Personally I’ve started associating what I’m eating with the muscle group that I’m working on that day. I’m excited about going to the gym, which makes me excited about what I eat so I’m turn I’m more incline to wake up a little earlier. You can also try prepping something you enjoy. Something with minimal prep time that way your least likely to pass on breakfast because it “requires too much work”. These things have helped me. Even having a protein/meal replacement shake for breakfast. Powder, water, shake lol
Yes , in fact many people do , but to solve this problem you need to find a spot where an outlet is to charge your phone that is far from where you sleep in your bed but close enough for you to hear the alarm set an appropriate time that you are comfortable with .
I spend one day a week (usually my first of two days off) buying groceries and meal prepping. When I say meal prepping, I mean to the point of every single meal and snack boxed up, grouped together in my fridge, and ready to grab and go. My work has a fairly good-sized fridge, so I will take my lunches and snacks for the week on Monday morning. I also make sure my snacks could be a healthy breakfast substitute just in case I forget my breakfast at home. That way I’m covered no matter what. Hope this helps!
I always take a lot of time to get ready (longer than I need) and make breakfast my priority. I quickly dress myself when I get up, then make and eat breakfast and then brush my teeth and go. Most of my time in the morning (by far) goes to eating breakfast. What helps me is setting an alarm, actually getting up immediately when my alarm goes off and just taking my time. Maybe set your alarm earlier?
I used to have this problem until I found 2 solutions that worked for me. 1- set an alarm 30 min early to buy you time without feeling rushed. 2- skip breakfast as part of intermittent fasting. I tried both and fasting was the best one for me. I no longer feel rushed and I know I’m doing something healthy. Hope that helps ! :)
Yes, all the time! Before I started fabulous, I never tried to make time for breakfast. I never thought of it as a priority. Now, I try my best to wake up so early I know for sure I’ll have time for breakfast. Then, the first thing I do is eat my breakfast. After that, I can finally get ready.
Yes, this is a struggle. I’ve found that I can make good breakfasts in advance and store them in a to-go container to take with me in the morning. For example, I make 4 servings of regular oatmeal (and add a Tbsp of chia seeds and or flax seed and a little bit of oatmeal) at a time and portion the 4 servings into to-go containers and add milk and heat right before I leave the house so that as soon as I get to work, my meal is ready to eat. You could do the same for “overnight oats” and milk. A friend of mine makes chia seeds and almond milk/reg milk combo every night to eat in the morning. Hang in there!
Same here! I’ve recently discovered breakfast COOKIES and it’s saved me. Totally healthy and super cheap to make. Only three ingredients; oatmeal, bananas and chocolate chips. Toss two bananas into a mixer. When they’re puréed, add in one cup of quick oatmeal and 1/3 cup of chocolate chips (you could totally use raisins, craisins or blueberries. Use an oiled 1/3 cup scoop to measure and put them on a silicone cookie sheet. Then oil the outside of the scoop and mash the dough into shape. Because there is no baking powder, they won’t rise or even move. I bake two batches on the weekend. My husband loves them and even my students ask for them! After a few test batches, go crazy and add cinnamon and vanilla. It’s the ultimate, health grab-and-go breakfast!
Set your alarm a little earlier. Go to bed a little earlier. Eat less dinner and avoid snacks in the evening, so you are hungry first thing in the morning. Also, you can prepare some breakfast foods and grab quick, healthy things for breakfast. Hard-boil a dozen eggs for the week. Have apples and bananas ready to go. Put Greek yogurt, berries, and nuts in a container, ready to grab. Get some of the Nature Valley Protien need - low in sugar, yummy, and satisfying. Don’t glom on to an excuse. Use your imagination and come up with solutions!
Yoghurt, bannaa, blue berries. Put them in a bag night before. Grab them in the morning and eat on the way or once arrived at work.
