While we often hear that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, there are plenty of people who continue to skip it. In fact, a new survey finds that about 55% of Americans say they typically eat breakfast, while 45% say they don’t. But there is a good case to be made for why you should.
The survey notes that those who eat breakfast are more productive during the day (50% vs. 39%), and they are also more likely to be making health choices throughout the day (48% vs. 28%). As for why some choose to skip breakfast, 52% say it’s because they aren’t hungry in the morning, while 40% say they don’t have enough time and 27% don’t believe it’s important.
And while 78% of people say their morning meal has changed over the years, America’s favorite breakfast foods aren’t at all surprising. Topping the list is eggs (50%), followed by sausage (40%). Other favorite breakfast foods include:
- Bacon (37%)
- Pancakes (37 %)
- Toast (33%)
- Waffles (28%)
- Avocado (28%)
- Cereal (28%)
- Breakfast sandwich (28%)
- Banana (26%)
The survey also finds that some people love breakfast so much they don’t just limit it to the morning. The truth is a whopping 69% of people say they enjoy eating “breakfast for dinner.”
