For me, eating breakfast jumpstarts my metabolism and gets me going, sets the stage for the rest of my day, I always eat breakfast, I eat a variety of foods, hot oatmeal cereal, cold cereal, yogurt, eggs on toast, I always eat 1 piece of fruit with whatever else I'm eating for breakfast along with 1 cup of cranberry juice and coffee... for posting...

I have breakfast every day. In the winter it's always oatmeal or oat bran hot cereal. In summer I choose a cold cereal that's high in fiber. I feel more alert all morning when I eat breakfast.

For many years I was a hit or miss breakfast eater. In the past two years I have not missed a breakfast. I can feel the difference and like the feeling......not that winter is upon us and our temperatures will be dropping I always have oatmeal.

After a night without food, your body needs refueling to get through the next day. "Think about the word 'breakfast,'" says Tallahassee, Fla.-based dietitian Evette O'Connor, MS, RD. "It literally means to 'break your fast,' the 8 or 10 hours your body has gone without food. When you don't eat breakfast, your body has to call upon other nutritional stores in order to function. It's just like your car. You can't drive without gas, and your body won't function properly without replenishing its fuel."

Adequately fueling your body has indirect benefits. People who skip breakfast often feel more tired, irritable, and restless in the morning. People who eat breakfast have a better attitude toward work, more strength and endurance, and better concentration — all of which are crucial to sticking with a diet and an exercise program.

"People often say that they get hungry more often if I eat breakfast,' but that's a good thing," says O'Connor. "It means your metabolism is up and going, which means your body is burning fuel, or calories. And because eating gives you energy, you feel better and are more likely to be able to fight the urge to overeat."
