How do you find the energy to care about breakfast?

I don’t find the energy. I make a plan later in the day for tomorrow and make it as easy as possible to execute when I wake up. I set out my bowl and spoon, put the ingredients where they’re easy to find, and keep it simple!

The first thing that I do before breakfast is I drink water. Water wakes me up fully and gives me some energy to make breakfast.

I usually can’t eat a lot in the morning for some reason. That’s why I eat something small, like a fruit or a slice of bread, and then I eat a bigger meal a few hours later. I don’t think that it is my breakfast that gives me energy to do anything. For me everything is mental. I am mentally ill and some days it’s hard to care about anything. But, doing small routine things, like eating breakfast or exercising a bit, helps me stay grounded and gives me a boost to be more productive. I don’t know if I really answered your questions but I tried.

Luckily I am a morning person and I don’t mind eating the same thing everyday so I eat a lot of oatmeal with frozen berries and microwave eggs with salsa on a tortilla. Also I try to eat breakfast outside every day so it makes it really special no matter what I eat.

I didn’t used to care about breakfast, in fact I avoided it. I started to get into breakfast the first time I tried the Fabulous app a few years ago. The trick for me was to find something really delicious, a treat that I can have with my tea or coffee. I have a kettle by my bed because I really, really struggle with mornings. For me it’s peanut breakfast biscuits dunked in tea or coffee. Then after a while I switch it up to something more healthy and only have the biscuits when I reeaally don’t want to get out of bed.

I allow myself to go to Starbucks on those days I don’t want to make something. But also I premake eggs and croissants and sausage and bacon for the week. Prep is key and as much as I don’t like cooking all day, I need to care about my health so I prep…. most of the time:) If your not hungry wake up drink water, meditate and do yoga then you will be hungry.

I really don’t; it’s sort of a habit I guess?? I just know that if I don’t eat now then I’ll want to and have to later, and it’ll distract me from work, and I’ll have to go to cafeteria and I don’t like public places… So for me it comes down to choosing the lesser evil. Discouraging as it sounds, I don’t see it in that way, cuz why velify your necessities?

I make sure that it is convenient to get to, doesnt require much effort, and that I have a quiet clean space somewhere in my home to enjoy it for a long time. The reward is getting to sit down and not do anything or worry for an hour or so – sometimes with a book, TV show, or video game.

Knowing that I won’t have headaches or be as tired by midmorning. I know I’ll make better food choices later in the day when I eat breakfast to be more full for longer.

I schedule the right time to get up to motivate myself and my hunger. If this does not work, a oat, banana, peanut butter, milk smoothie. Some tea and an apple. Is a quick way to get where I need to go.
