Breakfast in Japan

I've been trying to get into the habit of eating breakfast...usually a bowl of cereal or bread. Normal stuff ^^

I could never skip my breakfast. xD

I can't possibly go without breakfast. I will become very cranky for the rest of the day.

Rice&viand or bread & milk tea or tea for me.

My breakfast would be anything I saw in the kitchen, probably not a good way having breakfast like that.

My favorite is bread with mushroom soup, I love hot stuff in the morning.

I have my breakfast together with lunch, it's called Brunch, LOL!

I usually eat breakfast at work... I get up so close to the time before I have to go. On other days I sleep in that I don't eat breakfast XD

Many times I never eat a proper breakfast, just one of those bar things with nuts and such. I never give myself enough time in the morning since I hate mornings. I do always prepare coffee though. Without it, I get a headache (and sometimes a migraine headache that has been so bad it has caused me to throw up in the past), get moody, and hate life. Being addicted to even a legal drug is something I don't recommend ^^; I have cut down though since it was causing my hands to be shaky. Used to drink 3-4 of the largest coffee's available (like 20ish oz (2.5cups, 590ish ml) each. Times that by 4 -_-;), per day. Now only 2-3, which gets me to functioning level.

So a bar and massive amounts of coffee probably isn't the best breakfast...

It depends on the food that I have on the kitchen. If it's something I don't really like, don't eat.
Or usually my breakfast was something from last night's leftover....

Breakfast.... usually waffles... bread slices are okay too, but bagels are better.

Can't eat cereal in the morning, since im weak to milk, esp when i just woke up. Unless Cereal + Water ? >_< Sounds gross, unless someone tried it before

I would like to have breakfast regularly but because I have to leave early in the morning during the week I never find the time. Sometimes I'm pressed to have lunch at the correct time as well. On weekends I tend to sleep in, waking up at close to lunch time.

would u like chili in your wonton noodles danny? ('~')

I usually skip breakfast because I never wake up in time for it... although next week when classes start I'll probably start eating a bit since I have a class at 8 AM -__-

Usually sleep thru breakfast. No wonder I look so nice and slim.

I miss the morning meal pretty often. Perhaps it would increase my productivity to try and obtain it more often. -_-

I thought Denny's had a decent breakfast menu, which I had during my trip to Japan.

You know what, it's probably too late for this, but Danny, seriously, TMI. I really don't need to hear about the status of your underwear in any of these stories. Thanks anyway, though.

I found it pretty hard to find breakfast in Tokyo...
lol I ended up stocking up on bread, canned foods and some snacks to eat each morning. Rather than eat Mcdonalds or some other fastfoods.

I need to eat breakfast before work to keep my energy up...but I sleep through it on weekends...

Usually do grab breakfast - have to, or I starve hours before lunch time. ^^; If I don't have enough time, I grab a can of V8 vegetable juice and that usually holds me over until I can grab a snack during break.

Of course, the exception is when I get to stay home and sleep in. Hard to grab breakfast when your earliest wake up time is 1:00pm. ^^;

I don't think I've had breakfast for the past 6 years.

;_;

University breakfast choices are often pretty bad, so I tend to skip it even though I probably do have enough time to eat one. =(

When I was in Japan, I had melon pan for breakfast each day from a bakery in Shinjuku Station. Back home, I usually have cereal for breakfast. Sometimes I'll cut up some banana to put on top of the cereal. Other times I'll actually fix a breakfast sandwich with egg, bacon, and cheese on a bagel. If I skip a meal, it's usually lunch instead of breakfast.

im begining a rice+furikake breakfast 'thing'

Better than fibrous sugar mixed with milk

As a person who now has nothing but classes from 7:00 to 16:00, I pretty much skip breakfast and lunch together as I don't have time for it.. I usually chow down a snack when I get home followed by dinner soon after.

I will always have my breakfast every morning unless there is really nothing for me to eat.
However, my breakfast is mostly bread and milk^^

No breakfest for me either, Well, I do eat as soon as I get into work. But thats more around lunch time.
And a brekkie place in Japan sounds like a business opportunity!

Here most people prefer instant noodles, chicken porridge or fried rice for breakfast, but I'm used to gulping down toast and jam.

