but at least i haven't descended into cereal cost benefit analysis. I'd also rather polish a tramps cock, than eat any type of muesli, it's one of the devils foods.

Don't eat cereals but do eat porridge, muesli and toast?!

It's an issue I have working out how Supermarkets * you over on a daily basis & the quick-calc skill becomes quite useful.

...and don't get me started on Tuna. Did you realise this...? you know when you buy your "on offer" tuna, you know, "usually £24 but now only £3/£4 for 3 tins"...?

The sly ***** (I'm calling out John West & Princess here for undertaking the bidding no doubt of the supermarkets) have introduced tins that are only 112g drained weight, instead of the usual 130g drained weight, but packaged in totally the same way.

I have gone pole & line only now, just to stick my 2 monkey fingers up to them, and at the rate I get through tuna, I expect some profit warnings to follow shortly.

...but yes, breakfast is good.

@hmanchester- they grow in boxes don't-you-know

large protein breakfast everyday here.
egg based with fish, or beans, or mushrooms or lean meat.

I'd also rather polish a tramps cock, than eat any type of muesli, it's one of the devils foods.

You haven't tried Dorset! Seriously. Try the toasted flakes, simply nutty or original (rest are a bit poncey and expensive).

It's not like museli. It's nice!

😀 @ bearnecessities.

Thanks Dave, I knew I was getting something massively obvious wrong

http://www.dorsetcereals.co.uk/things-we-make/muesli/

I'll drop it now, but try them!

Right, i'm off to have my evening breakfast.

A touch of muesli and scoop of porridge oats, 3 weatabix, raisins, 3 dates and some branflakes. mmm

+1 for dorset muesli. I have it a few times a week. Steer well clear of their porridge though. Tried the sampler that came in the muesli - rancid stuff!!

Unless I'm going out for ride, a slice of toast with peanut butter (100% peanut organic stuff, not supermarket stuff) & strawberry jam accompanied with a brew is it for me!

I don't eat breakfast either. It makes sense too me.. Why eat early in the morning and then get hungry through the day when you can last until lunch/dinner perfectly fine.

I think the last time I ate breakfast was around Christmas!

I teach outdoor ed and work outside all day, 5 days a week, up hills, down rivers and gorges etc. Plus 3 or 4 good road or MTB rides a week, plus dog walking, plus (ahem) "home life". If I don't eat a massive bowl of porridge every morning, followed by at least 2 other meals of good quality carbs protein and veg then I am well and truly knackered.

I used to survive on cereal like wheatabix every morning but was always hungry by 10.30am. I switched to porridge and never looked back. Eating a normal meal of decent food also raises your metabolism and helps to keep weight down. I spent a lot of the last year sat on my shiny arse with two broken arms (5operations over the year) and kept up eating more or less the same, just ditched alcohol and 80% of the sweet stuff and only put on about half a stone.

Breakfast is good for you

I generally hate breakfast but always make myself force something down. Almost always porridge and bannanas, cheerios or toast.

It's never enjoyable though, I mean how much fun can it be eating food at 7am knowing you've got a whole day of work ahead of you?

Always ate it though as constantly told it's the 'most important meal of the day'...happy to skip it if it's considered healthy/OK to do this?

Why eat early in the morning and then get hungry through the day when you can last until lunch/dinner perfectly fine.

Metabolism. Either you're under 25, one of those irritating people that has a metabolism that won't quit, or fat.

I've never really bothered with it until the last 4 or 5 years when I started eating it to be healthy.. Have slowly realised that it was making me feel like crap, so I've stopped again..

feeling fitter, happier and less hungry as result

+1 for dorset muesli. I have it a few times a week. Steer well clear of their porridge though. Tried the sampler that came in the muesli - rancid stuff!!

Oh god yes! I had the raspberry porridge sampler yesterday - it was absolutely hideous!

I'm 19 😀

But I think my Metabolism is high anyway..

[i]+1 for dorset muesli.[/i]

We've got 3/4 of a box in the cupboard thats been there for 6 months, maybe more. What does that tell you?

It's still shredded cardboard. That's what.

Can't function without breakfast:
Porridge
Egg: Boiled, poached, or omelette in a wrap
Fruit
Tea

Then a commute and a lungo or espresso when I get to work.

EDIT: my tip for porridge is to stir in some apple sauce. Baby food, Colemans or a large jar of Appelmuis. It's all the same.

I suppose it depends on your schedule.
I finish work early in the morning, when I usually go for a run before breakfast.
Breakfast after morning commute/run = win.

That tell me you don't like things that taste awesome!! 😛

then a wee latte

Don't think it'll catch on. I prefer a coffee latte myself.

No 2, contradicts No 3. Which is contradicted by

What are porridge oats if not unprocessed ? and do we assume you are toasting bread ?, is that not processed too ?

No breakfast for me. I rided nearly seventy miles last weekend. I started without breakfast and didn't eat until I had been cycling for over two hours and I only had water to drink.
