It's been like this since high school. Back then I did not enjoy having big breakfasts on school mornings. Now, I have a summer job requiring me to get up even earlier than high school did. Now, I have less of an appetite for breakfast on work mornings, and my mom is becoming concerned. Is this normal?
Your Mom is being a typical mother, but she really doesn't need to be concerned. Being well-hydrated is particularly important in the summer and especially so if you're doing manual labour in the heat, but skipping breakfast is not going to hurt you. As long as you don't feel like you have low energy levels before you eat lunch, it's not a problem.
Breakfast is a cultural thing, and in some societies it's normal not to have anything to eat before noon. "The most important meal of the day," line is nothing more than an advertising slogan dreamed up by someone trying to sell us more sugary crap.
Some scientists think that going without food for at least twelve hours in every twenty-four is good for our gut flora, and helps our pancreas regulate blood-sugar levels. I haven't had breakfast for years, and when I started making a point of not eating for at least twelve hours a day, I started to slowly head for a healthier weight.
If your body urgently needs energy, you'll feel hungry and a lack of energy. Trust your body and listen to it. Thank your mother for her concern, but tell her that you're just fine, thanks.
Same. Being woken up by an obnoxious alarm can throw your body off because your sleep cycle has been interrupted. While when you get to wake up naturally your body is well rested and is more prepared for breakfast. Something like that.
Normal I would say. It depends on the individual. I eat breakfast every morning but my roommate wife does not.
I don't often eat breakfast either. Usually I will have only one or two cups of coffee and be fine until dinner.