I have to say that the choice of nendroid in the first shot is so appropriate. Rin looked like she just cut your bread.

I skipped breakfast through most of high school and college. My senior year of college I started eating breakfast and have kept it up since graduating. Now I can't go without it! Usually I have cereal or toast with jam. On the weekends I go to a coffee shop around the corner that makes breakfast sandwiches. It's a bagel of your choice plus egg, and choice of cheese and meat. I usually get whole wheat bagel with American cheese and sausage. SOOO GOOOOD!

Breakkie is a must for mw or I'll be brain dead for most of the day... And I'm in the design line of work... >,<

Had been having breakfast almost every morning nowadays, but use to skip that when I was young.

I can still go without breakfast, but not without a cup of coffee or else I will most likely be very tired and in a bad mood >_<

By the way, the bouncing rice bowl is very cute ^o^

Sad I can't really eat breakfest=.= not just I dont have time, but every time I ate breakfest I have to go the restroom, while in class. And thats pretty much impossible for me, because my teacher is a..... And some time gives me stomach ache ==

My mom makes me some kind of mixed vegetables and fruits juice and that consist as a breakfast for me ^^;

In Japan, I try to eat breakfast as much as I can. Sometimes I eat at Matsuya like described above but I usually eat toasts, eggs and milk/orange juice since the place I stay provide those foods. I actually feel I'm more healthy in Japan than I do in USA, maybe because I do eat breakfast all the time @_@

Breakfast for me most days are rolled oats sprinkled with raisins.

Sometimes, will eat kaya toast with eggs breakfast set or a plate of fried noodles/beehoon with some additional item.

Used to eat breakfast at 6am plus during my 2 year stint in the Singapore Armed Forces.

i get very hungry if i miss breakfast, so i never skip it. even if i get late i make it a point to have a sandwich or an egg omlette or some biscuits and coffee. ofcourse there are a lot of nutritious indian breakfast foods which can be made with as little ingredients in about half an hour and can fill up a stomach, but i dont bother to do those.

Hmmm I don't eat breakfast regularly but I drink milk tea almost every morning ^^; does it count? :P

I love traditional Japanese breakfasts! Such a learning experience when I stayed in Japan. We chose to stay at places that served breakfast, figured it was easier than hunting down food first thing in the morning. I actually liked it more than the "American" breakfast we had in Tokyo.

Wouldn't Mister Donut and some of the great pastry shops also count as breakfast places in Japan? Does Starbucks there have bagels and muffins like they do in the US? Curious since I didn't go in one there.

Breakfast? Noo!
After 2 hours I can eat something. But not direclty after I wake up.

My breakfast is usually a glass of milk or a fruit, not that healthy but it works for me.

I get up. Have a Cheerios type cereal with soy milk (and sometimes with fresh blueberries on top) and a large glass of orange juice. Then go to the gym. Almost every day.

I NEVER skip breakfast and lunch but I do skip dinner occasionally, breakfast and lunch are important to keep me alive and awake LOL!.

I haven't eaten breakfast for years now the only time I sit down to have breakfast is on a Sunday morning, I might take a slice of toast or take an apple with me on the way out to school or work but not too often. I usually have a big lunch between either 11-1pm so really only 2 meals a day.

It's been awhile since I ate breakfast in the morning, especially since I sleep in most of the time now. But I used to have mostly ham and eggs with toast and orange juice. Other than that, cereal was the morning staple. Hmm... I do kinda miss eating breakfast. Might consider waking up early just for it.

lol I want that cup

Coffee! If I dot get it soon, you might as well stay away from me for a while. lol Usually a bowl of oatmeal and yogurt.

There's always breakfast in my household but what it is varies quite alot. One day it's something light like fruit and toast to heavier meals like bacon, eggs, baked beans on toast. Although I have breakfast, most of the time i'm eating it while on my walk to school. >>

Now I'm getting hungry. D:

Hmm, usually some waffles, bowl of rice, or regular Udon.

Rice in the morning? yuck. Where's the flavor in that?

I ALWAYS eat breakfast, even if I wake up at 4PM. Admittedly, I mainly eat cereal but I change it up every now and then. I love morning pastries!

