Is no breakfast better than a non nutritional breakfast? E.g. McDonald’s

Marian J.
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.
Oda F.
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.
Becky N.
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.
Bessie F.
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
Megan X.
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.
Sarah O.
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
Giselda A.
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.
Maria F.
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
Meinolf J.
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
Allan J.
Yes. It is better to wait and have a nutritional and protein filled meal than to have junk and feel hungry again very soon afterwards.
Margie J.
I guess some breakfast is better than no breakfast, unless you're planning on doing a fast or something. If you are worrying about the nutritional aspect then what I would do is to reduce the portion size to limit calories.
Bradley Z.
That's a great question! Personally I need to eat something in the morning otherwise I feel nauseous, due to low blood sugar. So maybe one with egg would be ok if I was on the road and there wasn't anything else. Then yes. For me yes it would be better.
Mah T.
i don't think so.Even though fast foods is better than missed breakfast. Because fast foods has contains meat, vegetables, and bread so on.
Tommy F.
Well I think that you should always have breakfast, I guess even if it is unhealthy. Unhealthy is not good but better then not eating at all
Sarah E.
Næring er viktig, og man fungerer ikke uten mat. Så noe er det lurt å spise, samtidig kan lette løsninger føre til dårlige vaner.
Maxine F.
No, the body needs food to continue functioning the way it should and to give the body enough energy, so having breakfast regarding it being nutritional or not is better
Id Lio N.
I believe eating something is better than nothing, but their have to be non-negotiables, like fast food. Instead, be prepared with a stash of alternative food for whenever you miss a meal. For me, I have my favorite granola bars and hiking power bars in a box in my pantry for those busy days. Also, I have a stash of ramen in my work closet for those days I forget my lunch on the kitchen counter. Something is better than nothing.
Steffen R.
Personally I would prefer to have any breakfast than none, and even in McDonalds there are healthier options (like porridge)
Julian O.
I don’t think so. If you only a non nutritional breakfast is available sometimes, than eat what you can but remember to control the portion

Davina A.
Well I supposed you have to make the time for your wellness if it's not possible to you to make breakfast in the morning, prepare it the night before or go for small steps … Maybe a smoothie not crackers something easy to do .. because if start to put excuses it never gonna happen So I prefer breakfast

Surprisingly, it is typically considered better to eat an unhealthy breakfast rather than skipping breakfast completely.

It has been claimed that even an unhealthy breakfast like donuts gets the metabolism going, and that eating breakfast results in healthier eating choices and consuming fewer calories throughout the day.

However, there is some debate about this, and it may depend on your body’s situation and your personal eating and exercise habits.

As an example of when skipping breakfast could be better than an unhealthy one is when practicing intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting has been shown to help with weight loss by eating all meals within an 8 hour window each day. On such a schedule, skipping breakfast would increase the length of the fast, and increase the benefits.

Overall, keep in mind that everyone’s body, lifestyle, and goals are different, so experiment and see what gives you the best results.

I hope this helps. Good luck with finding what works best for you!

I believe that having no breakfast is as unhealthy as eating non nutritional breakfast being a habbit. Well it is normal to eat a donat or a chocolate cake once a while. But you should focus on eating a big ammount of tasteful and healthy food in breakfast. Try eating a bowl of cerial you adore or some of your faivourite fruites. Do it because you put yourself first and being healthy is a lifestyle. Enjoy it! Oh don't forget to drink water!
Elouan Z.
It’s better to eat an Apple or a banana and a tablespoon of peanut butter than to go to Macdonalds to eat breakfast. Lesser effort, great breakfast.
Tracey E.
No, although it is best to have a nutritional breakfast, it is still better to have breakfast rather than not at all so you are not starving throughout the day.
Elliot C.
A breakfast is always better than no breakfast. A breakfast starts the body up to digest. With no breakfast the body starts to save the non digested food from before
Nevaeh J.
No; any breakfast is better than nothing. All food has SOME nutritional value to it, even things like fast food. The presence of grease or sugar doesn’t take away the other things, like proteins or grains. Always have something to fuel your body.
Zanete W.
Well that’s certainly debatable about what you mean by “better.” I almost never go out for breakfast and find many comfort breakfast items (like pancakes) too sugary. I’m also weird because I don’t like eggs, which is often rated as one of the best things you can eat in the morning. I personally try to eat a couple scoops of non-fat plain Greek yogurt with berries and granola, a banana, and a cup of coffee. Occasionally I might also treat myself with a little breakfast sausage or bacon.
