My question is about breakfast. lol

Do you eat breakfast in the morning? What do you eat? If you don't eat breakfast, why not?

I typically eat a light breakfast. "Everything bagel" and cream cheese. Sometimes I will have french toast sticks and syrup. I love the days when I get a breakfast from work. I usually get one of their fresh made breakfast burritos. Eggs, hash browns, cheese, bacon and gravy. All wrapped up in a heated tortilla! Yummy! Some people have them put salsa on them but I don't like their salsa.

Trapped in the catroom! ;o)
My breakfast is my lunch...I cant eat really early in the mornings or Ill get sick to my stomach. Currently my addictions are Special K Blueberry cereal..I love that stuff I just wish I could find it in bigger boxes, its 4 bucks for a small box and that doesnt last a week if I eat it everyday.

I also started munching on those fake cheese bread stix dippy thingermabobbers. I got a couple packs from the dollar store and I cant stay away from them. Ive only got 5 left and Im sure that they will be gone today.

Looks like I'm on the same page as AJ-I want to eat breakfast but nothing seems good that early in the morning...So I end up eating chocolate or something else that's bad for me, because it's the only thing I feel like eating
Lately I haven't had breakfast at all, just energy drinks or soda ..

I always eat breakfast. During the week it's usually whole wheat toast or whole wheat waffles with light jam & margerine and a yogurt cup. On the weekend we treat ourselves with Tim Hortons coffees and I get a 12 Grain bagle, toasted with butter & light cream cheese.

Usually no, I have be to awake a couple hours to have an appetite - and typically by that time I'm too busying doing something else to eat.

Skipping breakfast goes back to HS when my gallbladder started really bothering me and anything I ate in the morning was likely to come back up or just cause pain for the next 4-6 hours. My GI is only somewhat better and eating early can still be a disaster.

I never have time to eat breakfast during the week. Once I'm at work, I'll make a cup of coffee, then around 10 or so, I'll eat a Granny Smith apple. And that's it until lunch time, when I eat a 1/2 cup serving of fruit. And that's all I eat during the day at work.

If we're out shopping on the weekend, DH and I like to stop at a restaurant for breakfast, but even that's rare anymore. Sometimes I'll make breakfast in bed for DH, usually for our anniversary and for his birthday. And sometimes during the year, just because I like to spoil him. I will make French toast, brown some sausages, roasted potatoes, and a warm fruit compote, with orange juice. And we'll enjoy our breakfast in bed.

I am like a few of you who can't stand looking at food in the morning. I usually get up late morning anyway so I won't eat breakfast until close to noon or later. The only thing I can get down is coffee, always coffee no matter what time it is.

If I do eat breakfast later in the day, it is maybe a waffle, or toast. Sometimes I do skip breakfast altogether and just wait till much later and have a lunch/dinner. I have gone many times and still do without food till around 4pm. I just don't feel hungry some days.

I pretty much always eat breakfast. I get on kick's, sometimes it is cereal, sometimes homemade waffles (can be frozen for later) and OJ, sometimes fruit only, sometimes an egg and veggie omelet, and other things. Right now my current kick is natural peanut butter and raisins with an apple along with hot plain tea.

Breakfast every morning is usually a smoothie, any fruit available mixed with yogurt (plain).

I have coffee with milk for breakfast. I used to eat a big breakfast but for the last year I have been on the "stress & grief diet" and have zero appetite. Sometimes I choke down a piece of toast or banana mid-morning. I usually forget to eat lunch. I do not recommend this diet, btw.

Since I have to have my coffee first thing, I have to eat something to avoid "acid-belly". I usually eat a Little Debbie peanut butter bar, occasionally a poptart.

We have a thing about breakfast in this house, it is by far the most special meal of the day. Whether it's 4 or 5am or later, no one is allowed to skip it. Why? If you skip a home meal, you're going to be buying something e.g., at work, and it likely is made with high fructcose, hydrogenated oils, and who knows what else. Once in a while that won't hurt, but as a habit, it will.

Kitties: Always get something warm and home cooked, even if it is just 1 shrimp, some fresh cooked fish, or piece of turkey or chicken. The kitty pot is the first to be put on the stove, the human's kettle is #2, the coffee pot is #3. So even if they have to eat all other meals alone, this one sets their day right.

Humans: Always provided with a warm meal, once a week eggs, or buttermilk pancakes with fruit, or home made biscuits, or home made bread (often soda breads or yeast bread). Rarely do we eat storebought breads.

Sometimes we travel for work (no airplanes involved) and pack out our meals for up to 4 days ahead at a time. All meals, including breakfast.

I have two cups of coffee befoe I think about food. Usually I eat Total cereal with fruit chopped in it, with some cranberry juice. Some days we have whole wheat toast with light margarine and apricot preserves.
Once in a while we do bacon and eggs.

I usually eat cereal with fruit or Greek yogurt with fruit. Cereal depends on the temperature. I also will cook eggs for breakfast or maybe have bagels and schmear/lox for breakfast weekend. Then there are those darn pills I have to take...

always coffee.

And on most days its a heart healthy serving of oatmeal with some agave nectar, walnuts, and fresh berries (or apples and cinnamon in the colder months)

About once a week (on my day off usually) I will have eggs...either scrambled with sundried tomatoes and mushrooms or a broccoli omelet OR if my Hubby is cooking a breakfast burrito.

I'm not a huge breakfast eater. I never understood how people could have a huge breakfast with sausages, pancakes, waffles, hash browns, bacon, eggs, etc. I'd be stuffed for the whole day!! I generally eat something like vanilla yogurt, whole wheat toast with peanut butter or a banana.

I love breakfast, it's my fave meal of the day. I never want to eat dinner. I'll eat whatever is around for breakfast. Lately I've been buying granola from Stop and Shop and that's good with milk. Also discovered a yummy thing from Dunkin' Donuts - bagel twists. So good with coffee and a nice change from bagels.
