Family Forum / Parenting / Mothers / January 2008Breakfast
Hi Moms out there! I'm curious how Moms feel about breakfast for themselves when they can have so many other priorities in the morning. Here are a few specific questions - if any of them spark your interest comment below. I'd love to get a better understanding. Thanks! - What is your ideal weekday breakfast? - Why, if ever, do you skip breakfast? How could a new breakfast product help you skip less often? What would it need to be like? - How often do you personally drink milk? When do you drink it? - How important is breakfast to you? Very important, somewhat important, not too important, not at all important? Why do you say that? > Hi Moms out there! > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > important, not too important, not at all important? Why do you say > that? I suspect this going to end up in spamming but for the sake of conversation i'll answer. I eat breakfast every day otherwise I turn into a grumpy old mare. Have the same things most days - home-made museli and home-made yogurt with fruit. two cups of tea and a glass of juice. Breakfast products do not figure into my life, I can have tastier food for cheaper.

Thanks! hey, let me get some free market research. > - What is your ideal weekday breakfast? leftovers > - Why, if ever, do you skip breakfast? if i forget i haven't eaten. i never eat breakfast before 9am, usually 10am because breakfast any earlier, particularly traditional breakfast foods, remind me of having to go to school & i throw them up. yeah, i have deep psychological scars from public school... ;) > How could a new breakfast product help you skip less often? > What would it need to be like? i'm imagining something like TV dinners of leftovers. ew. > - How often do you personally drink milk? by itsself? hmm. not very often. it goes into lots of things, like making yogurt, smoothies, coffee, cream soups... > How important is breakfast to you? more than supper really. when i remember to eat. > Very important, somewhat important, not too important, not > at all important? Why do you say that? ok, important. oh, that wasn't a choice. somewhat important. and eating around 10 am means i can skip lunch because i just ate. lee <hates sandwiches too> > - What is your ideal weekday breakfast? Cold pizza, Cold Lasagna, cold spaghetti > - Why, if ever, do you skip breakfast? Because I have to eat 1 hour before taking my nexium and if I don't take it in the morning it almost never gets taken later in the day. How could a new breakfast > product help you skip less often? If it contained Nexium What would it need to be like? Cold Lasagna > - How often do you personally drink milk? Depends. How much fat does it contain? Dairy is only worth it if in pizza or lasagna or chocolate milk.. but never milk for breakfast. Makes me queasy. When do you drink it? After breakfast.. usually at night though > - How important is breakfast to you? not at all important? Why do you say that? Because I don't have a personal cook and sometimes I am too lazy to eat. :P >> - What is your ideal weekday breakfast? > >Cold pizza, Cold Lasagna, cold spaghetti Now "Katie.s.co" will have to work on getting pizza and pasta in a breakfast bar hee hee Banty > In article > <tumdnTepo8so5BDanZ2dnUVZ_uOmnZ2d@centurytel.net>, Tori M.

(it would be the > seventh circle of hell for me yeeeech :-P nah, breakfast bars have HFCS. i don't eat that. besides, a pizza breakfast bar would be a calzone & those already exist :) would you eat a spaghetti calzone if we heated it up for you? lee >> In article <Xns9A276344C4C10enigmaempirenet@199.125.85.9>, >> enigma says...

No - sounds like starchy overload. Yuk. Banty >- What is your ideal weekday breakfast? nothing. I begin eating at lunchtime. >- Why, if ever, do you skip breakfast? I skip everyday because eating in the mornings makes me extremely sleepy and if I eat before about 11am I get an awful headache and have to go to sleep. >How could a new breakfast >product help you skip less often? I doubt anything could help! > What would it need to be like? It just needs to be like 11am or so. >- How often do you personally drink milk? When do you drink it? I drink milk about once a month, the night before I start my period. I have a terrible craving for it, I drink about 2 glasses of it, and the next morning there's Aunt Flo. >- How important is breakfast to you? Very important, somewhat >important, not too important, not at all important? Why do you say >that? It is important that I NOT eat breakfast. Breakfast is very important to my children.

Tea and biscuits would be ideal but that's not what I have every day. I eat oatmeal with a fruit, brown sugar, nuts and raisins mixed in. When I'm in a rush or out of fruits, I eat a peanut butter sandwich. > - Why, if ever, do you skip breakfast? I never ever ever skip breakfast unless I'm going for annual physical when I can't have breakfast. That is once a year. >How could a new breakfast > product help you skip less often? What would it need to be like? Your product is unnecessary for me. > - How often do you personally drink milk? When do you drink it? hmmm.. I haven't had milk in nearly 4 years. I either drink coffee or tea and juice very rarely. > - How important is breakfast to you? Very important, somewhat > important, not too important, not at all important? Why do you say > that? Breakfast is extremely important to me. That's why I never miss it.

