If you eat dinner at 7PM and only eat lunch at 12PM, that is 17 hours without food! When a baby is born we feed them every 2 hours, slowly increasing that time. How did we grow up to not eat for 2/3rds of the day?
When you eat breakfast in the morning your body is less likely to be hungry. When I didn't eat breakfast I would sit for hours of misery until noon when I would have lunch. Also, your blood sugar levels are affected for not eating for that long and you tend to want to eat more (which is more $$$). You can easily come up with a regiment of breakfasts that cost about $5 per week.
Here are some tips for finding a good breakfast:
- Poptarts (generic at Walmart are 4 pairs for $1.50)
- Cereal (generic box is $2-3 and will last you about a week)
- Toast (quick, easy, $1 per loaf is good for a week)
- Donuts (probably not the healthiest but at my grocery store after 8PM I get mine $3 per dozen)
- Oatmeal ($2-3 per box of 10, get the variety pack to mix it up a little)
- Eggs ($2 per dozen, fry them up quick)
Most of these are good for work. Bring a bowl or buy a special egg cooker to go in the microwave.
