1. Yes
2. C

4. Bagels (actually toast would be more appropriate but I have bagels now and then as well), sandwich, coffee (or tea), other, and cereal (hot cereals like oatmeal though).
5. A

For me, I tend to eat more small meals throughout the day rather than 3 main meals. Also, for #5, my breakfasts often serve as "brunch" when I do have them. I don't have regular scheduled eating habits.

1. No--I just sometimes snack at about 10am...I think that that is late enough to qualify for "Brunch"

4. bacon, eggs, fast food breakfast, pizza, milk (If I eat in the morning, it is a caffiene free diet soda with leftover pizza or chex mix...or if I'm feeling healthy it's natural yoghurt with mueslix. I really don't care for "breakfast food" with the exception of bacon and eggs and those yummy sausage biscuits at McDonalds.)

7. No. The carbs in most breakfast foods send me (and anyone else who is hypoglycemic) into a blood sugar tailspin. I have to stick with dairy or protein. MOST people need to have a good breakfast to function well.

Abby
I wake up at 4:30 am when I go to work, I cannot eat. But I eat something at 8am, does that count at breakfast? If it does, let me know and I will answer the rest of the questions.

Ginger, I would qualify that as breakfast. I am with you, I have to be up at least a couple hours before I can eat.

Interesting note: most people who eat breakfast feel more hungry come lunch time. For me personally, if I skip breakfast I don't feel hungry until around 2pm, but if I eat breakfast I am starving by lunch. Huh.

Thanks everyone for doing this. With all the other info we have gathered I think this is going to turn out great!

(Whoops, I was only supposed to pick 5 breaky items, I only took out the things I don't eat.

Hmmmm...
coffee
milk
juice
cereal
toast

I think the theory behind that is that if you eat breaky, you fire up your metabolism, and by the time lunch comes, it needs more fuel to keep going, if you skip, you metabolism slows down, and goes into conservation mode. Something like that.

Owl! You goofball! Actually it does help alot. We need all across the board, and it would make the chart look better. LOL

So can you tell me why not:

Don't care for breakfast
Don't consider it a big deal
Too lazy...er...not enough time LOL
Too early to face food

Actually I just want to see what you will answer! :)

Abby, they say that if you eat carbs for breakfast, that sets you up for cravings and hunger. If you don't eat carbs at breakfast, you will not be hungry. It is a vicious cycle.

Abby, it's because my maid/cook has the mornings off, and all I can do is boil water and I don't like oatmeal. Really, I'm just not hungery in the mornings. I drink a pot of coffee and that's all.

Pamy, I bought a loaf of whole wheat bread from the bakery at Krogers two weeks ago. I put it in the fridge and this morning it was moldy!! I hope that helps!! (sorry Abby!!)

Thanks Owl, we have put 4 different kinds of bread out on the counter and take pics of them every other day, it's been 8 days and no mold!
