What do you do if you’re not hungry in the morning?

Darryl I.
Well at first, I wasn’t hungry in the morning because I wasn’t used to eating breakfast at all. I started with small portions (like only an apple or a yogurt) and very quickly my body knew to except breakfast and became hungry. Now I eat granola with: yogurt, apple, dried cranberries, chia seeds and a date. Ohh and a cup of coffee and lots of water.

I drink a protein shake (when protein without artificial sweeteners or such mixed with cold water) regardless if I feel hungry or not.
Shawn Y.
I don’t care for breakfast food much and am not hungry in the morning but I make a protein shake or smoothie and drink it. That way I’m not skipping it all together. I use diet mixes with milk or water they have vitamins and minerals like meal replacements.
Lucas Z.
Today I overslept morning routine, but last days I try first drink water and be grateful, meditate, than breakfast, and cleaning teeth

Well I have had those mornings when I’m not hungry but the best choice is to force yourself to eat because if you don’t eat in the morning it could lead to bad consequences such grumpy all day, hungry all day, and you may not even feel well. There’s your answer hope it helps!

I sometimes fix a high protein breakfast with cheese, eggs and sausage. I find if I don’t eat I will munch on goods I should not eat.
Isabella S.
Normally, if Im not hungry in the morning, I’ll make myself hungry! Working out, taking my time to cook a nice breakfast, etc!
Adam G.
I still eat lil. I believe it keeps my metabolism and will make me crave fewer .its an opportunity to eat lesser than you eat normally when you're hungry
Darryl B.
I eat something that's not very filling like a peice of fruit, some yogurt, or a small protein shake that's light on sugar. Also, I always have healthy snacks on hand, so if I'm not ready to eat at 7am, I'll have something to munch on at 10am.
Tilde F.
I always make sure to grab a bottle of water or a vitamin rich drink, just because I don’t feel hungry right away doesn’t mean I’m not dehydrated.

If you’re not hungry in the morning it’s usually just your body fooling you, you’re too tired or you have got a bad habit. It’s important to eat breakfast everyday, if you don’t then the day will go slower. You’ll easier be annoyed and get a headeach. So I try to eat everyday, even if I’m not hunger, even if I feel like there’s nothing to eat.

Depends on my day, if it’s an ‘at home’ day I eat later and just potter. If it’s a normal ‘get going be out of the house before 8am’ day I take something with me (like belvita) and eat on the go when I’m ready.
Eleanor P.
Unless I am sick, I am always hungry in the morning. Breakfast is my favorite meal, and the only one where I will not overindulge. I am thankful for this.
Ma Lia C.
I try to eat a little something no matter what… And if I’m really not hungry I’ll drink a little bit of a protein shake
Cristine F.
Well most likely i do not eat anything because I’m full from the last day and if I am hungry I just drink water and then eat some wheat toast.
Nelmo T.
I still try to eat something, even if it’s just a banana. I learned the hard way years ago that not eating breakfast isn’t the best option for me, especially if I’m going to be particularly active during the day.
Kiara S.
Depends on my day, if it’s an ‘at home’ day I eat later and just potter. If it’s a normal ‘get going be out of the house before 8am’ day I take something with me (like belvita) and eat on the go when I’m ready.
Eddie W.
I try to eat or drink just something, like a protein shake or recently I’ve tried amazing grass protein glow. If you don’t like that sort of thing, even just a few bites of something really easy to eat has helped just try to kickstart the day with something
Nikolaj Z.
Personally, I prepare the night before something healthy that I want to eat in the morning, something good that you can't say no!
It worked for me 🙂

