Hi, do you think it’s important to eat breakfast even before I feel hungry in the morning?

I’m split on this but I do find it easier to choose good foods throughout the day and am less hungry on the days that I eat even a small but very healthy breakfast.

Absolutely. Hunger is a sign that your body’s starving. You need to give your body nutrients before it starves. This will lower the amount of food-to-fat conversion as well as keep or increase your metabolism. You don’t have to eat a lot, but keep in mind your calorie intake and that you’re not just snacking all of the time because snacking will work the same way skipping a meal will. Try smaller meals with about 4 a day every 2 hours.

Yes because if you wake up hungry then your body is already missing something. If I let myself get to hungry then I’m more likely to eat rubbish rather than healthy stuff.

I think eating breakfast are important to boost up my mood before officially working. But thinking before i feel hungry in the morning were kinda make me feel very full

It is so you can have enough energy, but always having in mind that we must respect our body’s needs, so maybe start with less.

Yes, I think you should eat breakfast even if you don’t feel hungry yet. They say it is important to eat at regular times so you should opt for eating at the same time every day.

Yes I think water is the most important thing that’s have to drink in the morning even if we are not thirsty In my opinion, fruits are the most important thing that need to be eaten with the empty e stomach

I think it’s important to eat before you end up accidentally starving yourself because then you might end up binge eating. It’s probably best to be consistent as well. You build better habits through consistency.

Yes. I did a medically led health program a few years ago and they emphasized that it’s important to eat within an hour of waking up.

Most definitely! I work graveyards so with my schedule it’s harder for me to be conscious of my meals when I work and when I have my set days off. But, I have noticed since I started eating as soon as I wake up I have more energy throughout my shifts and when I go back to sleeping during the night on my days off. The process is WAY more easier for me to get back into routine and have this constant rotation when life gets too busy.
