Do You Eat Breakfast?

Wang Chung · Posted: Wed Jan 14, 2009 3:04 am Post subject: Do You Eat Breakfast?

An astounding thing I have discovered is the magic of breakfast. I used to be a punk that rolled out of bed, barely made it to class, never had time for anything more than a poptart. Since, I have made it a point to always eat a decent breakfast before heading out.

So I want to know, who else eats a breakfast? If you do, elaborate. If you don't, do you plan to change that?

I read recently that lack of eating breakfast correlated more with health problems than other dietary aberrations. I found that interesting, because eating a healthy breakfast doesn't benefit people like other blanket health statements do (i.e. "ketchup has lycopene which is good!" and "pomegranate juice cures AIDS" or whatever BS comes out of the box).
If you are not eating breakfast and think you could be healthier, I highly advise eating breakfast and eat your meals in decreasing portion size (as opposed to light breakfast, medium lunch, feast of a dinner). It changed everything for me.

On school days I get up, take ma' meds and usually have the following:
- Oatmeal
- Banana
- PLAIN Shredded Wheat (the single healthiest cereal you can have)
- Straight green tea (a small cup, provides for a decent pick me up but nothing special)

Pretty quick to prepare. If I have more time, I will be looking to make scrambled eggs more often this semester. As well as a glass of milk.

Have at it!

Yes & no. Depends on if I'm up early enough. But poached eggs on buttered toast = <3. Especially with a sliced orange.

I eat breakfast sometimes, my sleep schedule is so messed up that half of the week I go to bed around 4am or later and wake up around 10, 11, or 12. So breakfast is lunch in a way.

When I do work early I try and eat, and I find that is does help, I work at a grocery store so I grab fruit or a donut every once and awhile. If I don't work but wake early I usually fry up a couple eggs with some toast. By fry I mean cook in a pan sunny side up, not actually fry.

Breakfast does positively impact your day.

I like my caffeine though, so when I make tea early it is usually as stout as coffee. I make black tea most often but green tea is great, I put 2-3 tea bags per cup.

Interesting couple of topics Wang.

Yes and no for me too. Sometimes before school I'm honestly not hungry until class has started haha. But its often not very healthy. When lucky I have time to make something I make a mean scrambled egg.

I never eat breakfast. In the mornings if I wake up at 6 am. I can eat. But if I wake up at 7-10, no way. I have stomach pains at that time and if I eat anywhere between that period my stomach will be destroyed for the rest of the day. The only exception to eating between those times is if I wait 3 hours before waking up, which is why I must always eat at 6.

However, I never get up as 6 and most of the time, I'll sleep until it's lunch time.

I eat breakfast every day as soon as I get up:

- 2 scrambled eggs (with kechup)
- glass of water

...usually within 10 minutes of my alarm going off.
Yep, same thing every day.

Suspicious, because everyone knows it takes 6 minutes to cook each egg when you scramble them. This means that you've been cooking the eggs for 2 minutes before you've woken up - a feat no MORTAL man can accomplish

And vote yes in the poll them Razz

That way I can't say "The only member of the Cut Throats that eats breakfast" in my member facts.

6 minutes to scramble an egg?

Wow, mine take much less time, try getting the skillet hot.

I was kidding. Maybe if you use a magnifying glass and some tin foil on a sidewalk.

I was just trying to make Brutus seem like he wasn't human. Thanks for raining on my parade Sad

Wang, you obviously dont have a wife that knows what time your alarm clock is set to.

I walk into my kitched toussle-headed to hot eggs because my wife made them. Not, that that makes her super human either.

You ARE too young to make assumptions. Wink

And I AM super human beeotch! Just believe... Very Happy

Breakfast seems to be common sense to me. I really can't pay much attention after going hungry for long periods of time.

Though, I don't really eat anything fancy. Cereal/milk + glasses of water, maybe scrambled eggs on the weekend because I'm too lazy/slow to make them on the weekdays.

That said, I'm going to eat breakfast right now. Razz

Most days Oatmeal or Cream of Wheat and toast and some fruit w/ juice if there's any. Occasionally cold pizza (today) or cold chicken wings. Weekends I may get lucky and get chirizo and hashbrowns, with or without a tortilla, home made salsa, and tea. It don't get better than that!
