I find if I eat first thing in the morning I seem to get hungry earlier and eat more overall, so I tend to put breakfast off as much as possible. Any tips for preventing this overeating later as a result of eating breakfast?

Maybe try and introduce breakfast slowly back into your routine. Try starting with a snack and then move up from there. For me I try to eat a peanut butter bar when I wake up and then go for a run, when I get back I’ll usually make something more like eggs and bacon and maybe a bagel. But yeah, just like this app is doing, introducing with the attitude that it’s a reward is also a great idea. Hope I helped :)

Have something to eat when you’re hungry and wait in on between, give yourself a smaller serving and then eat again in an hour or two, this is better for your body and will not result in over eating either

Drinking half a liter wayer and taking a shower hekps me tho to get my hunger going.Try to eat carb and protein reach breakfasts like avocado egg toasts and juices or coffee/ tea whatever you like but really eat rich.

Make some healthy drink like a celery juice,kale smoothie or ash guard juice in the morning n don’t eat anything until two hrs... this good habit will take care of the rest of the day cravings

I feel like that sometimes so I tend to pack my breakfast into portions. Maybe as I while I’ll eat an apple with some toast and orange juice. I might start with something light like the apple and later in the morning finish up my toast and orange juice.

Heyyy. Actually it is very normal to feel hungry later on after you eat breakfast. It is one of the benefits of eating breakfast. However, if you hadn’t noticed but when you have breakfast, the next meal you eat, you will feel satisfied faster ! If you have a problem snacking a lot in between meals, then you need to find healthier snack options ( like nuts, dried fruits ) The next thing you can do is actually eating bigger meals. Maybe you are not feeding your body enough for it to feel satisfied for longer. Make sure you eat more protein if you are worried about weight, always pair that with carbs , calcium and vitamin sources. When your body is imbalanced , that is when it asks for more food and feels weaker :) Always make sure to hydrate , ALWAYS. This is very important because not only will food be digested more properly, but you will stop craving so much food . Sometimes hunger is mistaken for dehydration. Make sure you are also eating the right things for breakfast, do not eat carb sources that give you short term energy, instead eat oats which are amazing as a replacement for bread. Make sure you have protein for breakfast too, because that helps with so many bodily functions. And try having coffee or tea after your breakfast not before, this suppresses your appetite if you want to avoid over eating;) The most important thing is to be grateful to your body by giving it all the nutritional value and supplement to help you get through your day. You are beautiful and amazing for taking this step and wanting to better yourself . Stay safe, good luck !!

Yes, I eat when I am hungry. This way I don’t overeat later. I aim for small frequent meals. I tend to be able to eat smaller healthier snacks/meals if I eat this way, instead of larger high calorie meals. Being hungry is a sign your metabolism is higher.

From my personal experience eating more during the day is caused by the tasks we performed not necessarily that you’ve had breakfast too early. But if that is the case I would recommend having breakfast a little later in the morning for example rather than eating at 6 a.m. have breakfast at 10 a.m.

Eat a more filling and satisfying breakfast. Drink lots of water throughout the day. And remember it’s not bad to eat ! Eat some fruit or a healthy snack to satisfy the hunger. If your body needs fuel don’t feel bad about giving it some :)