The Hyatt in Shinjuku ain't bad either on the breakfast, they even have spagetti bolognese there! (back then it was my favorite dish so uh yea... lol)

Anyhow, my usual breakfast consist of a bread roll with nutella (sort of chocolate cream) or some meaty stuff, depending on what i feel like.
Also a hot chocolate to drink with it, i don't like coffee and someone once said orange juice is bad in the morning cause the acid in it.

If i manage to stop by the japanese "Bakery my Heart" then ofc i go for a yakisobapan, melonpan and a choco coronet which i spread over the morning. ^^; The Yakisobapan there can varry if they have something else interesting up. Sometimes i take some anpan too, but it's not really a favorite of mine.

My favourite breakfast would be a McDonalds one. (^.^;)

Breakfast is the only meal worth eating on my ship. Sadly, most days, I am asleep for breakfast. Like today, I will have dinner and midrats for my meals of the day. Supplemented by lots of snacking on oreos and Japanese coffees from the ship's store. So nutritious. ^^;

On a rare occasion when I'm actually inport, if out in Japan, they have 2 main places to get something to eat even if it's 5:30 in the morning. I usually go to Matsuya's for a beefbowl but there is another place that is similar to Denny's not too far from there. I go there if I want a traditional Japanese breakfast.

I think the commercial with the bowl would have me going for breakfast every day..

I somehow can't eat much during breakfast 'cos I'd feel sick easily. >.>
However, I do eat breakfast and I have to eat something, even if it's small.

Usually it's just toast. Before I had cereal but now, somehow, it's been toast lately.

I can't function without breakfast! Usually need a bowl of hot or cold cereal before I do anything.

My hostels in Tokyo said to serve a light breakfast for 300¥ or else I'll stock up the day before or something, no worries but I HAVE to eat a good breakfast else I get dangerously moody.

I rarely have breakfast... I should do so more often. That might be why I never have energy and dont remember things well. Interesting, I didnt know about the connection before.

I couldn't survive till lunch time without eating 'breakfast' - i would faint at work XD
sadly breakfast isn't that fancy over here in Holland, it's always bread.

I have a breakfast every morning, but I can't eat any heavy food that early, no bread, no ham, and so on. I would feel sick. That's why I always eat some yogurt.

>Do you regularly eat breakfast?
Yep, every morning, can't go without it.

A cup of green tea with two delicious slices of pork, coated with cheese, within a gorgeous type of bread we have'ere in Spain: mollete de Antequera. If I'm in a hurry then is tea only.
Many workers or students just don't have time to eat at home before arriving at their torture center, so the usual thing is to make a stop around 10:00 AM to go out looking for a cafe in which unleash your hunger.

If the Japanese Health Minister wants his population to eat breakfast he should arrange it so they don't have an each-way commute of over an hour every day.

When I'm in Japan we usually have salad, toast, fruit, jam, and sometimes an egg or bacon. It's nice and healthy but it does mean getting up at 5:30 a.m. to get it and catch the train early enough to get my daughter to school on time. Her school has an early start, and we live about 75 minutes away, door to door commute.

This sounds long but lots of Japanese have an even longer journey.

Back in London I'm lucky because my official start time is 9 o'clock. If I leave the house at 8, I will be on time unless there is a train delay. The office has a very nice cafe which serves cooked breakfast, cereals, pastries and so on. If I miss my proper breakfast I can easily make it up.

I hardly eat breakfast, but i do nowadays, with 2 slices of bread :P

I need my breakfast too, if not i will be super restless. However, holidays are exceptions. =P

I rarely eat in mornings since I feel sick when I eat in the morning, although I do drink coffee.

I never ate breakfast before until I started dieting and changed my food.
I feel more energetic with breakfast and now don't want to skip ever again!
Usually eat 2 slices of bread and some yoghurt if I'm not too full.

Breakfast IS The Most Important Meal of the day . I think they should eat there breakie in time . Rice with Pickle sounds yummy to me ^_^ .

Usually Breakfast here is Nasi Lemak , Cereal , Bread with Jam , Half Boiled Egg and such .

Cereal or toast everyday. Sometimes even a fried egg sandwich. Couldn't go without brekkie.

