Do you have any food ideas for students who feel nauseous when eating breakfast in the morning?

when I feel ill in the mornings, i go back to the basics: baby food. Okay, I don’t go the grocery store and buy a container of gerber baby mashed peas and turkey, but I’ve found that the best things to eat when you don’t feel 100% are the foods that are easiest to eat and digest, which just so happens to be foods that babies can eat when they switch to solids. Think smoothies, scrambled eggs, soft pancakes, which are especially good for days when your head aches or your teeth hurt. Avoiding foods that can cause colic and gas in babies can also be helpful. And if you really aren’t feeling up to it, drink a glass of water and eat a piece of bread and try again in a couple of hours.

Smoothies are a good way of getting a breakfast in when you’re not used to eating early in the morning. Also having a herbal tea or lemon, honey and warm/hot water as soon as you wake up will help with the nausea and allow you to eat more later on.

I say eat something nutritious and small. With eating in the morning, you gotta train your body to accept such fuels in the morning...so starting off small will help out a lot, then if you’d like, you could slowly increase the amount you eat. Oatmeal is always a great way to start off the day.

I usually get nauseous if I eat before a cup of coffee, but I’ve been eating a few almonds in the morning after I drink water and that’s small enough to not upset my stomach. Today I upped it to a handful of almonds and a few dried banana slices. So far so good.

Eat something slightly more bland, as in a plain waffle with butter or toast. Even fruit is a great go to option. Drink water also, being hydrated helps you and your body not feel sick.

Try smoothies or shakes instead. Sometimes eating a solid breakfast straight away can make you feel nauseous. Drink plenty of water before and afterwards too

If you never eat breakfast before then need a few days to let your body get used to it. Should strart with light breakfast in the first few days, avoid heavy dinner or meal 2-3 hours before bed time Drink a glass of water after wake up to refresh yourself.

Warm lemon water in the morning. I am of opinion that you don’t need to force yourself to eat if you’re not hungry or if your body does not want to. Listen to your body’s cues.

As a student, I was always in hurry in the morning. I preferred boiled eggs with 2 slices of bread and a banana. Even now, this is one of my favourite breakfast food.

I used to feel nauseous in the morning. I make tea and toast, starting with a small portion until my appetite in the morning develops. Granola and yogurt is another nice alternative.
