I used to be like you babyboomergirl, not having breakfast much at all in my 20's and early 30's.
And my breakfasts right now, remain modestly small as I outlined earlier on type of food in this thread. So imagine, I used to eat even less.
It changed when I returned to cycling in my early 30's because I needed something in my stomach to do a bike ride early morning to get to work.. which was 13-16 kms. one way for 14 yrs., depending where I was working. usually the bike ride then and now, where we live in a different city, includes at least 1 hill 6-10% grade to chug up or more hills, depending what I feel like doing/how time I have.
It was also highly critical for long vacation bike rides when we travelled by bike for 5-6 hrs., each day that I eat a substantive breakfast. I have been in 2 different situations where I didn't eat much breakfast and I nearly fainted after cycling for 30-40 kms. in hot humid summer morning at 28-30 degrees C. Experiences like that are scary.
So I have this feeling if you engaged in high cardiovascular exercise early morning for at least 1 hr., that the body would require a breakfast earlier. With running and cycling if one doesn't eat,..a person is geographically stranded outdoors.
If I don't bike, but just walk to catch subway/bus, then a cup of tea, maybe with a fruit would suffice for breakfast.
I know my stomach becomes acclimatized to certain eating patterns and timing. It didn't used to be like that. But then, when I was much younger I didn't have to worry about weight, fitness since I had a high metabolic rate. I am petite and at an excellent fit weight (at age 51) but it does take more conscious regular effort on my part now.

I wished to respond with a bit more detail for babyboomergirl:
In thinking about this, I realized that perhaps you and I might be similar (but not totally): we eat smaller breakfasts.
If I wanted a bigger breakfast on a regular basis, I had better start cutting back on size of supper!

For certain Anno I would have to eat beans around lunch, my system requires effort to digest beans but I enjoy bean dishes at restaurants. I rarely cook beans because of this minor problem for me. Sounds just as a different...as tradtional ASian breakfast, which is rice congee..or a rice porridge cooked in a light soup broth with light green veggies or some chopped cooking meat on top. As you know, it's offered in major Chinatowns in big cities in North America. Certainly enough fans in Vancouver and Toronto. It's been rare I've had this type of breakfast. My mother found the bread-tea or oatmeal thing easier for her in terms of feeding us.
