Quarter of Brits skip breakfast due to lack of time, options and wanting a bigger lunch, survey shows
CEREAL KILLERS Quarter of Brits skip breakfast due to lack of time, options and wanting a bigger lunch, survey shows A QUARTER of Brits skip breakfast most days – citing a lack of options, limited time, and a preference for a bigger lunch. A new survey shows that people are more likely to skip their first meal on weekdays, and that Millennials eat breakfast the least out of any generation. Advertisement 2 While many skip their first meal on weekdays, a lot of Brits report going "all out" on weekends 2 Failing to start the day with breakfast means, for most, that they will not eat anything until lunchtime Credit: SWNS A poll of 2,000 adults found 34 per cent of those who skip breakfast do so because they don't have enough time in the morning. While 13 per cent go without because they opt to have a large lunch instead and 12 per cent because they have nothing in their cupboards to eat. And when they don't manage to eat first thing, on average they won't eat until midday. However, 43 per cent are less likely to avoid breakfast at the weekends, with 29 per cent of those eat breakfast admitting they like to go all out at that time of the week. Advertisement This is especially the case for Millennials (44 per cent) who do this more than any other generation – just ahead of Gen Zs (35 per cent). A spokesperson for McDonald's UK, which commissioned the research and has launched its first-ever Breakfast Saver Menu trial across 332 restaurants, featuring Sausage Sandwich and Saver Bacon Roll options, said: 'It's widely regarded as the most important meal of the day, yet it often gets neglected. 'This is understandable as we might wake up with good intentions only for them to fall by the wayside. 'Life moves fast – especially it seems, first thing in the morning when you need to get out and away without delay.' Advertisement It emerged 57 per cent have woken up with the intention of having breakfast but failing to do so. Again, lack of time is a factor (47 per cent), along with not feeling hungry (34 per cent), not wanting what's in their cupboards (14 per cent). Costco shoppers rave over 'delish' breakfast sandwich that's 'better than McDonald's' for just $2.06 As many as 37 per cent eat the same thing for breakfast everyday – with 28 per cent enjoying a variety. However, 44 per cent 'like' the idea of switching things up. Advertisement Overall, the most popular options are cereal (48 per cent), toast (47 per cent), and fruit (26 per cent). And the overwhelming majority of those who eat breakfast enjoy it – with 47 per cent of the opinion it's the most important meal of the day. While 43 per cent went as far as describing their meal choices as 'exciting', although 47 per cent feel differently, describing their go-to breakfasts as 'not exciting.' Carried out through OnePoll, the research found 58 per cent typically have breakfast at home but 22 per cent 'crave' a breakfast they can't make at home. Advertisement A spokesperson for McDonald's UK added: 'Breakfast doesn't have to be something you mindlessly eat just for the sake of it. 'Even when you're in a rush it can still be something nice – and it doesn't need to cost the earth.'

The Sausage Sandwich is an exciting new addition to the morning offerings and will cost just £1.99. There will also be a variety of snacks on offer, including apple slices (79p) and hash browns (£1.59), which can be washed down with Tropicana apple or orange juice (£1.89). The Breakfast Saver Menu will launch on May 7 across 332 UK restaurants in the North of the country for a short period of time. There will also be a Breakfast Bundle Deal in selected branches, where customers can grab a Saver Bacon Roll or Sausage Sandwich with a drink for just £2.99. Breakfast is served from 5 am to 11 am every day of the week, making it the perfect choice for those early starts. If your local branch is part of the Breakfast Saver Menu trial, don't panic - the classic meals like the McMuffins and pancakes will still be up for grabs. The shake up comes after Maccies pulled the plug on five beloved menu items - including the first ever 'adult Happy Meal'. The Minecraft Meal, which only launched in March, is being binned just weeks after it hit menus. What's on McDonald's Breakfast Saver Menu? From May 7, McDonald's customers in selected branches will be able to choose from a variety of bargain breakfasts: Saver Bacon Roll - £2.19 Sausage Sandwich - £1.99 Cheesy Bacon Flatbread - £1.99 Hash Brown - £1.59 Apple Slices - 79p Porridge - £1.69 Tropicana Apple or Orange juice - £1.89 It came with one of six collectable toys designed with grown-ups in mind, and cost £8.19 or £3.99 in the Happy Meal size. Also on the chopping block is the Mars McFlurry, a fan favourite made with creamy ice cream, chunks of chocolate-covered nougat and lashings of caramel sauce. It was priced at £2.19 for a regular and £1.69 for a mini. Two burgers are also getting the boot – the Philly Cheese Stack and McCrispy BBQ Smokehouse. The Philly Cheese Stack, which set customers back around £5.29 solo or £6.99 as a medium meal, was made with two Irish beef patties, a melted cheese slice, grilled and crispy onions, pickles and cheese sauce in a toasted bun. Meanwhile, the McCrispy BBQ Smokehouse featured a chicken breast in a crispy coating with cheddar, red onion, lettuce and smoky BBQ sauce, all served in a sesame-topped sourdough-style bun. That one cost £5.79 on its own or £7.49 with fries and a drink. Finally, the Raspberry and White Chocolate Pie is also being dropped. The limited-edition Valentine's treat arrived back in February and was priced at £1.99. It came in a pink pastry shell filled with gooey raspberry compote and silky white chocolate ganache. But when one door closes, another one opens and there are plenty of exciting meals being added to the menu from May. For six weeks, the Biscoff McFlurry will be back, as well as the Biscoff Frappe. As the weather heats up, the chain is also launching a brand new Frozen Cherry Lemonade. The spicest burger created by McDonald's is also making a comeback in the form of the McSpicy x Frank's RedHot. The chicken burger is topped with lettuce, Emmental cheese, jalapeños, slivered onions and Frank's RedHot Mayo. Which McDonald's restaurants will be serving the Breakfast Saver Menu?
