Depending on where you are and what your schedule is like in the morning, you could also bring along something portable (granola bar, fruit, boiled egg as jimrandomh suggests) and eat it whenever your stomach is ready for it.

I leave the house once a week, and don't need to get up at any particular time in the morning. I do eat once I want food - the question is whether I'm depriving myself of some of the value of breakfast by waiting as long as that takes.

This seems a strangely hermit-like lifestyle for a self-professed extrovert. Does this not affect your happiness?

The Internet "counts" for me as far as my dose of social interaction. Also, I have roommates.

Ok. I ask in part because it took me a while to recognize the (in retrospect quite strong and obvious) correlation between not leaving my apartment for > 24 hours and serious negative effects on my emotional state. Internet based social interaction did not alleviate the negative effects for me.

Ah, got it. Not knowing that is why I'd refrained from making that suggestion in the first place; I figured other commenters knew something I didn't. :)

My suspicion is that you're fine, unless you're doing some severely energy-intensive tasks in between getting up and feeling hungry.
