Do you eat breakfast?

I know, yet another movie or TV related thread!

So, do you? If you do, what do you usually eat?

For the majority of my life I haven't been a morning person, and last thing I wanted to do when I woke up was eat anything 😬. But I liked breakfast food for late night suppers. Still do.

Now sometimes I do have breakfast. If I had a personal chef, I'd have eggs Florentine or Benedict, but since I don't, it's usually an egg or two and either turkey sausage of some kind, or Morning Star "bacon."

For the majority of my life, I've been nocturnal so I didn't like waking up early and eating, let alone waking up early.

But for the past few months, I've had a complete change, gotten decent sleep at decent hours and become a morning person, so I prefer to eat as early as possible. Still, I've always been a person who prefers breakfast foods at night and lunch/dinner foods earlier. So I'll eat meat and vegetables, salad, garlic bread, soup, whatever strikes me and doesn't take too long to prepare - depending on what I'm doing that day.

I am an early riser and a coffee drinker - I generally do best if I relax for an hour or two before I start to prepare my breakfast.
When I was young it was different - and for fourteen years at Wally World where I retired I worked graveyard unloading trucks - so I didn't have a traditional breakfast.

Depending on what I have planned for the day sometimes changes things - if I am going into town ( 15-40 miles) depending on doctor or dentists appointments or just picking up supplies or visiting family or friends.
Cafes depend upon location, menu , etc.

One of my pet peeves is grits - I have stated here before I luv fried taters but sometimes I get a hankering for some grits and there is only a couple of restaurants in the entire region that even know what grits are , much less how to prepare them

That is truly a shame, about the grits. Yeah not many places around my town know what grits are.

I had a job that required a lot of energy, and I heard that eating in the a.m. was a good way to wake up your metabolism.
I went with Variety but always with coffee. Fast food breakfast stuff one day, yogurt cup (sometimes w/ fruit and granola) another, sometimes nosh on a plain whole wheat bagel, sometimes with cream cheese, oatmeal is nice and warm and cheap, peanut butter toast does the trick. I just tried to let my mood dictate and make sure I wasn't over-doing any one particular item.
I like cereal but sometimes I thought it was giving me gas. Never thought I was lactose intolerant but I might be.
I'll have to buy a chocolate milk on a day I don't work and see how it treats me.

My roommates always have a ton of 5.3 oz containers of Greek yogurt in the fridge ...
but I never see them eating it. I think they pack 'em off to work and errands, and eat mid-morning, but I'm only guessing.
They love routines and predictability.

When i was a teenager no I did not eat breakfast, but as I got older I usually eat something even if its just a little thing of yogurt.

Breakfast is the only meal I do and do hard. Eggs and Coffee every day. Every which way you can imagine, with every side they got. I eat a big breakfast. Keeps me going all day.

Same here. No lunch, or maybe an apple and a very light dinner.

[–] Catbookss (13664) 7 years ago

Interesting. I love lunch, and how light or heavy a dinner I eat depends on my day , although I do eat dinner later than most.

I suppose it all evens out in the end, regardless of which meal we eat heaviest, and depends on a lot of individual factors. There's no way I could eat a heavy breakfast.

Nope. Bulletproof coffee! And that keeps me full all day!
