Wheatabix for me at home full breakfast when on holiday although I find I get fed up of bacon etc after a couple of days so breakfasts after that differ ?☕️?
Terrible relationship with DIL - am I the problem?
difficult relationship with son
I never have - just never felt hungry in the morning. For some reason though the last few months I'm finding it increasingly difficult to keep going till lunchtime and the biscuit tin is getting a look in much earlier in the day than can be justified.
Perhaps I need to give it go...

I am type 1 diabetic and am not a fan of breakfast but should have. I have read a book about low carb and low sugar and am applying that. It is great for type 2 diabetic and can cure that. This morning I had 2 boiled eggs and find that it will see me through to mid afternoon have also lost 2 kilo so worth investigating as sugar levels seem more stable.
Same as goose. I have mine between 9 and 10am and have fruit with a yogurt poured over. I never ate fruit before. I used to have lots of biscuits but I joined Slimming World and now I love it. Only downside is, it can be expensive when you eat lots every day.
I always used to force myself to have breakfast, feeling I really ought to eat it but I never really fancied it. I've been dieting since April & have taken a lot of tips from the Diet Doctor, who says there's no reason that you should have breakfast if you don't feel hungry & that it's good to fast from evening meal to lunch the next day. I don't care if he's right or wrong but I've found it suits me really well and had possibly aided my weight loss. However, we're about to go in holiday & I daresay I might find the odd breakfast slipping through my lips!
We have bacon and egg butties or porridge most days, my cholesterol was 2.2 at last testing, I am heavy but need no medicines.
I always eat breakfast as being a type 1 insulin diabetic, I must ....not always hungry, but usually have a bowl of oats mixed with greek yogurt and fruit ....any fruit I have around, or if I have eaten it all, I used dried cranberries ! oh, and cannot go without my cup of tea ! Have read that wholemeal toast is good, with a boiled egg, but I am too idle to cook boiled eggs in the morning !!!! Always trying to find something that keeps me going until lunchtime without a hypo ,,,,anyone else out there who has this problem ?
Can't even begin to function without breakfast, even when I worked abroad and finished a shift around 7 in the morning, having to go back to work by 9 I would always have breakfast rather then sleep.
I'm with Jinglbells on this. Was away for a couple of days, ate breakfast because we had paid for it at the hotel, but never eat breakfast at home. Drink a lot of coffee though!
I always find kippers in a bag are a bit too salty for me - at least the Morrisons ones are. I will sometimes buy them for lunch or high tea, but there are usually too many to eat at a sitting so make the left overs into kipper pate. There is a mobile fish stall at Brancaster Staithe and they sell the most wonderful kippers. I was devastated when he didn't have any the day we went there (DH was very relieved!). I am very lazy when it comes to preparing a cooked breakfast for myself. I am always happy to cook a breakfast for visitors - in fact I consider it a courtesy to at least offer it - but then, when I've gone to the trouble of cooking it, I don't usually want to eat it.
I also love breakfast and miss the porridge along with a slice of mango, that my daughter-in-law used to make when with them.
The most delicious breakfast was when we were staying in Africa, what with their mangos and passion fruit.
Always. Most important bit of our daily routine. Fruit, toasted home made bread, cereal, tea. And at weekends, eggs from our hens!
get up around 6.30 & have breakfast around 9 or 10, occasionally don't get hungry do don't have it them
In response to Greyduster's comment about it being too much hard work cooking fish.....
Just wanted to say Lidl do kippers in a bag which can be cooked in the microwave for 2 minutes.
Really cheap too, much less than Morrisons.
Often reduced so I buy a few and pop them in the freezer.
Mind you, I usually have them with bread for lunch, rather than breakfast. A little fressh parsley added makes them very special.
Love breakfast. My favourite meal. Just had my normal porridge made from real oats, using the small oat flakes cooked in the microwave with skimmed milk, then today a large ripe nectarine chopped up in it Often chop in half a large mango. No need to add sugar as the fruit is very sweet. When I am in UK I add tinned fruit in fruit juice rather than syrup or a chopped banana. Lots of weakish tea.
Before I discovered porridge with fruit I always had boiled egg and toast and as a child 2 weetabix.
Keeps me going to lunch time avoiding the biscuits.
when I was working i rarely had time for breakfast. However in retirement I was looking after my mother aged 99. The carers brought her to the breakfast table and we had a leisurely soft boiled egg and toast and marmalade breakfast every morning. She had poor chewing ability. My mother would only eat if someone else was eating. This breakfast set her up for the day and she ate a bit of each meal that followed. But we did not have to worry if she was eating enough. Then she enjoyed a slice of Batternburg cake at tea time.
After she died I started on 1 bowl of muesli with mixed nuts, flaked almonds, coconut and sunflower seeds added each morning. Since then my cholesterol has started to come down so I am very happy.
My husband adds yogurt and prunes to his.
I'm another breakfast hater, I haven't eaten regular breakfasts since I was 10 years old. I'll only have one if I'm staying in a hotel or B&B and even then it's only fruit.
The thought of breakfast makes me feel queasy ?
Thank you, Lizzy - I will try it out with DD when she comes back from holiday. She is my partner in crime when it comes to fish! Everyone else seems to hate it!
Kedgeree! Where did Lederer come from????
Greyduster here is a recipe for Lederer that's pretty quick to make. You can use a pouch of ready cooked rice and ready cooked mackerel too for even more time saved. I made this a couple of weeks ago and flung in some toasted pine nuts and cashews. You can add raisins if you like them. Good job I halved the recipe!

It's different in a hotel! You're paying for it for one thing. 
And it saves on buying lunch.
Not keen on breakfast but I need something to keep me regular. I find porridge does the trick and it slips down easily. In summer I add berries from the garden.
I boggle at the amount people eat for breakfast when we stay in a hotel. Don't know how they do it!
I have to have my coffee first. Two small cups made from freshly ground beans. While I'm enjoying that I'll prepare my breakfast of full fat Greek yoghurt with raspberries, blueberries and whatever other berries are in the fridge, a handful of granola and a dollop of thick fresh cream. It has to be left to come to room temperature though, can't stand chilled food.
I really can't face even looking at food in the morning but will have a snack around lunchtime and dinner around 6pm (no pud though!).
I'm out of action at this moment so DH (worst cook ever!) is making dinner tonight...God help me!
Nope. I save eating til later. Starving by 1.
I've always been a breakfast hater. I have to force myself to eat in the morning because I don't feel like eating until midday.
