What do you look for most in a breakfast food?

We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but that still doesn’t mean that we do more than guzzle a cup of joe on the way to work or school with the kids. If you do make it a point to have your morning nourishment, what’s most important to you when choosing what to eat?

Nutritional contents (vitamins & minerals) (41.8%)

Convenience (24.5%)

Preparation and eating time (20.0%)

Cost (3.6%)

I don't eat breakfast/I only drink coffee or tea (10.0%)

    You are what you eat - plain and simple...

    Our mornings are pretty rushed, and 4 of my 5 children or ADHD so we definately look for foods with the lowest sugar content and least amount of prep time.

    Fast and healthy. That's what I always look for.

    It's a pretty much equal mix of prep ease and time, nutrional content, PLUS coffee for me! I like old fashioned oats, nuked for a couple of minutes with a little water, sea-salt, and raisins (or diced apples, peaches, strawberries - fruit in season), to make a thick, chewy mix where I can feel the whole oats (no mush, please!). A little shot of milk over the top, and I've got a good brekkie that's also good for my heart. Then a great big mug of iced Sumatra coffee, and I'm off to start my day! I can eat breakfast for a week at home for what I would spend for one morning's meal at Mickey-D's.

    Of course anything healthy is on my list but prepartion time is also important. quick and easy breakfast when I'm in a hurry works best for me.

    I like to start the morning off with a healthy breakfast that is filling! My 3 yr old likes those Quaker breakfast cookies. I'm not sure how great they are but better than a doughnut.

    I always try to start my day out in a good way, so eating a healthy breakfast is important. I am also usually in a bit of a hurry so I need to stay with the essentials such as fruit, yoguart, bran or something similar that is quick and not a lot of clean up after.

    I look for fiber content and low sugar and salt. I focus more on the things I want to avoid (sugar, salt, hfcs, white flour). I think it's weird that cereals have all this vitamin fortification...why was cereal designated to have the RDA of every vitamin as if you're taking a pill. It annoys me and it allows cereals to advertise health benefits that you'd get from just taking a pill.

    I usually eat a Luna bar for breakfast since it's easily digestible and I usually workout an hour or two after eating one, which gives me energy but doesn't weigh me down before the workout.

    Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and I like to start out with something very healthy!
