Probably not. If your not being mindful of what your eating and instead watching TV you could eat too fast over over eat. Not really sure though.

I often do, although it doesn’t feel like the ideal situation. I like to listen to the news on the radio or an interesting or educational podcast while I eat breakfast.

This is a very good question! I too eat while watching television. But I also enjoy focusing on food and do it more often. If not TV 📺 then I watch news or might be logging habits on Fabulous 🤣. Basically, I don’t overthink but enjoy best of both worlds.

Eating breakfast for me is something I’m enjoying early morning specially most of my family members are present to share it together. That’s why -I assume- I never thought about watching TV at the same time.

I would prefer not to engage in other activities like watching tv or internet browsing, emails while eating breakfast. Because I tend to eat more than I need or won’t enjoy it if my mind is focused on something else other than food.

I wouldn’t recommend doing anything but eating while you’re eating. Think of it as being present to the experience of the food and listening to your body to say when it’s full, and to eat at an appropriate pace. I think it is more likely that you would over eat if you ate while watching tv because your attention is not attuned to your body.

I would say no, because you will procrastinate and after you are done eating, you will want to just sit and continue to put things off then getting a heard start on your day.

The morning is for setting intentions and visualizing the day. If someone is awake you should socialize. However, if this things are already done, it’s totally ok to watch TV.

It’s not good choice. Be mindful when you eat your food, enjoy every bit of it. There is risk of overeating if our attention is somewhere else. Besides, TV is bad for mental health. Avoid it as much as possible.

Idk mate but I do it and it’s ok for me…. I feel good so I think it depends on how you feel about it. Some people have nausea or something like that, but if you can handle it and you feel great so it’s OK👍have a nice day🙌
