Usually one hour to one and a half hours after waking is the suggested time frame to eat breakfast upon waking up. I have two small children (5 and 2). I usually wake up an 30 minutes before,do my morning routine and get myself ready. That way I can really enjoy my time to myself. Then I wake up my children and do what I have to do for them. It’s best that you prepare the night before, if possible. That way your morning runs a little smoother. Example, at night I lay out all the clothes, pack the lunches, have the bags by the door. Hopefully this helps.
I like to eat breakfast as late as I can; so I am not so hungry before noon. I think it’s fine as long as you don’t snack on anything and you don’t wait too long after getting up. Eat when you are hungry not just because you need to check it off your to do list
I find that by having my breakfast right away, I am thinking about and planning my day as I am making and eating breakfast. I also find that I feel better because my body is already fueled. This allows me to focus on other tasks at hand. If time is short in the morning are there quick foods you can prepare and eat prior to your morning get ready routine?
I don’t think it would matter so long as you can have a health breakfast. It would be better to eat leisurely then to be rushed.
I think it is ok, it depends on how you feel. And trust me I get it I am a working mama and breakfast is a given for my kids but often skipped for me. I would say if you are starving and feeling hangry getting up even a few minutes earlier and having something like a protein shake will help get you going. Hope that helps!!
Whether you’re pressed for time in the mornings or you’re just not hungry, missing breakfast is a big mistake, especially when trying to avoid weight gain or trying to eat for optimal energy. However eating breakfast within an hour of waking up is a good practice, but if you can’t do this then you can at least increase the amount of protein in your breckfast.
Im not sure if it matters. But i think it would be worth trying having your breakfast first or even some fruit to kickstart your system. Maybe try a banana on the go before you start your routine as described. Be interesting to see if it makes you feel different. Try put yourself first ! Self care 😊
From personal experience, I have found that if I eat breakfast within 30 minutes from waking up, I am generally not as hungry later on in the day which means I do not snack as much. I would suggest having something really small (a fruit, homemade muesli) before you start getting your daughter ready, then have breakfast when yo usually do. This will ensure that your body is getting the energy it needs after 8 or so hours of no food. Hope this helps!
I don’t believe it matters too much because breakfast isn’t a time, it’s just the breaking of your fast over night. Whether you wait or you do it right away, you’d still be breaking your fast! So, don’t worry too much about it, rather focus on being certain it’s a protein rich breakfast you know you’ll enjoy 👍 Hope that helps, and continue being fabulous!
It’s recommended that you eat within two hours of waking up because it stabilizes your blood sugars through out the day and gives a nice jump in your metabolism. Pretty much, in a nut shell, it sets you on a good eating schedule where you’ll have energy through out your day and you won’t feel hungry until 2-3 hours later.
