Is breakfast the most important meal of the day?

Yes, without doubt.

In fact there are studies suggesting that amongst people trying to lose weight, those who eat breakfast are more successful than those who do not.

I eat breakfast every day, most days it is a fairly healthy breakfast eg. cereal+muesli+banana or grain bread toast. Occasionally I lash out and have something like a croissant or pancakes with maple syrup or bacon and eggs.

One thing I can't live without is my morning caffe latte (or cafe au lait if you prefer)

At least we can agree on something!

Eating breakfast has many benefits. It definitely jump starts your bodies metabolic rate.

I know everyone's system is different, but I think you have to eat at least a little something in the morning to give your body something to burn. I usually work out early in the morning and even if I don't feel like having anything, I try to get at least a banana or an energy bar to get me going.

I'm thin and its not as fun as it sounds, I have to eat breakfast othrewise I go all funny and collapse at about 11am :D

But seriously it helps you to loose weight, it really helps with your concentration and it means you can train harder. Obviously heathy is best, I have found some really great museli recently full of fruit and nuts and stuff and that keeps me going for hours.

Oh yeah a must. If going out cycling, scrambled eggs on toast, vegetable juice,
and maybe a banana a few hours before I go, and I'm all set.

it's the most important

Breakfast is the best, brown rice, a tin of salmon at 05:30 in the morning does the job. Thing is you get used to it.



BTW Whats a Boonan? (Apart from the cyclist bloke).
