I do skip it once in 5 days, atleast 2 days in a week I won't have breakfast. I am lazy and get up late in the morning. Then, I have to cook lunch and get ready to work. So, I felt it is easy to save some time by skipping breakfast eventhough it is very bad for health. Do you have the habit of skipping breakfast? How often do you skip it?

It is great that you make it a point not to skip breakfast. I also kmow that it is very important for health, but I skip it because I am lazy to cook. I am also a south Indian, but it takes a lot of time to cook south Indian breakfast items such as idli, dosa, or upma. I nicely enjoyed all these dishes whem my mom cooked for me. Now, I am staying alone and I have to cook for myself. So, I go for easy things such as corn flakes and milk, toast, oats etc. But, I still like idli and dosa if somebody is there to cook for me.

Well, I am not actually skipping breakfast but always eat late breakfast that it will become a brunch. Anyway, It still good for me because I am just in the house and I can eat anytime I am hungry. The problem why I eat late breakfast is that, I don't feel hungry.

I skip breakfast mostly when I go to office and I have to hurry up. If I am at home (during weekends) I end up eating two breakfasts.

When I was still in college I always skip breakfast because I always wake up around or after lunch time. I just eat the lunch. But now that Im just at home and working with site like mylot. I always sleep in the morning so before I sleep I eat breakfast. But I let one hour pass before I go to sleep.

I mean this might seem stupid but what is the reason that you wait an hour befor you go to sleep after you eat?

I find it hard to skip breakfast. Everyday, I always wake up really hungry, so after taking a bath, I'd rush to the kitchen to see what I can eat. It's tempting to skip breakfast especially when you're rushing to work, but I feel I can't do the stuff I'm supposed to do because I feel weak without breakfast so I always eat breakfast. I can skip dinner, though.

I am with you on this, it is hard for me to think or function without breakfast. It also makes me more awake when I do have breakfast.

As far as i can remember i have never skipped breakfast in my life . If i am sick and unable to eat properly i still have a cup of coffee with biscuits just so my stomach does not remain empty. If i do not eat breakfast there is the danger of constipation and that is even worse. Yes, it is healthy to eat a hearty breakfast and then have a light lunch later on. You will feel full of energy throughout the day if you have breakfast and never feel tired or lethargic.

Ha ha ha. You are wrong friend. Skipping a breakfast is not bad for health, instead it's good in some way. Do you know, I have writeoff breakfast schedule. I do never and I am neither interested on. I never expect for it. Still M surviving and healthy. I am not thin and I don't fall in bed. But I do feel saving of time and money , which we could apply on something worthy. Having break fast and making schedule for it also maked people lazy and always expecting for it. What causes you won't and cant start your task till you have breakfast. That spoils your time, money, health and disturbs your mind if one day you are out of reach of breakfast. Do you think, I am wright? If not how and why? AB_Singh.

Yeahh and to add it on.. When i have my breakfast I will be having diarrhea for sure,,,don't know why? well anyway if you are used in not having breakfast you will never get collapse or whatsoever.. AB_singh is right though because it will also save money... I am from the Philippines so everyday we get to experience how hard to make a living and no matter how you wanted to eat three times a day as required instead you are forced to skip meals not only breakfast... So I think for as long as you have money to buy food when you're hungry then eat. If you're not save it first then spend it when it's time. It's like self discipline you know...

I never really skip breakfast. I might not have much to eat but don't go out with an empty stomach. Its the most important meal of the day and it's important to not skip it.

In my university life, if there is no courses I perfer to skip it. Because I always get up late or I'm too lazy to have lunch. However, nowadays, I eat breakfast everyday. If I want to concentrate on my work, hunger is not a good choice for me. Besides it, I want to keep myself healthy. Often skipping breakfast will makes my stomach bad.

Skipping meals has been proven in the last few days to make me gain weight. No joke!! I ate my calories earlier in the day and skipped dinner, then I ended up skipping breakfast the next day because of not getting up early enough. I ended up gaining a few pounds over the course of those last two days!! With that said, I try not to make it a habit of skipping breakfast. I do it very rarely!

I never skip breakfast, 5 days out of the week I have dry cereal and a cup of tea. On the weekends I treat myself to pancakes one day and bacon and eggs another. Plus I always take a multi-vitamin. "They" say breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

i skip breakfast all the time. it is very seldom i have one. only when my mom visits us that i get to eat breakfast because she would call us and have a meal. i got used to not eating breakfast, i think it started when i was in highschool, because our classes are early and then i dont wake up that early to eat breakfast, after taking i bath and changing clothes i would go to school right away... after that, i never bothered eating breakfast, as there is recess at school. i know its a bad habit, but i dont feel like eating breakfast all the time. but if im being told or somebody is offering me one, i will eat it as it is rude if i dont eat what they offer.

Wow, you have strong stomach there. Me, always have it everyday because my wife always cook for me teehee. But, not only that the reason, let's go back at few years ago. I often skip breakfast too. I'm sick of eating at very early morning, so i wait until almost midday to eat breakfast. Couple months after that I exposed ulcer symptoms, that makes me realize how important breakfast is.

I very seldom eat any breakfast. My coffee is my breakfast. I probably only eat breakfast 2 times a month.

2 times a month??? Unbelievable. Don't you eat on weekends?

How about... everyday? For usual circumstances, I tend to wake up late... so I will normally just have brunch. So it's usually just 2 meals a day for me. Cheers!

I never eat breakfast and never have, not even as a kid. Just the thought of food and trying to get something down my throat in the morning makes me sick. In fact in the mornings I have absolutely nothing, not even coffee, tea or anything else to drink. Finally about brunch time I may start to think about eating and drinking something for lunch which is always a very small meal.

Never? It is hard to believe. Do you feel hungry before lunch? Don't you feel hungry on weekends? Why do you skip it? Is it becaue you are not hungry or is it because you can save the time used for cooking food?

It is because I am not hungry when I wake up. I rarely feel hungry before lunch but if I happen to then I will go and grab a little bite to eat to hold me over to lunch time. It definitely has nothing to do with saving time cooking because I am Always up early enough to cook before I have to go out and I happen to love cooking so it has nothing to do with not wanting to cook either. Strictly that I am not hungry in the mornings.

Yes, I have a habit of skipping breakfast.. I was like this ever since I was small. Probably because me and my family never really made it a habit to eat breakfast altogether in the morning. We've gotten used to it so it's okay for us to not eat breakfast in the morning. But, I'm am always going hungry in the morning and it makes me want to go buy food every time. It kind of sucks because I always couldn't sleep properly in the morning because of hunger.. it's always driving me crazy. I sometimes wished that my parents make us eat every morning. But no.. they don't so I always take my breakfast alone in the morning. Happy myLotting!

As far as I remember, I never skip breakfast because for me breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Besides, about a week ago, I read in the newspaper that skipping breakfast can affect some function of the brains. So, I try my best to always have breakfast, even only bread and butter :)

I do not skip breakfast I just do not eat much for breakfast. I may have a piece of toast with peanutbutter and jelly or oatmeal. By not eating much at breakfast I can still eat some lunch and then eat dinner between 5:30 and 6:30 pm. I have heard that breakfast is one meal you should not skip.
