Breakfast Eating Habits - UK - July 2016
Overview
 
What you need to know 
Breakfast is an almost universal meal, with 95% of UK adults eating it. The home is the most popular place to eat breakfast (94%), with 55% eating it at home every day, especially older consumers, who enjoy taking their time to enjoy breakfast. 

That almost half (49%) of UK adults eat breakfast out of home, 28% doing so once a week or more, demonstrates that this is an established habit for a sizeable minority. Of those eating out of home, 41% do so because they do not have the time to eat breakfast at home, while three in ten eating breakfast on-the-go (OTG). 

Barriers remain, however, with the cost of eating breakfast out of home still seen to be the main deterrent to more frequent uptake, with almost seven in ten (68%) saying it is too expensive to eat breakfast out of home often.
