No, not necessarily. Taking time to refresh and making sure your mind is completely awake first is better for me. This makes the breakfast more thoughtful and appreciated.

You should, but this is something I struggle with as when I wake up I usually lay in bed on my phone for approx. another hour.

No, First drink atleast 2-3 glass of normal water as per your convenience and then get fresh. Move your body by stretching a little bit and then eat your healthy breakfast like An Apple or Egg items low in Fat or Oat meal.

I do intermittent fasting so my first meal is around 11am. For that meal ive been trying what this app recommended to eat for breakfast

Depends on your body and your goals. A study found that compressed feeding windows (delaying breakfast and eating dinner earlier) caused fat loss with no changes in diet.

Personally, I like to eat 30-60 minutes after I wake. I drink my water... if I’m working out I would rather do that with very little in my stomach. So I might eat a banana , workout, then have breakfast.

I do, because I take my vitamins with food. However if I excersise, I just drink water and get on the treadmill, then eat after.

I like to eat within an hour of waking up, so that I can get my metabolism started. However, in the mornings I go to the gym, I wait until after my body has cooled down from the workout before eating.

Right after waking up the first thing you need to do is drink a glass of water, your body needs hydration after a long period of sleep. Right after the water you should eat breakfast, a rich breakfast to help you go through the day.

No. We have to give time for our digestive system to start working before we eat our breakfast. We must first drink a glass or two of water then after 30 mins or so thats the time we can have our breakfast
