I sometimes skip breakfast beacuse I'm late for my work or review class. Or sometimes I just don't want to.

Most of the family members get us beofre 6 a.m. and start doing our day chores, getting ready to school/college/office. By 8.30 a.m. all of us are ready and the lunch is only by 2 p.m. and therefore we cannot starve till then. Therefore it is tradition for nearly 4 decades that breakfast is a must and one cannot skip breakfast. So by 8.30 breakfast will be over and lunch will be light lunch and obviously dinner will be heavy.

My dear I hope you don't do that anymore. Skipping breakfast is depriving yourself of the most important meal of the day. You fasted the whole night and in the morning you have to break the fast to give yourself the much needed nutrients and energy for the day. It does not need to be heavy if you are hurrying, a piece of big banana with fresh milk or fruit juice and a slice of wheat bread will do.

I almost always eat breakfast, even if it is only something light. It is important to do so for the sake of one's blood sugar.

I also skip breakfast before especially when I have to attend school. But sometimes when I feel like I was hungry I'll just make a hot coffee before leaving. Now, every morning I always ask my Mother to have a breakfast.

I usually eat breakfast no matter what. Even when I do not want to I do, even if it is just a cup of hot chocolate and a few cookies if I am not hungry enough for toast. This morning I woke up at 5AM (yes on Sunday!) and wasn't hungry but still made breakfast and ate it. Breakfast is essential for me because it would totally ruin my appetite for lunch and my body won't have any fuel to burn when I start to do my work and would therefore end up feeling listless. Breakfast is #1 for me. I can personally skip dinner and occasionally lunch but it leaves me with a big headache a few hours later if I do.

Itry to always eat my breakfast before going to school or going to work. I do this because I feel very uncomfortable trying to succeed at a task with my stomache constantly growling and making me feel weak. I just feel so much better if I had some food in my stomach. I see many people skipping out on breakfast everyday and for hours and hours. I honestly don't see how they make it through the day without an effieient energy source.

Actually, I don't think skipping breakfast is a good means of life , especially for your health. Once I was a kid, one day, I did't go to the kindergarten just because I didn't have time for my breakfast. Ha, maybe I am a little stupid then, but that is my attitude of life, never maltreat yourself.

I can't imagine skipping breakfast or any other meal. I get extremely bad headaches and I feel faint if I don't eat after a while. Also, I usually exercise in the morning and there would be no way I could make it to work without eating anything. I just wouldn't be able to function at work at all. Sometimes, I take my breakfast to the gym if I don't have time to eat it at home. Or, I bring something that I can eat in the car.

They say its the worse meal to skip b/c you haven't eatten all night and your making your body go longer with out any food so when you do decide to eat your body will then store more of the fat you put in just in case it needs some for the next time you skip a meal which isn't good. So even if its a glass of milk or orange juice you should put something in your belly.

I think your day goes all wrong if you don't have breakfast and a shower. You are meant to eat after getting up - hence "break-fast!" See ya! UMart
