Do you eat breakfast before going to work or do you just bring it on your way?

I know not eating breakfast isn't helping my metabolism, but to tell the truth I don't eat breakfast most of the time. I got used of not eating anything before going to work. I just usually grab something to drink from the fridge. Sometimes I do have the chance to buy something somewhere and just eat it on the way. I think it also has something to do with me waking up a little bit late that makes me don't want to eat breakfast anymore, since I usually wake up like 3-4 hours before lunch time.

Welcome to myLot!
I am used to eating breakfast as a kid until now. They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I don't know why. I guess its really depends on the person's body. If I eat breakfast, I may not eat snack and just eat at lunch again

Thanks for the warm welcome! =)
Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper. Heard of this quote? haha. I guess it really does makes sense. Good to hear you eat breakfast until now. It really is the most important.

I have a night job, so either I eat breakfast when I get home or go to sleep right away and skip it. But if I had a day job, I'd prefer to eat at home so that I'll be really awake, full of energy and ready for the day by the time I leave the house.

I remember the time during my nurse duty days when we get night shifts. Every time I get home is the time I eat breakfast. There was one time that I had to choose whether to eat or to sleep, since i'm very hungry and very sleepy at the same time. I had given up eating that time before bed because I can no longer open my eyes. lol. Anyhow, thanks for sharing silentwill.

In my case I chose sleep because I find it hard to sleep after eating. I know some people get sleepy when full but for me my body awakens if I eat something and will lose my sleepiness for hours.

We are almost in the same boat... yes most of the time I don't like eating my breakfast but I drink juice. We all know that it is not good for not eating breakfast. I used to it before but now, I couldn't do it, my stomach will growl and growl if I cannot eat.

For me, the best thing on the go is an apple and/or a glass of milk mixed with supplement powder (SlimFast, Instant Breakfast). I always keep a bag with two apples and a bottle of water...along with a granola bar (homemade) for an emergency. The first apple is for mid-morning, the apple is for midday, and when I finish around 2:30, I eat a big lunch! :)

Hi nrtan, I believe in having a hearty breakfast before leaving hoe, it takes care of most of my day since my lunch gets delayed and sometimes I eat just a fruit until I get home in the evening.If yu have no time, even having a glass of milk and munching an apple is a good option,I do that sometimes when I too wake up late and am rushed..all the best and happy mylotting

When I have the time, I prefer eating at home. It's just a moment of peace and zen. Flipping through a magazine, eating calmly in the dining room, sipping some hot tea, listen ti the birds singing... ah, so perfect. A great way to start the day. But sometimes I just grab something to eat, and eat it on the metro or bus.

Every morning before going to the office, I always found time for breakfast. Not many people realize it but the breakfast is one of the secrets to staying healthy. No matter how busy you are, it's important to refuel your body so that energy throughout the day. Breakfast gives us energy for do activity all day. In fact, besides giving energy to the body, the breakfast also has other benefits that are not less important. Here are some of the benefits of breakfast.
Giving Strength metabolism from the overnight - Breakfast is considered an important meal because it breaks the night that did not and replenishes your supply of glucose. Sugar is a source of energy that is absorbed from the carbohydrates you eat. In the morning, after you have gone without food for 12 hours, the sugars in your body down to the level of the low. When this happens, your body compensates by releasing the glucose that has been stored in your muscle tissue and liver, called glycogen.
Useful For Weight Loss - Over 12 hours of sleep your body is fasting all night, and in the morning you are in the first phase are hungry. Skipping breakfast keeps your body in 'starvation' mode, while eating a good meal will give your metabolism a boost. If you're trying to lose weight, the last thing you want to do is keep your metabolic rate is low. Eating a healthy breakfast will improve your fat burning. Furthermore, breakfast can increase your energy levels throughout the day as well as metabolism.
Increase our essential nutrients and overall energy levels - Breakfast provides a significant proportion of total nutrient intake for the entire day, and offer the opportunity to eat foods fortified with nutrients such as iron, vitamins and fiber. Essential vitamins, minerals and other nutrients can only be obtained from food.
Whatever we choose, eating breakfast gives you body and brain the energy they need to carry throughout the day. Be good to ourselves, and eat breakfast. This habit will make us feel better throughout the day
