I struggle to accept breakfast as an important meal instead fasting until lunch time. I like to train early mornings at 6am also so eating before is a no no. What’s your go to breakfast, and when do you eat it to gain maximum benefit?

My go to breakfast is usually something warm and not healthy. I tend to eat a piece of toast or a bagel, and occasionally a bowl of oatmeal or a bowl of cereal. I usually eat it either hours before I leave for the bus stop, or as i’m going to the bus stop. I tend to feel as though eating a good and healthy breakfast is bad, but I should definitely incorporate more veggies or fruits and have a healthier and more balanced breakfast each morning.

I’ll always have a homemade vegetable & fruit shake that’s made of bananas, spinach, strawberries and a dash of honey. It fills me right up quick and leaves me full till noon as I’m usually on the go. If I’m feeling particularly hungrier on certain mornings, I’ll have 2 hard boiled eggs on the side too.

I get up at 6am to get to work early and that leaves me no time for breakfast at home. So I prepare a tupper with oatmeal, popped quinoa, nuts and yoghurt and berries or a piece of fruit. I take it all with me and when I get to work I add some oat milk and have breakfast there. That’s about 2 hours after I get up.

I am (or was) exactly like you: I could and would not eat anything before lunch. But I felt very crushed during the morning and I got sick with a strong sense of nausea which often avoided me to do things. So I decided to change. For me. Even a small amount of dried nuts will do, but never let breakfast beats you!

I usually tend to keep my breakfast simple and easy to make because I don’t have much time. But I also don’t want to have breakfast on the run. I like to have eggs in a pan with cheese (I take 3 egg whites and 1 egg yolk) with half a bread pita. If not, I have oatmeal with chia seeds, berries and yogurt. It’s so good and easy to make! I eat it usually after my morning walk right before I head to work. I think it gives me enough energy (and a fully stomach) up until lunch.

Well, since you train in early in the day, you definitely need fuel. My suggestion might be a banana and a granola bar to get something in your body. Food is fuel. Just think about your car: would you skip putting gas in it’s when it’s almost empty?

I try to keep it light with an apple and a spoon of peanut butter. This breakfast is super cheap too, which is good if you’re a student like me. I eat it right after completing the drink water moment.

I used to follow intermittent fasting for a long time hence skipping breakfast and my first meal would be lunch. Since fabulous suggested eating breakfast i thought i could do it for a change and gave it a shot. So far, i am enjoying having my breakfast and i feel my brain is more active and productive. I usually have a fruit like apple/banana. I keep them in my cube at work. Sometimes yogurt and granola.

I have struggled to eat breakfast earlier due to immediately after waking up being focused on my work via mobile phone. Now instead of reading my emails and getting lost with the ongoing tasks I have at the office I immediately drink water and start my morning exercise, stretching and meditation routine followed by shower and healthy breakfast and some reading of a book. I will check my emails earliest on my way to office or many times only when arriving to the office.
