How do you know how much to eat for breakfast?

I started with a small portion as I would usually skip breakfast. However I am now hungry for breakfast after just a couple of days so I am going to increase. I have been having a boiled egg. I am looking to add a second egg or piece if fruit.

I just try to use good judgement... Enough to keep me full until almost lunch time. Sometimes I have a healthy snack mid-morning. I want to feel comfortably full but not stuffed, and not starving by noon. I’ve found that a combination of fruit, whole grains, and protein works well for me.

One thing that was important to eating better was actually getting to the point of feeling hunger. The habit of eating breakfast is important, but so is feeling and satisfying hunger. If I don’t feel hunger, I’ll have Bulletproof Coffee and a single egg. If I feel hunger, I’ll add whole grain toast or a piece of fruit, all the while gauging hunger. The other key is giving yourself permission to stop when there is still food "left to eat." Let that go; save it for a mid-morning snack or breakfast tomorrow.

For me, what matters is that I feel full but also enjoy what I’m eating. One of my favorite breakfasts is toast with peanut butter and vanilla yogurt with various fruit. Add some orange juice and eggs and I’m setting myself up for a good day, but it’s also time and effort efficient. Maximizing time and effort to get the best results is always something I respect and try to do myself. 😊

I either eat the serving size or , if a make a homemade frittata, I just eyeball the portion and add a half of avocado. I allow my breakfast biggest meal..

I choose to eat enough to get me through tomlunch as I will often be hungry sooner if I eat a small breakfast. As long as he content of the food is nutritious I don’t often feel like I overeat

on days that i know i will be more active, i have a larger breakfast. i don’t worry too much about having too much, because if i do i simply wont be as hungry at lunch and will eat less then or at supper. i have a fast metabolism so the bigger the better, especially when i have morning practices for rugby!

I usually look at how full my plate appears as a quick indicator. It should allow for each type of food to have its own space, low level and not heaping. I usually order half-servings so I can enjoy a variety. I try to include fruit, protein and carbs. I do need coffee, though. 😊

Everyone is different when it comes to breakfast; not just in the foods they want to eat but in how hungry they are to start with. There are some things that having little appetite in the morning can tell you about your health. 1) you might be a body type that doesn’t require breakfast... better to stick to brunch and that’s okay! 2) you might have pyrroles disorder if you also have nightmares, mood problems and sensory issues. 3) your liver and digestion might be sluggish. Either way, eat what feels comfortable. If you’re not hungry, still make sure you consume some sort of food before 10am to keep your adrenals happy. If you don’t have an appetite, go for a smoothie or juice.

It’s best to have a little bit at a time. Eat some food, drink some water, wait 10 minutes. If you are still hungry repeat. Dont repeat more than 2 times.
