Perhaps a too-easy answer: my stomach motivates me to make breakfast (after I have woken up). This is probably a result of an unbroken breakfast habbit all my life. I eat granola with milk for breakfast, or bread with cheese slices or some meat slices.
There are a couple of things I do. I will make biscuits when I feel motivated. I will but them in the fridge in a sealed bag. Then I can just take one out and add egg or jam (they have sugar free). For the egg I just put it in a small bowl, beat it with a fork add a little salt and pepper. I put it in the microwave for a minute. Then you have breakfast. If I am really unmotivated I keep boost for diabetics... or the adkins drinks in the fridge. They taste good they are low carb. ( I am diabetic). This is better than not eating anything. Also there are healthy fruit bars you can buy ... watch or the fructose corn syrup. You can even go to your local health food store and ask them about it ... if they sell food items also they will be able to point you in the right direction. Good luck!
I tried it the first day and felt energized and motivated. The second day I was hungry in the morning which made it easy to stay on track. Plus I shopped for healthy breakfast options ahead of time.
Have a plan for your breakfast so that its something to look forward to. My favorite right now is peanut butter on whole grain toast with chopped nectarine, blackberries, and honey. It’s so fresh and flavorful, and I’m satisfied until lunch.
I actually prepare my breakfast the night before. I make overnight oats with some cashew milk and yoghurt and top these with frozen berries and almonds. In the morning no cooking is required and I can just grab and eat my healthy breakfast straight out of the fridge or pop it in a microwave if I fancy it hot.
While making breakfast for myself is important, I also make breakfast for my fiance. He is always so appreciative that I make him breakfast. I like doing it because it starts his day off well. Whenever I make only myself breakfast, I don’t feel as motivated to make it as healthy.
Planning is essential now. In my mind, I always have a plan on what I’ll have for breakfast for the next day even if it’s buying something to eat while I grab a morning coffee. Planning allows ensure I don’t rush in the morning and miss having breakfast.
I try to focus on the benefits of actually eating breakfast everyday. It makes me feel energized and focused throughout the day honestly. Where as on those days where I skip breakfast I tend to feel tired and exhausted easily. So that’s my motivation.
I feel better all day when I have eaten breakfast. I know I have a better chance to make it the best day rather than just getting through my day.
It doesn’t take much time indeed to wake up 15 minutes earlier and make scrambled eggs with bacon and avocado toast. Oatmeal is also fast to cook, not mentioning just eating yogurt or fruits.
