I think that it varies based on your own individual body, and even that can change over time. When I was school aged, I had to have breakfast soon after I woke up to ensure I had a good breakfast before school. This habit continued into adulthood. Get up, get dressed, eat breakfast. Then a bit later, when I had my son and wasn’t working, I found that my body preferred to wait a bit longer to eat breakfast. I am happiest when I have been up for 2-3 hours before I eat. I am fortunate enough that at my current job, I am a teacher, I have a break that is about 3 hours after I wake up, so I bring my breakfast to work. This is what works for my body. Everyone needs to connect with their own body, and make changes to what works best for both your body, as well as your schedule. Best wishes!

I’d say about 45 minutes it’s a nice in between and you’ll be just enough awake and hungry and it’s a good start to the day

12-14 hours after your last meal the day before. If that seems much, set it as a goal and try 10 hours, gradually increasing your fasting time to 12 hours and beyond. Learn about intermittent fasting. It’s game changing for your body and mind.

Depends on whether my family members will wake up and want anything or if I work that day. Another thing that might happen is that I’ll want pancakes or waffles with syrup because their awesome and I want to indulge a little.

I think it´s generally recomended 1 hour after waking up. But sometimes, when i am not really hungry i will eat the breakfast 2 hours after waking up :)

Yes, there is a preferable time range. I like to eat breakfast about 45 minutes after I wake up. As soon I get up I exercise and take a shower. Then I eat breakfast. I do this because as soon as I wake up I have motivation and energy to start my day by exercising. After exercising I eat to get ready to work.

I have it 15 min after waking up, as having water in the morning helps to open my stomach, but you can try to have it after doing some exercise so that it might feel more natural to have food

I think it differs daily. Some days I wake up hungry and some days I really have to force myself to eat in the morning, but if it approaches an hour and I haven’t eaten, I force myself to have at least something small. Also drink water as soon as you wake up! That usually makes wanna eat soon after

Um im not a nutritionist or any expert but i prefer having breakfast after 1 hour of waking up just to get your whole body working first....

I like to do yoga/some light exercise first thing in the morning - on an empty stomach. Then i shower, then i eat breakfast. So almost 30 min after waking up:)
