i ate a lot for my breakfast! then i would see other either could not eat much for breakfast or...would skip breakfast!!! is there a reason why? because i'm always soooo hungry in the morning! i can't understand if someone could survive till noon...at least not me..!! i will be dead by noon!!! I know people are different, but even how our bodies are built are different as well? even between brothers and sisters?

That's the best thing ever! To eat breakfast! I. for one, can not eat breakfast, my body would just want to drink something like a Danone yogurt .But then I go all day hungry, with no time to eat, so no wonder I'm cranky and moody, have problems concentrating also. Interesting is that I take care of everyone to have something for lunch, but not for myself. yes, it's nothing ne - mothers mostly take care of anyone else but themselves. But I really advise everyone for breakfast, gives the so needed eenrgy for the whole day activities. And I promise I'll do my best to listen to my own advise and if not eating breakfast, a least bring something to work for lunch!

I eat a bowl of cereal for breakfast. Actually its not just one bowl its usually two or three. I have a pretty big appetite so one bowl is not going to do anything for my hunger. When I was in school I would be sooo hungry by the time lunch time came around but now I manage just fine until lunch. Sometimes I'm not even hungry enough to eat lunch. But I dont do that much. In school we had gym class and everything else so I worked off a lot more calories then I probably do now. I was much more active at that point in my life where as now I'm pretty calm and dont exercise much. My daughter eats very little for breakfast if anything at all. She goes to school and doesnt eat most the time until lunch I dont know how she does that I would have been so sick from hunger at that age doing that.

I get really woozy if I don't have a good, sustainable breakfast. It doesn't have to be BIG but it just has to have.. protein and carbs in it. So, oatmeal, eggs, cereal, whatever. It just has to have some nutrients in it, especially if I work in the morning. I get totally sick feeling (upset stomach) and dizzy if I don't eat in the morning. I think it's my bodys' way of telling me to make sure I eat in the AM. And yes, I highly believe that all of our bodies are built differently, our metabolisms are different, and our needs are different.

It's really true that i can not survive with just a light breakfast. I always feel dizzy if i take a light breakfast in the morning. So, usually i take a heavy breakfast in the morning to continue to live for a long time until noon. I think that it is impossible to survive with just a light breakfast for me. I do not know how people survive with just a light or no breakfast.

Hi yeap, you are right, everybody should have breakfast well which contains high proteins and one should never skip his/her breakfast because that harms our body a lot, you are doing a good thing. Even I never skip my breakfast you know?

hi px__yeap Yes we are all different as our metabolisms are different. some of us are really hungry and can eat and use up all that food, while others like myself need to eat lightly at breakfast as our systems are just starting to wake up and we metabolize our food more slowly. But I do not think anyone should go without eating,as you need to break that fast thats what the word stands for, breaking the long fast yuo had while sleeping. but some protein and some carbs should set you up for the morning with maybe a light snack before lunch. Lots of people cannot handle a heavy breakfast but can eat lightly with a small snack of protein plus carb midrmorning. this is best for us diabetics too.

Hi, px_yeap. I can go without eating breakfast many days. And I can eat an light breakfast if I am not really that hungry in the mornings. I was like this in high school. I was never hungry for breakfast and I never used to eat at home either before I left to go to school. I agree many people bodies are so much different than others are. That is just how it can be for everyone. I can eat breakfast up now. My body changes everyday and I can be hungry and then I won't be hungry.

I really treasure breakfast and consider it the best meal of the day! I have a routine that I stick to though and that is, I have two boiled eggs with toast every morning! I have had this same breakfast for many years and it suits me fine. I don't think that it's too heavy and it doesn't take long to prepare. There was a time when I used to have cereal and this is all that I would have. Eggs seem to get me through the day, right through to dinner time at least! I don't think there has ever been a time when I have skipped breakfast completely, I don't think this is very wise to be honest. They say that if you have breakfast, well, this helps you concentrate and get through the day, I do believe this. Happy New Year. Andrew

Most times I survive on no breakfast at all but believe it is not a nice survival .Take for example this morning I didnt have any break fast and believe when it came to 12 o clock I had to rush to the canteen to grab something to eat even though I had some fruits at ten am .So I think I amy agree to some extent with those who say have a strong breakfast,moderate lunch and very light supper

Ever since I was a kid, I get used to skip breakfast since I always wake up late. Even going to school, I can survive without eating anything. One of the factor would be I will be late in school if I took the time to eat anything. That's my habit when I was in elementary and high school. Now that I am in college, I eat something before going to school since it is very tiring just going to the campus. I had to take a bus and a jeepney just to get there. In addition, a 10 minutes walk and climb 5 stairs since my room is always on the 5th floor. Although if I woke up late, I'd just skip it and try to grab a bite while on my way to school.

Everyone can survive without food for atleast two days,and here a light breakfast is also being given ,that would be enough,yes it is diffcult to live without food but it won't certainly affect your life that you will have think of surviving.

well that's the manner and if you always have little breakfast or have a light breakfast for a long time then you won't be hungry in the morning also.but as the doctors said that's good to eat more qualified breakfast .or our healthy will be spoiled.

I have a light breakfast every morning. A smoothie and sometimes I skip breakfast which I know is not very good. As they say, breakfast is the most importand meal. I can believe that to be true because if I ate a big breakfast, I would then eat very little for lunch which I don't do.... Yes, I need to make some changes.
