Hi,Sometimes I do skip if being late for my college and office. May be for some other urgent work. Later I add my breakfast with my lunch. But while in my school my parents used to take care me well. Later in college I parents go before my college time. I got up very late. Later in office it is time now I sometimes skip and have it may be in my office. Still it might be being late in awakening. Still for health reason it is said the best time to have heavy food is during breakfast.I do know there are people who do not even have breakfasts. Actually it is know that breakfast is really to break your fast no fasting at all. Any thing to share.

I haven't skipped my breakfast since graduating from college. When I was a college student, I was used to go to sleep very late and get up very late too. In order to keep slim, I am used to skip my dinner so I am very hungry in the morning. I usually have a rich breakfast.

I really respect your punctuality and keep it up, that is really needed every where. May be lack of time keeping is may be the common reason for skipping breakfast

Hi,i hardly ever eat a breakfast,ive been like this since high school.There is something about eating in the morning that makes me sick to my stomache,especially the smell of fried eggs,so i tend to stay away from eating breakfast,maybe a muffin though.I have a big dinner though at around 11:00 am with my daughter,i make sure she does eat a breakfast which is usually cereal and toast,fruit,milk or juice etc. Peanutjar:)

There are times when I skip breakfast if I am in a rush, but I really try to avoid doing that so I can give myself time to start my day. I usually wake up 7AM to start my day. Sometimes I'll start off with a bowl of cereal - or the usual eggs, bacon, toast and sausage in the morning. Or sometimes I'll have an oatmeal or a late morning brunch sandwich. I eat dinner around 6PM and nothing later on. I don't tend to eat late night due to the fact it's easier and faster to gain weight that way. But another thing too which goes for me it is not normal or should be a habit to skip meals when they are necessary. Average to stick to the 2,000 calories a day what we eat. There can be a few symptoms along the way if it is skipped more often. I also have hot cocoa or a hot cup of coffee in the morning to start off, but then again I can't just rely on the beverage either.

Yes, I tend to do that quite a bit. Matter of fact, I tend to do it even if I am not late. It all has to do with whether or not I am hungry or not. If I am hungry, then I will usually take the time to grab something and eat. A lot of times, I don't wake up hungry, so I would ratehr spend the time to get ready or study rather than eat. Sometimes, I will need a big breakfast because I wake up hungry and my day cannot get started without a nice meal. It all depends on the day and the circumstances.

Hi, I too absolutely agree with you the role of hungry is more evident even if we get up we do like to have breakfast may be we are not hungry. The role of hungry is more prominent when having food. Thanks for responds.

If I am late, I will grab something out of the fridge and eat that. If I am going to eat in the morning, then I will eat something later and just have my juice or fruit and maybe some coffee or tea. I do not eat a heavy breakfast, I am more of the eat two light meals in the am, and two light meals in the pm, and two light meals in the evening. I do not get as hungry that way.

i usually wake up early to avoid being late and to have time to eat breakfast. and then, i don't usually eat breakfast at home. i would usually eat breakfast at the office canteen. sometimes i eat breakfast at home when there's already food. oh by the way, i don't cook my own food so i depend on who is ever going to cook. and since i wake up earlier than the rest of them, there would be no breakfast yet so i have to eat out. ^__^;; there are times that i get up late and i'm in a hurry and a little hungry, i would grab a bread before going out and eat the bread while on my way. ^__^ and then, i would eat a heavy snacks at work. ^__^

Yes, sometimes I have to skip breakfast if I'm really in a hurry. But I hate it because I know my brain will function more optimally if it is fed. So I still find a way to get some nourishment, like going to a drive-thru or take a quick 15-minute break at the office to run to the nearest restaurant. Also here in the Philippines we have "taho", which is a soya breakfast in a cup. It's delicious, nutritious, cheap, and can be bought in the streets real quick.

When I am working in the morning shift that start 7 am, I always skip breakfast. Because if I have breakfast it will be too early and my stomach will start to give me problem just when I start working. The other reason is, I never have time to prepare for breakfast at that time. I will then take my lunch break at 11 am so I can have breakfast and lunch together..

It is not right to skip your breakfast, which is the most important meal during a day, though a lot of people ignore it. Just as the saying goes, breakfast should be as nutritious as possible. At the same time, you should make sure that you are full for lunch. In its turn to supper, it is better to eat less that 80% full stomache is enough. Hence, don't forget your breakfast next time.

I know it's bad for you but, I always skip breakfast on weekdays because I hate eating cereal and I hate cooking for myself. My kids eat cereal and my husband eats oatmeal. On the weekends, I always make a big breakfast and we all eat together and then I eat.

Hi. Just now I realized that there were times when I used to have breakfast and that too well nicely prepared and well served. Since I have been living away from my mom, there has not been a single day on which I have missed her for a new reason.

No, i dont skip my break fast at all. I have never done it... if i am late, i jus take out an apple or any fruit and eat. I cannot go to my office with empty stomach. However, sometimes, i skip my dinner. Reasons for it: 1)I am too lazy to have my dinner. 2)Im too busy on my computer sometimes ;)

No, i neve skip my lunch. I cant do that. As soon as the clock strikes 12.30, i leave for lunch. I have a good, heavy lunch and make sure that im filled. however, at times i take fruits for dinner ;) Reason is that I simply love fruits...
30 Apr 08
I can only eat breakfast at certain times, no earlier than 8 and no later than 10.30, otherwise I end up taking a bite a leaving the rest, even if Im ridiculously hungry! How strange is that?! Its bad though cos I know you should eat breakfast everyday, most important meal of the day and all that.