LOL at that older brother not having breakfast, and as a result, he's already having hallucinations of her sister constantly badgering him to have breakfast at once.

It's a pain for me to have breakfast, so I don't have it very often. A lot of breafast-type foods tend to make me ill, so the only choice I really have is dry toast... which can get a little bland after having it every morning ^^;

I'd die without my brekkie. 2 slices o' bread and a cuppa thea to start me up every day ^^

I hardly have any time to make a decent breakfast. More often than not, I tend to grab some poptarts or granola bar for an on-the-go brekkie

I dont think i have eaten breakfast in atleast half a year. I usually stay up until 5am and wake up at 1pm and eat dinner with a bunch of snacks so i dont think that really counts.

>>Results further down the page show that folks who skip brekkie get agitated easily and don't have motivation to do stuff.

I agree. I skip brekkie too btw xD

Morning coffee has serious side effects, like when it gets you in the subway or other place where toilets are clean as your shoes after coming out of a pigsty...
Eating a good breakfast is really good and healthy, didn't care for a long time but finally the habit got in and I started to feel less tired day by day.

Plus a smile like the girl's one is a good incentive. :)

I either have a few bowls of muesli or a few slices of toast with Nutella :-P

I don't like skipping breakfast however I'm very picky with what I eat. I usually only eat eggs and rice :D

I've only started eating breakfast on a regular basis like a year ago and I feel/see the benefits. I take it at the office, usually an apple, crackers and tea/coffee. I used to have cereal in the morning but noticed it made me sleepy.

Do eat breakfast, but will still be hungry in the morning. =_=

Depends on what I'm doing: through the week I generally grab a couple of slices of toast on the way out the door (those people you see in animes running up the street, toast in mouth and still putting on shoes: that's me) or if it's a particularly early start then I'll grab a breakfast wrap from HJs, not healthy but it fills the gaps.

Oh and coffee, I'd die without my morning coffee, need at least two to make me civilised :P

Weekends it's bacon and eggs with a hashbrown and grilled tomato, a coffee and the paper... weekend breakfast is sacred.

Traditional italian breakfast... cappuccino+cornetto!

just add vegetable juice in breakfast and everything is bacchiri OK Σｄ(＞▽＜

i think its a load of bullcrap

i never ate BEFORE school, but in the first break, which is very very common I think
I did very good in school

in the first 1-2 hours you cant concentrate anyway because youre so sleepy

I've had a routine every morning for the past I don't know how many years having cereal and a coffee every morning.
If I don't have them I feel really bad during the day and get really, really hungry late at night and gorge on anything.

I m barely eat my breakfast !^^;

Depend on what I buy but usually contain of Breads, jam and some hot drinks. Sometimes will cook instant noodles or spaggheti.

I just had breakfast.Eggs and toast is a great way to start the day.

I try to eat a full breakfast whenever I can, but when school starts at 8am everyday (and I have to leave home at 6), I can only manage a small piece of bread down usually (I tend to feel sick if I eat a full breakfast before 9am). Well, that should count for something I hope...

Hardly ever eat bkfst and get lunch around 2pm. Find it hard to eat until my brain has been emptied.

Time to change the habit and start eating properly.

I never skip breakfast, but at the same time I've never been able to stomach a cooked breakfast (bacon, eggs, sausage, etc.) so I stick to something milder like cereal or toast.

I usually have some fruit yoghurt with crunchy muesli and in weekends I also have natto (yes, really) and rice. When I was in Japan I stayed at a Weekly Mansion in Osaka for a week where you had to take care of your own meals, so I went to a conbini every evening and got some stuff for breakfast for the next morning.

"Results further down the page show that folks who skip brekkie get agitated easily and don't have motivation to do stuff."

That kinda rings a bell XD I'm just not hungry at the hour that I wake up, so I don't eat. But I do notice that when I get amount of food in the morning I'm more focused throughout the day. It's just kinda a bother sometimes XD

as a fulltime uni student or on weekends I usually skip breakfast, because I wake up around noon, so have lunch instead... when I'm at work, I just eat @ work, hot espresso and two slices of thick raisin toasts with peanut butter spreads, sometimes butter with Vegemite...

