I don’t like to eat in the morning because I wake up really early. Do you have any advice?

I almost always wake up feeling hungry. So i usually like to have breakfast as soon as i get up to start my days. My challenge to not eating good breakfast is due to poor discipline and indulging in screen time

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it sets up your hormones for the rest of the day to come. What time you eat breakfast doesn’t really matter though. Eat when your body tells you it’s ready and make that meal healthy.

I wake up early too. What I do is drink water, meditate, and exercise. If I still have enough time, I create a to-do list of the day. Then, it will be just in time to prepare my breakfast and eat a great meal!

I hate force feeding as well! So I’ll try to do a shake instead, or push off breakfast until my body calls for food. But I’d caution you because you dont want your energy reserves to deplete and then leave you in a slump. It’s much harder to get out of that dip in energy than to maintain the momentum

It was hard to eat in the morning for me, too. But skipping the breakfast is not an option: pretty soon (1-1.5 hours) body starts demanding fast sugars. Pushing yourself to eat full size breakfast is the way. And as all habbits, start small: eat one more egg or one more portion of vegetables. Later you can extend it.

Remember that a good breakfast is an essential part of your day. If you live with your parents, ask them to make you breakfast for for a while, until you’ve gotten into the habit of eating, then slowly ease into cooking your own breakfast.

Start with a light smoothie (prepared the night before) or meal replacement drink and start drinking it while doing something else like reading the news or brushing your hair. I personally like cacao Soylent for this.

If this question comes from not having time to eat because you wake up early, i could suggest hard boiling eggs ahead of time/having fruit ready/etc to cut back on time it takes to prep food in the morning. However if it comes from a place where your stomach hurts/is queasy/can’t handle food early in the morning, then my advice is to experiment . I have dealt with that before and foumd bananas helped soothe my stomach some in the morning so I had eaten something, and then I packed a snack to eat between waking up and lucnch when my stomach could better handle food. I found ginger ale can help. Some cereals i could eat dry and they didn’t make me queasy. If you just dont like to eat that early, my best advice is to pack a snack (some nuts, yogurt, a granola bar, etc) to eat later on when you feel like you could eat :) I hope some of this helps!

I am up at 4:30 am as I am at work by 5:30. I like to take some fresh fruit to eat a bit later in the morning. I have been intermittent fasting so I only eat between 11 am and 6 pm so this works well for me

You didn’t say you don’t eat because you’re not hungry so I assume you’re hungry at some point after you wake up. Listen to your body and eat at that point regardless of how the world defines what’s morning and what’s early.
