Yes. Although it is good to eat a breakfast to help sustain your energy through out the day, skipping breakfast can have benefits of giving your digestive system a break which is better than eating junk food.

I think that depends largely on what you’re having from McDonalds. I find that most fast food has reasonably healthy alternatives. I think even if it’s junk food that it’s better to eat than not eating at all because the point is to build a habit.

Yes, I think so. A non nutritional breakfast gives a very short boost and often leads to fatigue and sluggishness too early in the day.

When I have to get a fast food breakfast, I get Chick-fil-a grilled chicken burrito in a bowl with no hash browns in it.

I feel that its not hard to eat nutritious breakfast, you can head up to work or school after you finish your cooked eggs with a slice or two of bread and a cup of tea or juice as you like , I do really crave on unhealthy foods somedays at the morning but I try to resist and eat healthy delicious food instead, its a matter of resistance and patience to like healthy food if you don’t but kicking the day without breakfast is a big NO , you can have a mcdounalds for once breakfast but not for everyday

I definitely think yes. A non-nutritional breakfast will take away your energy instead of energizing you for the day. You will feel heavy and lazy and shortly will feel hungry again. Think of no breakfast as a way of detoxing your body by fasting.

I believe something is better than nothing, but there are many healthy options in places such as McDonald’s so there is always something for everyone

no, you should always have breakfast since it is the most important part of the day. it’s better to have something rather than nothing.

Before I would have said absolutely do not eat I think there’s a little leeway eat something from McDonald’s maybe get a coffee sausage McMuffin no cheese if you can’t get anything else in your body try for the lowest calorie but remember that that’s going to take up a lot of calories home some place where you can get me lower calorie foods nutrition some food is probably better than a little food but remember also that McDonald’s is processed and it’s got tons of sugar and salt don’t make a habit of it

Well having no breakfast is not healthy because if you skip it you may feel low on energy. Eating something in the morning is healthy
