Nearly one in five women skips breakfast, according to surveys. Try these tips from Susan Bowerman, RD, a nutritionist at California State Polytechnic University in San Luis Obispo, to break your no-nosh habit.
Divide and conquer. Start with something small, like yogurt, and eat a handful of almonds an hour or two later.
Make a fast break. When you're in a rush, grab a piece of string cheese for a dose of protein and some fruit for fiber and vitamins.
Treat yourself. Trade breakfast-prep duties with your partner to make it less of a chore.
Put it off. "If you just can't eat first thing, have an energy bar midmorning for fuel," Bowerman says. "Otherwise, you may overeat at lunch."

I've had to learn to EAT BREAKFAST. It is the most important meal of the day! I eat light because I just can't stomach anything heavy 1st thing in the morning. My morning fav. is Oatmeal or OatBran because you can jazz it up anyway you want to. So it's like eating something different everyday. I get my fiber and fruit! Yum. Give it a try you might like it!
What did you eat this a.m.? Speak on it....
