El desayuno es la primera comida que se consume en el día, y su consumo suele ser por la mañana. El nombre deriva del hecho de que uno no come mientras duerme, por lo que al levantarse por la mañana se encuentra en ayunas, rompiéndose ese ayuno al tomar esta comida (des-ayuno). En otros idiomas —como el alemán (Frühstück) o el japonés asa-gohan (朝御飯)— significa simplemente ‘comida de la mañana’.

Breakfast is the first meal of a day, most often eaten in the early morning before undertaking the day's work. Some believe it to be the most important meal of the day, however there is little scientific evidence to back up this point. Among English speakers, "breakfast" can be used to refer to this meal or to refer to a meal composed of traditional breakfast foods (such as eggs, porridge and sausage) served at any time of day. The word literally refers to breaking the fasting period of the prior night. Breakfast foods vary widely from place to place, but often include a carbohydrate-rich food such as grains or cereals, fruit, vegetables, a protein-rich food such as eggs, meat or fish, and a beverage such as tea, coffee, milk, or fruit juice. Coffee, milk, tea, juice, breakfast cereals, pancakes, waffles, sausages, French toast, bacon, sweetened breads, fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, baked beans, muffins, crumpets and toast with butter, margarine, jam or marmalade are common examples of Western breakfast foods, though a large range of preparations and ingredients are associated with breakfast globally.
