It’s said to be the most important meal of the day. With such significance placed on breakfast, PARADE magazine and SheKnows recently teamed up to learn about the habits and routines that make your breakfast stand apart.
We asked, you answered! The recent survey conducted by PARADE and SheKnows reveals much about the morning routine of many. Read on to see what America eats for breakfast!
It really is important
Even though it might be tough to get the family ready to start the day or to avoid the morning traffic and make it to an early meeting, more than half the readers who took the survey said they never skip breakfast.
Surprise, surprise
You might find it surprising, but the survey reveals that most Americans have never had breakfast in bed, and those who have found it awkward.

Serve yourself
Have you noticed more and more restaurants (think fast food) offering breakfast menus, and that just about every corner can lay claim to a coffee shop? Even so, people are staying in for their first meal of the day — and cup of coffee. Our survey shows that 77 percent of people enjoy their breakfast at home, and 45 percent brew their own coffee with a standard coffee maker.
Orange
you glad

and eggs
When given the choice, our readers picked eggs and bacon over pancakes and waffles as the most beloved breakfast. This was true even when choosing breakfast-for-dinner options and polled as the people’s choice after a night out enjoying a few cocktails.
Sugar, meat thy match
We found our readers don’t have a huge sweet tooth when it comes to breakfast: Savory meals beat out sweet and sticky in this survey.
