Is breakfast really the most important meal of the day?
I'm pretty useless without breakfast. Plenty of people at work start at 7.30 am and don't eat until around 9.30, sometimes 11 if it's busy. Nope. I'd rather get up a bit earlier and fix some porridge or other cereal. Then again, I'm not good at passing mealtime, except lunch, every now and then.
I am way too hungry to go without eating something in the morning. We ride our bikes and I need some energy.
Your body has been without food for 8 hours at least, and your blood sugar has dipped overnight. Eating breakfast replenishes the fuel you're missing and regulates your sugar.
