Is it okay to eat breakfast later in the morning (more like brunch)? Because it takes me a while to get hungry after I get up in the morning...like 2 1/2 - 3 hours!

I was that kind of person but now I prefer eating breakfast after getting up in the morning, it gives you energy and helps establish a balance between meals during the day

Not for me. Drink water first, walk or tend to baby, and then I’m hungry.

I think I need to prepare for breakfast in advance and also I normally eat breakfast after a workout so will input the data once complete like a bruxnh around 10

Before starting to use Fabulous, I was the same as you. The thought of food absolutely sickened me first thing in the morning! What I did was start small. I had three strawberries for the first week. The next week I had a banana and three strawberries. Keep building yourself up this way. Now, I can’t make the hour after waking up without breakfast! Hope this helps 😊

It is okay to eat breakfast later in the morning if you don’t feel ravenous. Just make sure that when you eat , your meal is something that will sustain you for a few hours. Also ensure not to overeat.

Eat breakfast regardless if you are hungry, perhaps eating smaller portions. You can opt for granola with yoghurt for example if you want to eat less.

Breakfast should be eaten within 1 hour of walking up. If you do protein pacing throughout the day, you will have more energy, be more satisfied, and create a healthier weight.

My first thought was sure-OK-but then I thought-what are you doing in those hours BEFORE you “eat a good breakfast”? I wouldn’t want to waste those hours-I want to give them my all-ACTION

I guess it’s fine as long as you don’t skip it. What happens is that if we skip breakfast, wich is supposed to charge us with the energy we need to start our days, we tend to eat bigger lunches.

I get up at 5 everyday, commute from 545 to 730 (walking and a train), I work until 9 then eat my breakfast as I’m ready for it and I can last until lunch without a snack
