Sometimes, you donāt have the choice to eat a nice breakfast, or you just donāt have what you need to eat breakfast foods. Those things are last-stitch efforts to eat, and I get that. But if you have breakfast foods, eat it during the time itās intended for. If Iām in a rush, I have oatmeal and bring it with me to work. But Lunch and Dinner foods are for those times (or switched between those times), but NOT for breakfast. Breakfast is an all-day buffet to me, because pancakes/waffles/bacon and eggs are good at any time. š
To me, a breakfast has to contain some spesific food to be considered a breakfast. So I never eat anything. But I believe proper breakfast is the way to go and not just anything
It works better for me when I eat something high fiber and protein for breakfast. Keeps me from getting hungry again before lunch. I recently started doing the overnight oats thing and it has changed my life. Iām not a morning person, so grab and go is good. Grabbing something good for me has made me feel even better
If i wake up too late (past 11am), i rather eat something else, since its só close to lunch. But If i wake up like i usually do (6am~7am) i prefere to eat a proprer breakfest.
If youāre short on time, Iād say to eat what you can get. However, if you have some time, Iād focus on some non-carb breakfast foods. I personally go with fruits and eggs in the morning, because carbs donāt really fill you for long.
I personally do smoothies as itās convenient and not heavy as I wasnāt breakfast person and recently started but if I am hungry I do eat my dinner as breakfast too and switch my smoothie to afternoon for lunch.
Nutritionally, itās the same. That depends on your food choices. But psychologically, itās easier to habit stack on top of a distinctly different meal type. By differentiating your first meal of the day, you can behaviorally condition yourself to put your morning routine on autopilot whenever you taste breakfast. Eating dinner for breakfast could have the initial negative effect of subconsciously triggering your evening routine, and the long term negative effect of removing any behavioral conditioning associated with either meal.
I always go for foods that are high in protein for breakfast. Eggs are great for protein. Recently Iāve been making this shake for breakfast: 1 scoop protein powder, 1 banana, 2 tbsp peanut butter, and 1 cup non dairy milk. Itās also good with cinnamon!
I must admit that I havenāt thought deeply about this topi, probably because I take it for granted that you should eat what you want ... so long as it isnāt always something that can be harmful
I prefer breakfast food, sweet or savory but always breakfast. Something like spaghetti or pasta gives you a different type of energy so I prefer them for lunch.
