Why can't some people stomach breakfast?

Since being little my parents had to feed
me biscuits before school as I have never ever fancied eating breakfast I just can't eat as soon as I get up for a couple of hours.

DH however has to eat a bowl of cereal as soon as he gets up be it 3am or 11am! DS is the same.

Is there some physiological difference? I want to understand why some people are breakfast people and others aren't.

Could it be related to slow metabolism meaning you are still full from yesterday?

I have to have breakfast, can't deal with the sickly hungry feeling I get

Usually have breakfast at work so around 830ish and I snack till my lunch time which because of work deadlines I take at 3pm

Thinking about it, I tend to notice the effects of low blood sugar before I notice hunger. Or DH does. It’s like a little burst of PMT every day.

I class myself as a breakfast eater. I love a breakfast and make myself something lovely every day. However, I get up at 6 and don't eat it until I get back from school at about 9am. So I've been told it isn't breakfast? Urm yes it is.

I'm not hungry when I get up - not a morning person in general.
The first thing I have to do is brush my teeth as it feels wrong if I don't. Then I can't face breakfast with the taste of toothpaste lingering in my mouth.
I'm also lazy and would prefer to have 15 mins extra in bed - or do 15 mins quick housework jobs so they won't be waiting for me after work when I'm feeling tired.

If I eat breakfast then I am more hungry mid morning compared to what I would be if I hadn't eaten.

I need my good coffee though.

I can’t eat first thing... I just wait till I feel hungry, which is usually an hour or 2 after waking... weekdays I have cereal when I get to work at 9.30.