I always find myself eating a bacon and egg mcmuffin at maccas in the mornings after the uni lectures...LOL. But if it's the weekend...milo and buttered toast with a cheese slice on top are my breakfast! <3

I have to eat breakfast or I will get drained before the afternoon. Just a nice bowl of cereal that I get from Costco and some milk and I am pretty much set until lunch time.

I also skip breakfast, but I eat dinner really late. Does that count as breakfast?
Anyway, I manage to stay alert in class even thought I skip breakfast.

I try to eat at least something everyday in the morning. Usually, I grab some toast, fruit, yogurt, cheese, PBJ, or something like that with a cup of fresh sencha. If I have time, I will make myself eggs and toast. If my mother cooks on a holiday then bacon, pancakes, eggs, and toast is served. I tried the rice and miso in the morning once WITH coffee and that was a big mistake ^_^ Breakfast is an afforadable meal where I am from and usually a very nice breakfast will run you about $5-15 USD depending on what you drink and eat ^_^ Just now I had PBJ, cheese, and a hot cup of sencha green tea ^^

I skip breakfast usually when I wake up late... or when I don't feel like it. Which is pretty bad Dx

A-ha! So my parents were right! They always insisted I started the day by having breakfast. And it works!! Whenever I skipped it, I felt down, demotivated and got angry very easily. Thanks for posting, Danny.

I always eat breakfast, most important meal of the day! Few years back used to only eat a bit of yogurt but found I was often tired and famished well before noon. Now I eat a decent sized healthy breakfast, most often 4 slices of toast, some other type of bread buns or a good sandwich. It isn't too much but a solid meal that powers me for the day!

I don't really like eating in the morning, but it's like a necessity. I know that I'll have a better day at school if I eat breakfast. Around here, we have the Quebec Breakfast Club which provides an healthy breakfast each morning to elementary school students who can't afford to eat before going to school, it has a huge impact on their concentration in class and their results are way better.

I try to eat a bowl of oatmeal with dried cranberries, blueberries, raisins on top with a dose of flaxseed--really healthy so I won't feel so bad for the rest of the day when I eat my junk food.

I do not eat breakfast. When I was in the army, they would serve breakfast after physical training and eating after exercising for an hour two was enough to make me sick. I never could get back to eating in the morning... still make my stomach feel queasy.

I usually drink coffee and water until lunch time. But I do eat lunch and dinner. Maybe have a snack right before I go to bed... I am not very good to myself ^_^;;

I do my best not to miss out on breakfast. Usually just fruits, oatmeal and coffee for me. Every now and then though I go for McDee's Big Breakfast or Sausage Mcmuffin with egg.

Well, well...being italian as I am, breakfast is something I've always had since I was a kid. These days, though, my breakfast usually is like this:
coffee: I woke up, I need my daily fix of caffeine. Then some TV news, so I can move to...
tea [with biscuits]: I can't do without.
Later in the morning, also, I usually go to a cafè for a 2nd coffee and a cream puff or two.
I domt drink any milk, though. I know it's bad, but what can I say, I don't like it anymore:-\

i normally skip breakfast and its normally just a cup of coffee if necessary. i'm just too lazy to get breakfast and of course the working environment has a share of the blame for this.....

I always eat something when I get up! Breakfast is the best meal. So many choices of tasty food! XD

tuna bread for breakfast is just wad i need!

if I dont eat breakfast, I am hungry THE WHOLE DAY!

I usually eat, just basic, like a bowl of Corn Flakes, and a fruit or something. People should remember to take a multivitamin with their breakfast as well, very important. :D

Breakfast is one of the three best times of the day. The other two of course is lunch and dinner. ^^

My breakfast normally consists of a couple of cereal bara and some cold green tea ... normally eaten at my desk when I get to work.

I agree...getting breakfast there is difficult...although these days....i am skipping a lot because my timing is always off....

I always eat breakfast (assuming I dont oversleep haha) which consists of bread and butter, eggs and oj. Might not be the best, but its quick to prepare and its pretty good. If I do oversleep, I grab a fuze drink from the fridge and a granola bar. If I dont eat breakfast, I feel slow haha.

