Does anyone else have a hard time getting breakfast when you have a random work schedule with sudden changes?

Yes, and meal prep works out in this case. In my case...pancakes! Pancakes are great to cook and eat, but time consuming and hard to do when you are short of time. Making many ahead of time and throwing a few in the freezer makes a wonderful breakfast for another day. More so on cold days. Maybe that’ll work for you.

Yes. I have the same. I end up taking breakfast at 7 am sometimes and then at 11 am the next day. No matter when you have to wake up try to have breakfast everyday :-)

Yes. I used to have some unpredictability in my previous job and had started using fabulous + trying to have breakfast every morning. I would make a container of baked beans and half an avocado in the fridge. This was useful for 3 reasons: 1. If my boss was needing everything yesterday then I could eat it as is, anywhere, because baked beans are already cooked. 2. If I felt I needed something a lil more substantial I would toast some bread whilst getting dressed to take with it. 3. If I had time to have breakfast that morning it would keep until the next day at least.

I have great experience with Huel (if you are not familiar, it is a protein shake "like" product). It is easy to prepare (mix powder with water) and fast to consume (it’s like drinking a large bottle of water). They also have other products and it is super healthy :)

I do for sure. The thing that’s really helped me is to have grab and go items prepared beforehand - like hard boiled eggs, cut up fruit, cooked bacon, and overnight oats. If all else fails, a good protein shake is great to have. I like the Atkins brand for low carbs and sugars. Time savers and life savers. 😊

Yes! It is so hard for me to eat breakfast and then having irreguler work hours like overnights messed me up. All I can say is to take it easy and keep it simple.

I personally think breakfast first thing in the morning is overrated and I feel much better breaking my fast later - 2 or 3 hours into my day. Whatever feels good at the moment. So no, I don’t have a hard time getting breakfast I just eat when I feel it or when my schedule allows it.

No, in such a case I go for the quickest and easiest possible option - mainly instant oatmeal. It can be prepared even the evening before to save time in the morning.

It happens to me sometimes and I’m not able to eat my breakfast at the regular time. I just pick up my routine at a time when I’m able to so I still feel the sense of accomplishment.

Yes I do. My schedule is erratic as I am in consulting. However I recently found "to-go" breakfast packs. E.g. 2 boiled eggs, rice flakes etc. They just need boiled water and can be packed in a luggage. So key is to eat about the same time everyday doesnt matter where.
