When I wake up at 8 am in the week andend have to run to the office, I consider not to have enough time to have breakfast

Anytime after 10 am , according to me is too late for a breakfast. However the ideal time should be within an hour of getting up in the morning.

Breakfast is just a label; I have no problem eating breakfast food (eggs and sweet potato for me, usually; not sugar cereal) for a lunchtime meal, or something in the middle of the two. It’s what you’re eating, not precisely when, that really matters!

Never! Breakfast is simply the meal you have first, breaking your fast literally. I also believe that no food is off limits for breakfast as long as it’s a substantial meal that gives you all the energy you need and that you enjoy. To ensure it gives me everything I need I try to ensure it is healthy and balanced whilst occasionally indulging my love of sweet breakfast foods such as waffles and pancakes.

It depends on your lifestyle and context. I guess midday would be too late during the week. But during weekend it is ok as you can merge both breakfast and lunch for a yummy brunch. I am trying to have breakfast these days which I used to skip (only black coffee) because not hungry before 10-11am. Now having a green smoothie homemade and maybe 2 boiled eggs before 11am and thats my breakfast😊

I think it’s to late for breakfast when lunch is only 3 hours away ! I think one of the most important things to look after is that we have breaks between the meals isn’t it?

11-11:30. I make it to work by 9:30, and try to eat breakfast as soon as I’m there. If I don’t eat soon after I arrive, I find that I’m not very productive, and when 11-11:30 rolls around all I can think about is lunch.

Personally, I love breakfast, so it’s never to late to eat it! I usually eat my breakfast by 10am, I drink coffee and water prior to eating, so I never feel like 10am is too late.

I usually find that after 10 or 11am it doesn’t feel right to eat breakfast. I don’t get much additional energy and it’s also close to lunch time – I am likely to not be hungry for lunch and skip it. I feel like eating breakfast as close to waking up as possible makes me feel like I have the burst of energy breakfast is meant for.

It kind of depends on whether it’s a week day or on the weekend (or holiday). On weekdays anything after 10 I consider lunch not breakfast. On weekends I sometimes sleep late so breakfast can be anytime between 7 and 13.