Very important to restore the body and fire up the energy with longlasting non sugar fuel. But no I am not looking for a new product to try. Your first line is a lie, and almost all mums I know will try get the breakfast done even letting other chores wait. There's nothing hard, imo, about getting your breakfast done while you do the family's. Marc > Hi Moms out there! > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > - What is your ideal weekday breakfast? low fat no sugar yogurt, bit of granola and a bunch of fruit (usually blueberries or peaches). all mixed together > - Why, if ever, do you skip breakfast? Sometime if I'm rushed with kids in the morning I might forget until midmorning How could a new breakfast product help you skip less often? I don't skip that often and why would I buy a new product when I have to best portable breakfast food around...fruit What would it need to be like? like a banana > - How often do you personally drink milk? Every day, I love the stuff When do you drink it? usually a glass at a meal or with a muffin, also get my milk products from yogurt and cheese > - How important is breakfast to you? Very important Why do you say that? because breakfast kicks starts your metabolism and I'm usually incredibly hungry in the morning >> - What is your ideal weekday breakfast? > low fat no sugar yogurt, bit of granola and a bunch of > fruit (usually blueberries or peaches). all mixed together why would yogurt have sugar in it, unless it was a flavored one (in which case why would you add fruit & granola)? i like yogurt with molasses & coconut. it's pretty digusting looking but it tastes good. > What would it need to be like? > like a banana or an apple, an orange, a plum, a bunch of grapes.. lee >>> - What is your ideal weekday breakfast? >> low fat no sugar yogurt, bit of granola and a bunch of [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > i like yogurt with molasses & coconut. it's pretty digusting > looking but it tastes good. I Like Vanilla Yogurt and it is really good with manderin oranges, sliced apples and bananas or many other berries and fruits. It tastes better then the fruit flavored yogurt but some brands tend to be too sweet. Tori >>>> - What is your ideal weekday breakfast? >>> low fat no sugar yogurt, bit of granola and a bunch of [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > and fruits. It tastes better then the fruit flavored > yogurt but some brands tend to be too sweet. i only eat full fat yogurt, so my only choice has been Stonyfield Farm. i think their vanilla is a bit sweet, but the plain is really good. i dislike strawberry & blueberry yogurt, & the only other full fat flavor is vanilla truffle, which is chocolate. Boo likes it. i think it's too sweet. Cabot has started selling a 'Greek style' full fat yogurt which is *really* good & the vanilla and fruit flavors (peach!!!) aren't excessively sweet. it also comes in honey, but i haven't tried that flavor yet. i buy plain yogurt by the quart & use it to replace the milk when making Annie's Mac & Cheese and in mashed potatoes. lee > i only eat full fat yogurt, I tend to only eat yogurt that has about 15 grams of carbs listed. The full carb yogurt, about 45 grams is too sweet for me and I dislike it now. Tori >> i only eat full fat yogurt, > > I tend to only eat yogurt that has about 15 grams of carbs > listed. The full carb yogurt, about 45 grams is too sweet > for me and I dislike it now. plain whole milk yogurt has around 10 carbs per 8 oz (and most mass market yogurt cups are only 4-6 ounces). a well made plain yogurt doesn't really need sugar because it shouldn't be any more "sour" than sour cream. 45 carbs sounds like there must be a lot of fillers in that yogurt. most of the low fat & fat free yogurts are loaded with thickeners because they're basicly made with water. another thing to look out for in mass market yogurt (or any premade food/drink really) is high fructose corn syrup. HFCS makes you hungrier & shuts off the enzymes in your brain that tell you that you are full. it's amazing what that crap is found in. we don't buy anything with HFCS anymore, so i'm baking all our hamburger & hot dog buns, making soda pop & more soups (the second ingredient in Campbell's Tomato is HFCS!), etc. i was hoping the conversion of corn to ethanol production would make HFCS less attractive to manufacturers, but it appears to only be help drive the rise in prices instead. lee <btw, yogurt is easy to make at home> >> lee <btw, yogurt is easy to make at home> it is - its an absolute doddle. We bought a 1 litre yogurt maker in the summer and havent looked back. I used some good commercial yogurt as our starter initially then save some of the yogurt each time for the next batch. Sometimes if it gets weak or a bit odd we user a fresh starter. Only other ingredient is UHT milk so we dont even need to boil it. We use full fat but have used skimmed and its fine, just needs a bit more starter and a bit longer. We just switch the maker on, add a bit of yogurt and a litre of milk and then return in 8-9 hours. We flavour it with fruit. If I have pears or apples that are going soft I cook then with spices and use that. Coconut is good. If I'm feeling lazy we use maple syrup or just plain. >>>> - What is your ideal weekday breakfast? >>> low fat no sugar yogurt, bit of granola and a bunch of [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >> i like yogurt with molasses & coconut. it's pretty digusting looking but >> it tastes good. Most of the yogurts where I am have added sugar in them. There are a few though sweetened with fruit juices. > Most of the yogurts where I am have added sugar in them.

Ideal? It's just a necessity. Just a sandwich. > - Why, if ever, do you skip breakfast? Never. It's manditory as I have to take medication and can't take them on an empty stomach. > How could a new breakfast > product help you skip less often? It wouldn't. > What would it need to be like? I'm perfectly content with the sandwich, I don't like eating that early in the morning. > - How often do you personally drink milk? Normal milk? Never. 0.5 litres of skimmed chocolate milk a day as per my doc's instructions. > When do you drink it? After lunch and preferably before 2pm, for dietary reasons. > - How important is breakfast to you? Very important, somewhat > important, not too important, not at all important? Very. > Why do you say that? Not taking my medication could result in death, that /would/ be somewhat sloppy...  SignatureMo > Hi Moms out there! > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > important, not too important, not at all important? Why do you say > that? I don't eat breakfast every morning, when I do its oatmeal, or maybe a couple biscuits. Someone on one of my yahoogroups was asking about cream of wheat, and I mentioned malt-o-meal hot cereal. its good, but I have not had it in years. I went to the store tonight, and got a box.... gonna taste good in the morning > Someone on one of my yahoogroups was asking about cream of wheat, and I > mentioned malt-o-meal hot cereal. its good, but I have not had it in > years. I haven't had cream of wheat in ages....I LOVE the stuff! Think I may have to go and buy some soon. >> Someone on one of my yahoogroups was asking about cream of wheat, >> and I mentioned malt-o-meal hot cereal. its good, but I have not had >> it in years. > > I haven't had cream of wheat in ages....I LOVE the stuff!
