Do you run your car on empty? I am going to guess that you all answered no to that question. That being said, I have noticed a trend in a lot of the comments I’ve gotten with this Kellogg’s campaign. A lot of you tell me a whole lot of excuses of why you can’t eat breakfast. However, you would never run your car an empy, so why are you doing that to your body?
An observation that I have made about myself is that if I don’t eat breakfast I have a hard time getting done what I need done. I feel lethargic. Eating a good breakfast like Kellogg’s allows me to think about the task at hand instead of a grumbling stomach or thinking about what I should be eating later. That is why Tip #28 is such a good tip. It really tells you why you shouldn’t be skipping breakfast.
One of the rules in my house is that we eat breakfast. This was a rule my own mother had. There is no way to get out of this. It holds true during the week and the weekends. We always have breakfast. I always have a full pantry of Kellogg’s cereal, so my kids always have a choice for what they want to eat. Like me, I want to set my kids up for having a good day. I want them concentrating on their studies and not their growling bellies. My kids just got their report cards last week and got all A’s and B’s, so I’m doing something right!
If you still don’t have time for breakfast, just get up 15 minutes earlier. My kids can eat breakfast in less than 15 minutes (well, most mornings they can!), so take those 15 minutes to refuel yourself. If you need a prompt to reminder you to eat breakfast, take the box of cereal out and place it where you will see it in the morning.
How do you recharge for the day ahead? What do you eat for breakfast?

oh, corn flakes. yummmy. maybe i’ll have those to eat after my workout today!
We have cereal Fridays and Corn Flakes is a favorite here. Thanks for sharing, once summer months come cereal becomes more of a staple in our home. xo San
I love Korn Flkes! There is nothing like a yummy breakfast to keep you going all day!
I like a hot breakfast- mostly eggs. My husband is a big cereal eater! I always keep some in the house, especially for the kids.
Most days I like a hot breakfast too! I love breakfast burritos with eggs.
Breakfast is definitely the most important meal of the day for me. If I don’t start out with a healthy, solid breakfast I’ve noticed that I continue to eat poorly for the rest of the day. Getting a good start somehow gets me on a good track for the rest of the day (in terms of eating and getting things accomplished)!
That is one thing we always do in our house….eat breakfast! It’s just so important!
Breakfast is a must at our house too. I look forward to the time around the dining room table on the weekends since weekdays are always a rush!
We need to make a breakfast rule at out house. The kids are pretty good at eating it, but I am terrible. I always skip or forget it. :/
I’ve been on a smoothie kick for awhile. It’s a great way to get my fruits for the day in.
I eat breakfast each day. I like to eat Greek Yogurt and Whole Wheat toast.
I have trouble with breakfast. I’d like a better start to my day for sure
I use to skip breakfast but last month I started having a smoothie every day.
I’m a breakfast fanatic too – ANY meal of the day! And I’m spreading it to my kids. Now we have “cereal night” every once in a while, and they LOVE it. We’re HUGE Kellogg’s fans too! 🙂
Breakfast is so important.. I have forgotten about my childhood fave, Kellogs. thank you for the reminder!
Breakfast is so easy for me to skip, but so important for me! I love eating eggs and fresh juice the most 🙂
Breakfast is the most important meal and sadly I don’t eat breakfast . This definitely needs to be one of the changes that I make. Thanks for the post.
I really love corn flakes with some kind of fruit and a little bit of sugar. I think it is the perfect combination!
I eat breakfast to get my metabolism going and so I’m not exercising on an empty stomach at the gym.
Ughhh… and the meal I am most likely to skip. I’m not sure why. I know that I feel better when I start the day right with a good meal.
Corn Flakes is my favorite breakfast choice with some bananas on top. I also love that they can be used in an abundance of recipes.
Hi Lisa!
I like eating cereal in the morning. It’s actually a best idea for breakfast. I can save a lot of time to cook and it’s so easy to make a cup of cereals. Especially, cereal is also good for the elder!
I love your car analogy. I’m terrible about skipping breakfast, but looking at it as starting my day running on fumes helps me put that into perspective.
I always have cereal for breakfast. I like Frosted Mini Wheats the best.
My kids and husband eat cereal for breakfast, but I eat Greek yogurt.
Breakfast is important. My goal is to make sure I have breakfast everyday
We are a total MiniWheats family!!
I love eating cereal in the morning. My kids loves choosing from a variety so we always have many options on hand.
From dinner to lunch is far too long to go without fuel for the body. Breakfast is important!
I think the whole car analogy is a great way to relate to kids, ESPECIALLY KIDS, the important of eating breakfast every single morning before school. Breakfast is so important!
I agree with you about breakfast. I am always hassling the kids in the morning to make sure they eat before they go to school.
We never missing our morning bowl of cereal. My favorite!
I’m honestly pretty terrible at eating breakfast, but when I do I love cereal.
I love cornflakes! Usually, with my breakfast, I will add some sort of protein, a banana or something to go with my cereal.
I set the goal this year of eating breakfast daily. I am amazed at how much more energy i have and how much better I feel.
I definitely feel the same way when I don’t breakfast: lethargic and fatigued. I think I’m even more hungry with nursing and being pregnant when I skip meals. Never a good idea for me!
I try to eat breakfast every morning. I am not that good with this lately.
Oh, yummy corn flakes! It’s always great to start your day with Kellogg’s!
Love Kelloggs it’s our morning staple in our home!
Now that some of my kids are older, it’s hard to get them to eat in the morning before they leave. I’ve resorted to food they can carry along with them.
Breakfast is one meal I never skip!
I have to eat breakfast or I feel like I will pass out! I love cereal for breakfast
The meal that I’m more likely to skip. I do not know why. I know I feel better when I start the day with a excellent meal.
Corn flakes never run out in my house. My husband and my son love it! Of course it’s even better when you mix it up with a little bit of Frosted Flakes 🙂
We are a corn flakes family. So, healthy!
