Does it matter what time we have breakfast? If I eat at 11 AM, I have a later lunch and a bit lighter too.

I think yes, because you’d be able to achieve more if you wake up early and have proper breakfast. Instead, having a small breakfast will not give you the sufficient energy to through your day. This answer isn’t 100% right, this is only my opinion

My doctor recommended the book Bright Line Eating. One piece of advice is to only eat between 10 or 11 am and 7 PM. I’m a breakfast eater so I find it difficult to wait until 11 am.

The best is first thing in the morninv or at least as soon as possible. Eating breakfast gives you fuel for the day, prevents you from going hungry and tired.

I should really be trying to eat at the same time everyday so that I can get my body into a rhythm for digestion and all that good stuff.

I used to do intermittent fasting to lose weight. But now it’s kind of a habit. If yo eat at least 4 hours after you wake up, you won’t feel “ starving “ and your meal portion is lighter too. Besides, ever since I started this fasting routine, I notice that my digestive system works a lot better. Since you cannot eat, you will find yourself drink a lot more water, which is very beneficial. I don’t think the specific eating time matters, I think the fasting period and eating period do.

I think it’s better to eat earlier because it helps you have the energy for your day and it’s healthier to eat after you wake up.

El tiempo depende de la hora que te levantes y lo mas importantes es que no pase mas de media hora. Cada persona tiene que tener su meta personal. Y siempre comer de 3 a 4 horas por eso te va ayudar a que tu cuerpo tenga la gasolina necesaria para el dia!

It doesn’t matter. I do the same thing but then I just shuffle my lunch and dinner to later times. The important thing is that you have breakfast.

I’m not a big first thing in the morning breakfast eater, either. Having something first thing is supposed to get your metabolism burning. Maybe have a few bites of something when you get to work and then have your breakfast at 11? I totally see your point about eating later and this is just a suggestion. Really, the best thing is to listen to your body. I hope this helps! :)

It depends on what works the best for you. A good part of the time, eating breakfast earlier can give more energy to start the day with. However, on the other side of the spectrum, the practice of intermittent fasting, which is only eating in a specific time period during the day (for example, only eating between the hours of 11am and 7pm) is also a effective method for having more energy and losing weight. Obviously, do what makes the most sense for you.
