Do You Eat Breakfast?

[lightxmyfire]

I always have breakfast I can’t function with out it. Similar to @jaytex969 during the week it’s usually cereal or oatmeal sometimes a couple pieces of bacon, or toast. I can’t do coffee very often because I’m very caffeine sensitive which is a shame because I love good coffee and especially espresso. I’ll have some tea here and there. On the weekend my wife and I will go all out with pancakes, waffles or omelets, occasionally chilaquiles.

My wife is the opposite, she won’t eat until lunch, but she HAS to have coffee, she usually does at least one pour over, sometimes a whole Chemex. On the weekends if we’re feeling special and I feel like having some coffee too, we’ll bust out a 1949 GE vacuum pot, which makes wonderful coffee and looks wild while you’re making it.

Breakfast is one of my favourite meals. Almost never eat it, sometimes for supper.

Up at 6am each day with a donut and coffee. I usually eat a traditional breakfast between 9am and 10am.

Yup, sometimes a full Irish, sometimes only toast/biscotti and coffee but, I always "kick start" my body with some carbs.

 

[Spa32]

Yes. Cereal just about every morning. Sometimes I mix it up with a random food if I don't feel like the norm. I work 3rd shift, so a light breakfast because my dinner is at 3 am.

Being a morning lark (as opposed to a night owl), yes, I eat breakfast most times.

 

[ukbob]

Always start the day with a bowl of porridge or muesli and 2 cups of tea, that’s sets me up till lunchtime.

 

[judcole]

Yup. These days that means my home-made bran muffins, and fruit.

Diet theories will tell you anything if you listen long enough. However, one theory that may be true for some people is that breakfast is a good time to eat fats and higher calorie items, since you are just getting started and will burn them off better than you will later in the day. Then taper off from there.

I eat breakfast daily. Not always three eggs and bacon but I always eat something and have at least two cups of coffee

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

My favorite meal of the day. It's always followed by a large cup of good coffee and a bowl of sweet Virginia flake.

I Rarely eat breakfast. Just not hungry that early. Always drink coffee first thing in the morning, and constantly throughout the day. I love eating breakfast foods for dinner though.

 

[agnosticpipe]

Of course, doesn't everyone?

 

[anotherbob]

no

 

[agnosticpipe]

Bob!.... outside of a pipe, it's the most important meal of the day! But then again, I'm retired so I have nothing to do for the rest of the day anyway.

 

[hobie1dog]

A simple unnutritional Doughnut , sometimes coffee. I do like going out to get a big breakfast but living on SS doesn't allow that very often.

Especially after age 60 or so, it's good to eat more regularly, smaller meals. This heads off any problems you may have with blood glucose. I have never been a snacker, and I had to teach myself to eat more regularly. Can you imagine coercing yourself to snack? In boot camp, recruits were punished for hoarding snack food in their pockets. I couldn't think why I'd want to; it even struck me odd, about myself, at the time, since others were having to exercise discipline not to do this. Luckily, later in life, a good primary care doc and a dietician put me on the better road before I had to be medicated much. You may not be a breakfast person, but eating something in the morning may be smart.

I wish. I’m up for work every morning at 5am and usually make a coffee to go with a donut or pastry as I’m walking out the door. Weekends? I’m a big fan of brunch!

 

[Chasing Embers]

Six over easy eggs, bread and 2-3 cups of coffee.

Two cappuccino to start, then about a half hour later, one English muffin with peanut butter and butter, the other with butter and Jam. Bacon if it's around. Sometimes fruit, yoghurt and granola. Sometimes-rarely- eggs, scrambled.
