It is not okay because you have already waited to late to fuel your body. You need to eat by 30 minutes after waking up in order for body to begin burning fat.

I think so! Especially if it’s still your first meal of the day! Just be sure to follow the same basic principle of making healthy choices and you should be good. :)

It could be okay to have brunch for breakfast. It depends if on if your getting the protein and nutrients you want/need. If you keep it heathly brunch for breakfast shouldnt be to bad.

My impression is that having a small amount of protein early on—a hard-boiled egg, for example—satiates you and prevents your body from going into starving mode where your metabolism slows—the opposite of what you want. It also prevents the drop in blood sugar followed by the spike when you eat again at noon. Healthy metabolism is keeping your blood sugar as even as possible with frequent small meals so having a big brunch won’t do that. Also depends on what you eat—protein and complex carbs will be healthier than simple carbs. So it’s fine to do, but better if you have some protein early on.

Brunch for me is all about indulgence and less about the time of day. But indulging all the time isn’t really good for us. I would say as a treat, a holiday, or a special occasion brunch for breakfast is totally OK! But you probably shouldn’t do French Toast everyday 🤠

I don’t see why not! As long as you’re eating healthy. My guess is the aim would be to focus on breakfast though: by doing so you would in theory be up earlier and therefore have more time to devote to other healthy endeavors. Good luck!

It is better to start the day with a healthy breakfast but if you get up late or have a sleep in having brunch is still better than waiting for lunch

It depends on when you wake up. You shouldn’t wait hours to eat something. But if you sleep in on weekends, and wake up at 9:30 (just an example), having brunch at 10:30/11 shouldn’t be a problem.

I would eat something small when you wake up to tie you over until it’s time for brunch. I just don’t do well if I don’t eat within an hour of waking.

We are all living according to different work hours, wake up hours, LIFE hours. I think it’s best to have a healthy breakfast most of the time but if you want to have brunch... have brunch! Live it up! Of course you can have brunch ❤️ Brunch is good for the soul. Especially when brunching with friends. I often eat breakfast a little later... some of us like to eat later. Myself included. Brunch is ok 👌🏻