I can skip breakfast, but I must have TEA! Tea is like petrol for the day. Will be half-asleep without it!

For breakfast, I usually eat some turkey sausage, a bowl of cereal, two waffles and/or two pop tarts, two granola bars and a banana.

I always skip breakfast find it hard to stay awake in school on a full stomach. =/

I never skip breakfast, even when i don't eat at home, there's a coffee shop in every corner or so.

Most of the time I just grab a few pieces of Toast before I head off to work. But on the days off it ususally consists of 1-2 eggs some toast and some rice if I make some. Then when I have Oranges I add those to the mix as well.

I usually skip breakfast and wait for lunch to fill up. ^^; When I do eat breakfast, its usually either a bowl of cereal or a doughnut with a glass of milk.

I really need my breakfast, otherwise so hungry and distracted for the whole morning. However, I only manage a bowl of cereal which means I am still hungry for most of the morning. I do then end up eating a few cereal bars so that helps.

On weekends though I sometimes make something nice like pancakes or scrambled eggs on toast.

For me, breakfast in the morning is fruit or fruit juice.

The stomach produces different kinds of acids at different times, which are more adept at digesting different things. In the mornings, especially if I have to get up early, fruit is much easier to digest!

A little while later, if I have time, I'll move up to proteins and complex carbohydrates.

Well, since 1999 my breakfast has been 95% cereal, 4.8% other, 0.2% skip.

I probably don't get the right nutrition on weekday mornings. A bagel and a coffee and I'm out the door.
Weekends, I eat quite well. Sausage/ham, scrambled eggs, grilled tomatoes, fresh fruits, and an assortment of jams on whatever grain good I fancy/have at the moment.

Also never understood how people eat rice/noodles/etc. in the morning. Too heavy for my weak morning stomach.

I used to just skip breakfast, but now I always have a bowl of Cheerios for breakfast.

I always try to eat breakfast, but sometimes I just don't have time (or sometimes I wake up so late that I might as well have lunch). Every morning I like to have a bagel with a cup of juice on the side.

always eat breakfast even if I have no time there is a slice of bread! I agree, it is very important for little gnashers to have some morning brekkies for their tests. Skiddy pants! lol! I like pancakes if I have time or good old toast and coffee usually.

日本人がおコメを食べなくなったのは、小麦が海外から安く輸入できるからですｗｗ
しかも国内のコメ作は、年々減少傾向で、価格も安くなりません。

日本の農林水産省の行政が悪いからというのもあります。
戦後、自民党や農協システムがコメ作農家に補助金を出したけど、農家は豊かにならず、駄目にしてしまったとも言われています。

結果、農家に夢はなくなり跡継ぎは減り、過疎化・・・コメを食べる人が減るのはあたりまえですねｗ
悲しいことですが・・・・

I try to eat brekkie even to the risk of arriving late ^^U I also learnt some time ago that breakfast is the most important meal, and indeed when I skip it I end up eating too much at lunch and feeling lethargic the whole day.

I disagree with such tasteless meal as rice with a tomatoe on top, that's not substantial enough for me.

i started eating breakfast regularly 8 years ago when I decided to do something about weighing 350 pounds. Structured diet and exercise, all that stuff the doctors tell us to do. :) I now weigh 200 pounds and eat breakfast every morning with my wife and daughter.

Weekdays it is either cereal, toast or biscuits with some kind of fruit side.
Weekends, it is pancakes, or french toast or something else that takes more time.

Breakfast is a must for me with usual teh tarik or milo , roti canai r nasi lemak , Ipoh Hor fun r plain chee fun with tau fu fah XD

A cup of milk and few pieces of bread and biscuits for breakkie

when i was in japan- bread for breakfast, it ranges too drastically back here
heres an idea- put vending machines filled with baked goods and other breakfast stuff at the stations
or better yet- make eating while walking/moving acceptable

I can't eat anything before 9, o so I think I cos haven't tried it in 3 years. I used to throw up or get a feeling I will if I eated somethign in the morning. It could be that I stress in the morning so much or something. I usually leave just in the last minute.

my breakfast is usually sardines or ham and eggs. and always with rice. drink of choice is of course, coffee. can't start the day without a jolt of caffeine. ^^

Noodle with egg for my breakfast. Without egg for noodle i will go mad xD. BTW nice cup

Eat breakfast in the morning, It is one of the most important thing you can do ><. I eat breakfast an hour before I wake up, to make sure my metabolism in functioning properly

The first thing I do in the mornings is eat breakfast, even if it is only two slices of bread ^^

If I have time and - more importantly - money, I get up extra early on weekdays and hit a breakfast buffet to start the day off. I do penance by drinking lunch - not THAT way - more of Milo/Ovaltine/tea/milk tea.

