There isn’t any specific time that is perfect for everyone. You just have to find a time that works for you. As a rough guideline I would recommend eating breakfast anytime within 90 minutes after you wake up. A little later is fine, even as soon as immediately after you get up and drink water is fine. It doesn’t matter what time as long as you wake up at the same time every day and do things in the same order.
The good rules are the ones that work for you. Experiment with time and check when it feels right. For me, it’s having breakfast around 1h30 after waking up, after being done with my daily workout and shower.
Unfortunately, there is no way to answer that without more information. I urge you to discuss this with your doctor and possibly a dietitian/nutritionist.
I find that if I eat around 630/7, at least 15min to 30mins after I get up I am ok. If I get up at say 4am, I cannot eat that early without feeling sick to my stomach.
My suggestion is anytime after you’ve ingested some sort of liquid, water preferably. Being hydrated will help your body with the digestive process and aid your energy throughout the rest of the day. So, have a glass of water/tea first and then have your breakfast.
You should only eat if you’re hungry. If you wake up and you’re full, then wait until your stomach tells you to eat. Don’t eat based on a time schedule, eat mindfully.
I wake up and drink a big glass of water. Then I wait about one hour to eat breakfast. My stomach doesn’t do well with food immediately after waking up.
I don’t think it’s necessary to set a rigid time for breakfast. I think as long as you have it before 10am as part of your morning routine before you get on with your day is the main thing. I don’t think it makes a difference in terms of stomach health based on timing, it’s more around what you’re eating that impacts your health.
When you are hungry, but if your not hungry and you now you won’t have time to eat again till lunch then have something small and protein filled to help get you through.
I’m curious to know when other fabulous members eat breakfast in relation to working out. Do you eat before your workout or after? If you eat before, how long do you wait to workout? Thanks!
