I work graveyard shifts and wake up at 9 pm. For me, breakfast is late night, does anyone else have an unusual breakfast hour? If so, is your breakfast a traditional one or more like a dinner type meal?

I’m not that unusual but actually i was started my day around 11 am. And the good breakfast for me is rice, chicken, egg, vegetables. It’s gonna fill me up until next 6 hours

A light breakfast to not make you sleepy but make sure it contains protein to make you full such as eggs or oats and milk.

Hmmm... mine is consider as tradisional one. But anyway, as long as you feed your body nutrients and keep it hydrated,byright your body will be fine :)

No matter what our first day of the meal is, our body still stays the same in terms of metabolism. For many people light dinner works for them. Personally, if I have situation like that, I go light on my first meal of the day. Heavy on lunch and again a bit light for dinner. Of course my meal plan throughout the day is accompanied by snacks like nuts and fruits or just plain black coffee. Hope this helps and remember to listen to your body. It will tell you what it needs.

If your day begin at 9pm, I think that the best breakfast you can take is a traditional one. It’s not because you wake up late at night that it changes everything. It’s kind of the same thing. The dinner is at the end of the "day". The breakfast, at the beginning.

You are doing great. Keep on, imagine we are on a different time zones, yes our schedules don’t really matter, it maybe 9pm for you and where I am it could be 9am.....and that’s still great you know☺️

My schedule varies. I typically work one or two super late nights a week which have me then sleeping until noon & those days I don’t eat until 1. It’s tricky to get a routine this way!

I don’t have an unusual breakfast hour. However, I encourage you to eat whatever feels best. Eat for fuel but also don’t forget that food can’t be pleasure.

Hi I always have a breakfast which is a dinner for most of the people. In the morning, after 1 hour since I wake up, will have pasta, chicken, bacon and eggs, cheese... Bread... And fruits as dessert. Something like that, something that people have during the day or as dinner, not at breakfast. And for me that savory salted (not sweet/cake) type of breakfast is the best ever. It doesn’t depend on the time hours of the day, it’s about getting energy from healthy food.

I have unusual hours and I focus on meals that give me the fuel I need. This includes a healthy fat like eggs, avocado or salmon, lightly cooked veggies like spinach and a healthy, gluten free carb like banana or brown rice. My energy is sustainable and I have fewer cravings!