Breakfasts in the Philippines usually take the form of fried rice+fried egg+viand, or bread+hot drink, or cereal+milk. And then we have a wealth of sweeties to choose from, like various kinds of rice cakes and native snacks.

And then, yeah, sometimes we settle for eating last night's leftovers.

Would kill to have a proper Full English Breakfast like once every two or three weeks, but no one makes or sells that here.

If I didn't have breakfast my energy would flag halfway through the day, and I would get cranky at work too. Have had enough of skipping the first meal when I was in school; learned my lesson - not doing that any more.

Have breakfast at work, every member of staff has a bowl of fruit every morning, only trouble being the youngest member is that ive got to do all the preparing.

i never eat breakfast and i am beginning to suspect it may be at the root of most of the world's problems. or at least my problems with the world.

I eat bread every morning when I wake up. It's usual just two slices because if I eat more then my (still sleeping) stomach will return the stuff I ate too much >_<
As I get my body into the day I get hungry and eats again and this is usually like 2 hours after I woke up. Luckily I'm in a possision where I can eat whenever I'm hungry (I imagine say busdrivers can't). This means that I can end up eating at 8, 10, 12, 15 and then go home for dinner. If I eat more rarely than that I go hungry and going hungry without eating gives me a headache quite fast. I tend to pack food when I leave home and have it in a cooled bag. That way it will stay fresh all day and I will not depend on finding eatable stuff for sale, which is often less healthy and way more expensive. I also encountered once that I were the only one to get real food to eat due to this strategy. The 3 places in town selling eatable stuff had either closed, had sold out or only candy. So much for encouraging public heath O_O

Many people will not believe me when I say eating makes you thin. The reason why it works is that if the body gets enough energy when it needs it, it will not make a depot to deal with a hunger later on. If the body learns that you are unable to find food when you are hungry, then it better store all the energy it can when you finally finds something. Great ability for prehistoric people, bad for modern world.
The other reason is that if you want to lose weight and you skip breakfast to avoid eating, then you grow hungry and ends up buying fast food/candy at say 10 O'clock. That single candybar makes you more fat than an entire proper breakfast ^^

I can't eat brekfast. Eating soon after I wake up makes me feel quite unwell. I can't eat until after lunch time usually.

Always eat breakfast;can't imagine a day without it! Simply two eggs,bread and orange juice.

I skip breakfast mainly because I don't eat much.

Danny, do you eat 納豆 for breakfast?

For those who don't eat breakfast in the morning, give it a try for a week or two. you'll definitely see and feel the difference. I'm actually in the process of a major detox diet/change of lifestyle myself.
Used to drink 50 units of alcohol a week, 30 cigarettes a day, 4-5 hours sleep a night and definitely no breakfast in the morning, just a mash of mcdonalds and junk food throughout the day and then a really heavy dinner. managed to gain 30 pounds in less than a year!
now eating healthier, cut down majorly on alcohol and cigarettes and also increased to 8 hours sleep a night. shedding the pounds, having more energy and hopefully will be able to virtually take part in the nike+ 10k run at the end of next month (i say virtual as nike's not hosting it in hkg).

There are still no YouTube videos in your RSS feed :(

When I have time or feel like cooking, I usually make scrambled eggs with onions, bell peppers, garlic, mushrooms, a choice of meat (like ham, lamb, or turkey), shredded cheddar and some salsa on the side. All that served together with once slice of toast and some very hot tea. That combo alone keeps me full til late afternoon. On days I don't want to be bothered with all that it's a mini bagel with spicy mustard, slice of turkey and tea again OR Japanese rice w/ furikake or a small bit of salmon. That's how I roll.