Just to maintain the habit, you have to make sure that you are tricking you brain. Don't eat too much but you can have atlest one fruit or dry fruits to make sure you had something in the morning.
Marcus E.
I just don't eat, actually. Then I feel super hungry by about nine and regret that decision. I either eat lots of carbs and/or junk or spend money unnecessarily.
Herminia P.
I usually don’t eat too late in the afternoon so that kind of makes me be hungry in the morning. I used to not feel hungry but i then saw it’s not about the morning, it’s about the evening. Hope this helps!
Daisy U.
I'm rarely hungry in early am, but I also know eating something is essential to the rest of my day. EAT LIGHT! I eat oatmeal, fruit, yogart, nuts, wheat toast and usually range 150-200 calories. I have coffee with coffeemate creamer which is included in those calories. JUST DO IT!
Thea Z.
I never really had this issue but sometimes if I have heavy dinner then next morning I don’t feel very hungry. So I would say eating early dinner and no snacks before bed might help.

Priscilla C.
This is a tough question for me because I have always enjoyed breakfast. I always prepare myself to have a complete healthy breakfast. I do have a couple of advices. The first one is to have an early and small dinner. The second one is to leave things prepare for the morning. Think of easy meals or leave some steps ready. The third one is go for something you enjoy, this way you are more willing to create the habit. One last advice is to wake up a bit earlier than normal to allow time to have a nice breakfast. I know most people prefer to sleep 5 more minutes, but I guarantee that a proper breakfast can provide you with more energy for your day than those 5 more minutes of sleep.
Christy T.
This is unusual for me but if it does ever happen I opt for a smoothie as it can be sipped slowly if i’m not feeling like eating 🙂
Maria C.
If I am not hungry in the morning I still will try to eat, but just one egg and a cup of coffe, you can try not eating too much before bed, have just a light luch.
Margarete S.
Rarely happens to me, although it’s more common now that I’m getting used to intermittent fasting. I eat on a schedule for the most part since it’s an issue for me.
Oliver C.
This will normally happen if you're eating too late at night. However, if this is not the case, start eating small snacks and you will soon get hungry in the morning. It may just be a habit you've developed. Normally if I wake up tired I know my body needs food. It just makes sense that after 8 hours your body will need food0.and from articles I read it is usually protein. Keep this in mind the next time you don't feel hungry.
Ang Lico A.
Usually I have no problems with eating in the morning, but if I feel like food can't get into me, I found out a solution for myself. I make my breakfast and take it with me to my work. If I don't want to eat at 8 in the morning, it doesn't mean that I won't be hungry in an hour. So instead of eating sweets when I start to feel hungry I just take out my breakfast 🙂

Drink a glass of cold water with a squeeze of lemon. Try small bites. Like a half of a banana or Apple. Toast with jelly (no butter). Introduce small bites to jump start your appetite. Your metabolism will thank you later!

Robert Z.
Drink water anyway. Your body will thank you for it. And pack a granola bar or something light as a snack. If you ate a late dinner you might not be hungry first thing in the morning, but if you are like me the hunger will hit you out of nowhere.
Lisa S.
I used to not be hungry in the morning, but as I implemented better habits, that started to change. Try drinking your breakfast at first – like a small glass of kefir or chocolate almond milk. Get yourself in the habit of having something, and then check in with yourself overtime to see if you’re hungry for more. Also, make it delicious so that you look forward to eating breakfast.

Ellen O.
I would make sure I’ve had some water and if I didn’t feel hungry I would prep something for when I do. I am trying to listen to my body and if I am not hungry I won’t force myself to eat. Make a veggie smoothie even, something light but nutritious
Harry O.
You would intermittently fast.

It's often healthy when one delays eating right when your digestion system wakes up.

If you research the term "intermittent fasting" you'll find something that fits your hunger's behavior and benefit your body.

I do 16/8 IF.

It's all in listening to your body, don't force what you don't feel.

Take care! From a friend, Randilynn M.

Vanessa C.
I will drink alot of water and do some dancing. Drink water allow my intestine to move which allow me to “do my business in the toilet”. Having an empty stomach make you more hungry. Plus a little dancing to burn my energy away which make me more hungry in the morning!!.

