Is there a timeframe once waking up that is best to eat breakfast by to kickstart the body? Is it best to eat as soon as you get up or later? Or is it more about just trying to get a breakfast in?

I like to get up and make my coffee and breakfast and sit somewhere pleasant and take my time eating straight after my mediation and mindful movements

I find that I need about 30 minutes before I can eat. Ussually I get ready for work and then make breakfast. I always eat breakfast. By the time i get to the office I am satisfied and my first coffee has been drunk.

It’s just about trying to get the breakfast in. But preparing to ensure that things are available for preparing breakfast is something I spend more time in. I tend to spend more time on the preparing breakfast, eat food like eggs and toast at the breakfast table, and take a bowl of cut fruit to the car and eat during my commute to work.

I’m just trying to get breakfast in - my mornings feel hectic so I always end up waiting to eat until I get to work which means my breakfast has to be portable.

I like to eat as soon as possible, allowing preferably only for morning prep activities to delay it.

I think depending on your body and your activity routine, you want to get your breakfast in as early as possible to make sure your body is properly fueled to sustain you throughout the day and to avoid binge eating on the wrong foods.

I try to eat within 30 minutes, I have my water, have a snuggle with th e baby, make the bed, change his nappy, pop on the coffee machine and start breakfast

It’s hard for me to answer, since I had the RNY surgery. But I find it easier to eat when I get to work, around 8-9am. I’ll eat something while I check emails, and then maybe snack around 10isg

Our body tends to follow a rythm called the circadian rythm. Being out of sync with this rythm is what makes our body uneasy. The best time to have breakfast according to many ayurvedic scriptures and research, is from morning 7-9. We must give at least 30 minutes to kick start out metabolism before supplying the body with food. Hope this answers your question.

I personally feel that 7-9 am is the best time for breakfast. When you wake up,the first thing to do is drink water. Do whatever you have planned for the morning like any exercise routine or meditation, then get ready and go for breakfast.