I don't eat much when uni awaits but I need definitely something to eat in the morning.

There are plenty of cafes to have breakfast in. I often went to Vie de France - there is a nice branch just next to Akihabara station (though the best one I've seen so far is in Kyoto station B2F) and to Excelsior Cafe or Doutor if I couldn't find a Vie de France.

I can have anything for breakfast... even fried stuff, though if I don't watch what I eat later on I'll pay for it at night, LOL.

Could never go without breakfast. Even if there's nothing prepared, I'd just fry an egg and get two pieces of bread. Breakfast complete.

I eat breakfast every day. Rice, Miso-soup, natto, and banana.

One odd thing about me is that I do love toasted bagels with chive cream or toasted english muffins with butter & peanut butter... I just eat them as a breakfast/lunch during weekends. Otherwise I almost NEVER eat a proper breakfast early in the day.

I've tried eating breakfast in the past but somehow, I never really get hungry until about 3-4 hours after waking up. I like eating early lunch and dinners better. Studies have shown that people who eat breakfast tend to be at the correct weight but for me, when I ate breakfast, I got fatter.

I guess breakfast just ain't for me. I also suspect I would rather sleep than spend the time eating breakfast. Despite getting up at 545 AM every morning when going to school, I never became a morning person...

I'm a little late to party on this one but I gotta say just came back from Tokyo and brekkies was one of many reasons I wanted to stay. Morning seto at Cafe La Voie in Shinjuku http://www.kadoya-hotel.co.jp/la_voie/ has 6 different sets for around 880yen. That's about right for a Denny's brekkie state side but the food there was so much better. I can vouch for both the Japanese set (rice porridge, pickled kale, ameboshi and salty baked salmon) and the french toast set. Very tasty.

Here at home in the US I usually eat cereal or rice with milk and sugar plus a cup of tea. Seriously cannot function without the tea and if I don't eat with it I get the shakes and everything goes very badly from then on. If it's a weekend the hubster and I will go out for a big brekkie around noonish that lasts us most of the day. That way in the evening we can go be hip and trendy or some junk and hit the tapas/beer bar for a snack and a drinky poo. Gotta love a thinly veiled excuse for a little drink on the weekends.

well..for me danny..its up and down..i get up..eat or..i forget it because i woke up late and i have to rush too school..

lol but..what i eat...whole wheat.bread..or i make a egg...thats it..at times..i dont even eat and just eat lunch as my breakfast

I eat a bacon sandwich every morning when I get up. Every other Friday when I get paid at work, I start out having a bacon sandwich and then I go to Tudor's and have a Peppi. Then I go to work. For those who do not know what a Peppi is, they take a biscuit and slice it in half like making a sandwich, then they put Cheddar Cheese Sauce and slices of Pepperoni in between. They are extremely delicious and habbit forming. Anyone who knows what a Peppi is will know exactly what I mean.

one slash of bread is enough for me

Breakfast = Bread with butter and marmalade + juice (I don't like coffee!)

It's quite easy to grab breakfast with a drink here in the US. Americans are big on their coffee of course and love their carbs. On my visit to Japan I did notice breakfast was a big difficult to find. I would usually head for the first cafe I see but some cafes didn't even serve food till a certain time.

In my country it's pretty easy getting a decent breakfast at 7/11 or at a bakery.
I mostly eat breakfast because the lack of it makes me pissy.

I guess I am just an odd case I am a "morning person" as in I enjoy being up early. When I am I love to either purchase or preferably cook my own breakfast. However I am more of a night owl than anything so I rarely get to bed at a decent time and therefore I usually end up skipping breakfast in order to make it to where ever I have to be (usually classes) on time.

i wish i was in japan, i would love bentos and nice japanese breakfest.

i'm the worst at catching breakfast,... usually it's a croissant on the go and some juice. I really can't get out of bed early enough to cook up anything. When I was in japan I'd usually get an onigiri or two from the local conbini

I have a nice place to do breakfast. Do it in Indian style. Very tasty and healthy. You will love it. For new bees, I am giving some tips. Idli ( a cake of rice & dal ) dipped in Sambhar along with a handful of Coconut Chutney will put your stomach on fire. Try it.