Oliver E.
When I'm not hungry that probably means it is too early. It happens often when I have to wake up at 6am. My body is not ready to get food. So I am ok with that and postpone my breakfast for later. I think it is good to respect your body in this cases.
Shane N.
Not being hungry in the morning is the sign of a slowed metabolism! Start with something light like Greek yogurt, one hard-boiled egg, or a protein shake. Fueling the body properly and adding in strength training will have you looking forward to your healthy breakfast in no time!
Klaus Werner C.
I usually am hungry in the morning, but if I am not hungry then I just drink water and try to keep myself hydrated till I feel hungry. I usually don't eat if I don't feel hungry in morning.
Jonathan Y.
I’m eating my breakfast everyday even if I’m not hungry. I love that moment in the morning when I just sit looking out of the window while having a piece of bread and a banana.
Dustin F.
If I’m not in a hurry, I just wait an hour or so until I’m hungry. If I need to get out of the house I choose something light, like cereal or a piece of fruit.
Jar S.
Usually I'll eat anyways but I've been trying to prolong my fasting so, I may just have a shake later in the morning when I fell hungry.
Katherine W.
I used to just not eat. But now I want to try to always have something in the dorm that I can eat before getting started with my school work. I think I would write a lot better if I did. From now on, I plan to go to giant eagle to buy yogurt. I will get low fat and low sugar and also buy some granola. I think I can throw in some of my peanuts too (or peanut butter). That's what I'll do.
Tatiane Q.
If I have a reminder at eat something like an apple or a carrot or something but if I don't have a reminder I just have coffee
Jeffrey Y.
I always eat. Often if I skip not too much later I will be hungry. It is a routine. I eat every 2 or 3 hours so that I don't get hungry and binge eat everything I see.
Patrick M.
Have water and don’t eat. But don’t skip lunch. Too long without food is not good. Sometimes you just don’t feel hungry
Sebastian Z.
Do not force yourself to eat. There are still, other healthy habits such as: drinking a glass of water with lemon or doing some light exercises which can help you start your day right.
Theresia T.
I try to eat a little snack.. for example apple or strawberrys… this is important ro your digestive sistem stars working and its prepared for the meal in the evening.. which contains more calories than breakfast and is harder ro digest… so breakfast is importans for you digestive sistem to start working and not be overwhelmed by the dinner…
Celina U.
If you are not hungry in the morning you should at least something. Even if it’s just a few almonds. Your body needs the energy and nutrients.
Justine T.
I meditate when I’m not hungry in the morning. I really concentrate on the energy, the way it moves through my body and how I’m going to use that energy to have a productive day. I have water for sure, maybe some juice and I take a few deep breaths while I start my morning routine.
Thomas C.
I grab a clean ingredients nutrition bar and stick jtnin my pocket to eat when I am hungry. If you don't like bars then any easy transportable food works. Preprepped fruits, nuts, hardboiled eggs, something I can throw in mouth when I am hungry no matter where I am.
Mads C.
I don’t usually eat my breakfast first thing in the morning after the cup of water. I travel to work and by that time I am ready to consume my breakfast
Isabelle F.
I drink the glass of water and either a smoothy or eat just a view pieces of berries. My true breakfast is around 9 or 10 when I am really hungry
Sarah F.
If I have to leave relatively soon after waking up, I’ll wat something. If I don’t have anywhere to be soon, I won’t eat until I’m hungry
Christian F.
When I'm not hungry I always eat a fruit or a little healthy snack that will give me energy through the day and don't feel weak
Gustav W.
I eat vey little dinner so I'm hungry in the morning. However if don't have time to make a full breakfast I just start boiling two eggs while I shower and then eat them hard-boiled.
Janique E.

I wait a few minutes and I tell myself not to have breakfast today…it’s just for today. then I feel guilty, I don't want to break the chain, because I believe in my change.
So I start with a small piece of bread with jam and slowly I sit down and have my breakfast. Even if it’s small, it’s always my breakfast…the second step of my Morning ritual!
