No, but I always have dinner for breakfast! My favorite? Enchilladas and Pizza! No better way to start the day! I never have understood why it is frowned on to eat "non standard" breakfast foods! What's wrong wtih enchilladas for breakfast? Corn tortillas instead of pancakes or biscuits for the bread part. Cheese is for calcium and hte milk/dairy part and the enchillada sause is made with tomatoes and peppers and such - great all around vegetables. So what's the big deal? even throw on some salsa and you get more veges! make with a meat filling and you got beef or chicken instead of sausage or ham. How can you go wrong!!!!I'd even say it would be beter to eat the pancakes and such at dinner time - before bedtime - probably easier for your stomach to digest the softer stuff than all the heartier stuff while you sleep! ANd they say you gain weight if you eat and then go to sleep as your body isn't moving enough to use the calories while you sleep - which has more calories - panckas nad sausage or enchilladas? i don't know, don't care - just eat healthy all the time andyou dont have to worry about it!

i see nothing wrong with having dinner items at breakfast time theres no set rule on when you can have what items, i enjoy pizza for breakfast. and i think your right you should eat the heavier stuff earlier in the day i think thats why the older generation and i mean older have lunch as their BIG meal and supper is something light and small atleast thats what my father in law lives by and he has his whole life!

Family stories say that my grand father a construction worker, always asked to have his breakfast before going to bed so he didn't have to spend time eating breakfast in the morning and he could get on the job asap. Not sure of the validity of that but something to think about! Or at least a nice little chuckle as you read this!

I eat what I want when I want, regardless of time (I've been known to whip up pan cakes for dinner. And because I sleep late and wake up late, breakfast and lunch are one and the same to me.

Yes, sometimes we have breakfast foods for dinner instead of regular dinner food. It doesn't happen too often, though. I personally prefer dinner foods at dinner time over breakfast foods most of the time. When we do have it, it's generally because we can't think of anything else or it sounds really good.

We don't eat breakfast foods very often, at any time of day. Unless you count cereal. My son has dry cereal a lot of times for a snack, and my husband usually has a bowl of cereal most mornings before work. Every once in a while I will fix eggs for one or both of them, but not very often. I don't eat eggs unless they are in something, and I just don't think to make them for my son. We do occasionally have biscuits and gravy for supper, but that's really about it.

I like breakfast meals actually, at any time of the day. It's nice to have waffles for dinner. Or bacon, eggs, and rice with orange juice. Pancakes are good too! I rarely have a time to eat a good breakfast -- it's usually just a cup of coffee and cereal for me -- so it's refreshing to eat breakfast meals at lunch or dinner time.
