I make a green smoothie or over night oats the night before. I basically make a mobile meal in preparation to make sure I stay on track. That could mean buying something if your not the “cooking type”. Planning = achievement for me.
I eat my breakfast at home, before work. It’s almost the same every day (to save time, no need to create a new one every day). It’s usually eggs with vegetables. I work remotely so it’s much easier to eat breakfast at home - no need to commute. However, there’s no need to be perfect. If you eat at the office but it’s healthy- no problem. Also, if from time to time you eat something unhealthy don’t punish yourself. We’re not robots.
I think it’s okay as long as you feel energized by your meal. If you notice energy dips, you should think how to change the situation and maybe indeed starting your day with a breakfast at home.
I don’t think striving for perfection is productive in any context! I think eating a healthy breakfast at work is absolutely fine, and is something I often do to ensure I can eat a proper breakfast and get enough sleep (which is also very important for health)
You should sleep early and wake up early so you have more time to eat breakfast at home. You could also prepare things the night before.
First of a well done for making a positive change in your life! Having a healthy breakfast sets you up for success everyday. I wouldn’t beat yourself up about exactly when you manage to achieve this. You’re doing it so that is itself is an achievement! I strive to eat breakfast before I leave for work but if I’m short on time I’ll have it at the office. Luckily my company provides fruit for everyone so it’s easy to grab a banana before sitting down at my desk. Good luck keeping up your healthy habits! The Fabulous app has done wonders for me to help me stay on track and I feel like all the little tweaks are really working! :)
Give yourself enough time to be able to have breakfast at home by walking up early and planning the night before so that you have what you need to have breakfast at home in the morning.
I think the important thing is to make it easy for you to stick to the habit. I have also found that it’s easier for me to eat breakfast at work so that’s what I do
Do you eat healthy at work? Do you feel that a later breakfast effects you negatively in any way? If not I don’t see a problem. It’s still a good habit, wether you eat your breakfast at home or at work. I dont have the opportunity to eat breakfast at work so I eat at home. But sometimes I switch places on my habits, I’m not doing them in the same order every day. As long as I do them I think it’s fine.
What I do is make my breakfast the evening before so when I come out of bed, I only need to eat it en I’m of to work. If I can’t make it the evening before, I will put all the ingredients on the table, so I can make it in the morning without having to search for everything.
