When I was in college I skipped breakfast because I will be late for school. I always wake up late and I am still sleepy, so there is no time for me to eat. I always have brunch. And now that I am married I still have brunch during weekends, my husband abd I love to sleep more during weekends.

I skip breakfast because I always get up from bed very late already. And sometimes, ig I woke up early, I still do not eat breakfast since I'm not hungry. What's important is that I always eat lunch, lunch/"merienda" and dinner.

I do it partly because I am not hungry in the morning and partly because of lack of time in the mornings. I like to sleep in, so I do that rather than eat, which means I am often in a rush in the morning...

I always skip breakfast cause when I wake up, I'm not hungry at all. I just only drink orange juice for breakfast to get me going. Plus I never ate breakfast in the mornings when I was a kid. I would only drink chocolate milk and that's it. Only Sundays my mom would cooked breakfast when I was a kid. I guess mainly because of that, I don't eat breakfasts since I'm used too it.

I usually skip breakfast because I get up late in the mornings. I just wait for lunch and eat then. When I do wake up early, I usually just have coffee and wait for lunch. I got used to that routine since after college and it has worked me since I get lazy to cook breakfast lol. When I go home, I don't skip any meal, though. My mom or another family member (mostly my gran), would insist on eating all meals on time. It helps that they cook all my favorites, too.

I usually skip breakfast when I will be late for work but I try not to skip it since it is the most important meal in a day.

Hello. I don't usually skip breakfast, but I often miss it, because some mornings I over sleep and get up late. So, not to be late to my work, I have to rush after just a quick cup of coffee. So, I miss my favorite breakfast items, juice, cereal, bacon and eggs, toast. On those days, I would have heavy lunches to make up for the missed breakfast ! Ha ha !

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day so they say. I believe it is. It is the first meal we could have for the day before we start doing any of the important tasks we have. I think I won't have enough concentration at work if I would skip breakfast. Even when I'm not that hungry I would still eat a little bit of something just to boost my energy for work.

I hardly ever skip breakfast. Part of the reason is that once i get to work I do not get a break until my lunch which is at 12:30. I am normally hungry as it is at my lunch, but find myself really dragging if I do not eat a healthy breakfast. The only time I skip is if i am running really late. That has not happened yet this year, but last year twice the power went out, therefor the alarm did not go off.

I skip breakfast because I got used to skipping it when I was a kid. My mother never forced me to eat breakfast so I always thought eating breakfast is just a burden. but when i started going to school, i usually eat breakfast but i eat very little. Now, i skip breakfast because i'm lazy to get up early in the morning and i just work from home so don't need extra energy for traveling and i can just eat anytime i want.

Well in today's world I believe the majority of people skip breakfast because there is just not enough time in a day anymore to do everything. I personally have really bad insomnia and stay awake pretty much the whole night so by the time I get to bed then wake up around 7 or 8 in the morning I'm just not hungry. Then with work and getting the kids off to school plus taking care of all the animals there's just no time to stop to eat. Its funny for hundreds of years families use to sit down to eat all meals together and thats hoe they caught up with each others lives but nowadays with the price of gas, rent, food we have to work twice as hard and have no time to eat let alone spend time with our families.

I don't skip breakfast. I always wanted to eat every time i wake up in the morning. I just got used to drinking hot chocolate then eat breakfast since childhood. My mother always tells me that it is bad to skip breakfast and I always follow her instructions. She said that I may feel dizzy and will not have enough energy for the day.
