Missing versus Skipping breakfast
I'm very new to this forum, so please excuse me if this was discussed previously.
My question is this: What do you tend to do if you miss breakfast? I don't mean skip it but sleep through it altogether. Do you still do three meals? Like lunch, dinner1, dinner2. Or just lunch and dinner, and too bad for the meal you slept through?

I'd do whatever worked for me that day. It's a situation with too many possibilities for one answer. Do what works for you and don't worry about it.

Re: Missing versus Skipping breakfast
It depends. If it's a weekend (which is usually the only days I'd be sleeping in late enough not to have breakfast), it's an S day, and I'm probably having a brunch anyway, so I don't sweat it.Bfrilkins wrote:I'm very new to this forum, so please excuse me if this was discussed previously.

If it's a weekday, if I sleep in long enough to miss breakfast, I'm ill and it's an S-day.
If this is a regular thing, I'd either prep breakfast the night before so that you can have a little something, or just eat two larger meals a day. (I actually do sometimes prep breakfast the night before if I am going to be psycho busy and might be tempted to skip).

I am not a fan of breakfast. I used to love eggs and bacon, but since I turned vegetarian... just an egg is not as appealing. I have bought the substitutes, but breakfast is just not the same. I tend to skip breakfast altogether sometimes, and if so, I still have my 3 meals, I just push them up later in the day... a lot of breakfast foods are sweets, so I always have to be careful.

If I woke up and was hungry, I'd break the fast.
Then I'd play it by ear.

Thanks all
Thanks everyone for your thoughts and suggestions. I think the most important thing will just be to decide ahead what/when my meals will be and stick to that.
