Schoolmarm | Sunday, March 09, 2003 - 03:08 pm     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. |
Grooch | Sunday, March 09, 2003 - 03:12 pm     1. Do you eat breakfast? Not sure. I get a break at 9:15 at work and I go out to the lunch truck and get a pastillito (danish) to eat. Lately, I've been eating instant oatmeal ever since someone found a hair in their pastillito. So maybe I do? 2. If you answered yes to question #1, how often do you eat breakfast? 5 days a week (my work days) A - every day B - often C - sometimes D - very little 3. If you answered yes to question #1, when are you most likely to eat breakfast? During work. At 9:15. A - before work B - on weekends C - both 4. From the following list, please choose the top 5 items you tend to eat/drink for breakfast. Other. Either a pastillito (danish) or instant oatmeal, or I will have a cafe con leche with a tostado. (milk with coffee & toasted cuban bread with butter.) bacon bagels biscuits cereal eggs fast food breakfasts muffins pancakes pizza pop-tarts sandwiches sausage toast waffles yogurt soda coffee milk juice other 5. If you answered yes to question #1, do you feel more hungry or less hungry at lunch time? Less. A - more B - less 6. If you anwered yes to question #1, do you feel more alert/energetic than if you had skipped breakfast? A - yes B - no No. I just feel less hungry. 7. Do you personally believe breakfast is important to work performance? Yes. I wish I ate better in the morning and ate less at night. Just not enough time and thank goodness for the morning break. A - yes B - no C - undecided |

Ginger1218 | Sunday, March 09, 2003 - 03:24 pm     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. |
Abbynormal | Sunday, March 09, 2003 - 03:35 pm     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! |
Theowl | Sunday, March 09, 2003 - 03:36 pm     1. Nope Well that about does it for me!! I hope I helped!! Hi Abby(Normal??)  |
Crossfire | Sunday, March 09, 2003 - 03:43 pm     (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
Quote:Interesting note: most people who eat breakfast feel more hungry come lunch time.
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. |
Abbynormal | Sunday, March 09, 2003 - 03:45 pm     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! |
Ginger1218 | Sunday, March 09, 2003 - 03:48 pm     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. |
Pamy | Sunday, March 09, 2003 - 03:48 pm     Aaah, I thought Adven was up to his old tricks again!! |
Theowl | Sunday, March 09, 2003 - 03:52 pm     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 | Sunday, March 09, 2003 - 03:53 pm     1. yes 2. a 3. c 4. Pizza, toast, tea, whatever I have left over from last nites dinner 5. ? 6. A 7. A Your son's project sounds fun, we just started my 7 yrold's project...we have to find out what type of bread gets moldy faster! |
Theowl | Sunday, March 09, 2003 - 03:58 pm     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!!)  |
Pamy | Sunday, March 09, 2003 - 04:03 pm     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! |
