I just drink more water and start doing something else. I can have lots of reasons, but normally this happens when I’m sad.
If I’m hungry, I usually have a spare snack in my bag just in case. A small packet of granola, some mixed nuts, sometimes even a little to-go cup of protein powder. It’s something fast that I leave in my bag for when I need it, which h inevitably do. It’s also possible to make good choices when you go out for food, which is especially useful when you’re not prepared or forgot breakfast at home. I’ve been there. Try looking at options ahead of time so when hunger strikes and you’re left stranded, you still have options. Plain bagel with peanut butter and jelly, a bowl of oatmeal with fruit, or even peanut butter crackers from a coffee shop can be an option at the last minute. Try to see if you can customize your meal to have the most nutritional value and the least junk to fuel your day.
I fast until 10:30 if I miss this time frame I shift my eating so lunch becomes "breakfast", then I lunch around 2 or 3 pm, and finally dinner around 6. My feeding time is condensed this way. Which I do not know if it is how it should be done. But for now it works for me.
If I’m working that day, I’ll have a healthy but more filling lunch, if I missed breakfast on a day off it’s likely that I got up later than planned and would have had a small lunch instead.
Depends on what is missing If I am too busy for a full breakfast I make a fast cereal bowl or have a banana smoothie etc. If I miss it completely I just carry on with my day as usually paying extra attention to my cravings and trying to portion the day with some extra healthy snacks throughout the day or perhaps a small toast somewhere along the way
I very rarely miss breakfast. Sometimes I will eat breakfast later in the morning, if I have slept in. But I am usually hungry in the morning so that motivates me to have something to eat.
I drink something fulfilling like a smoothie and eat nuts or cookies and I take a kinda brunch like lunch to balance it out
I eat a bigger lunch or a late snack. And sometimes I end up eating too much later. I feel it takes more time for me to gain energy in the day than if I would’ve ate breakfast. Most of the time when I skip breakfast is when I had a late start to my day.
Short answer, I don’t. Long answer is that I have backups always ready, a protein bar and a bag of nuts in my bag, at the office, and in my go bag. I always have something high protein & high good fats available if i cannot make a proper meal
If it’s possible, I try to make up for it whenever I am able. If I can drink a glass of juice or buy a bottle while out, I do. When I worked in an office, I kept oatmeal packets in a drawer in case I didn’t have a chance to eat at home. If it’s possible to have a few things around like granola bars that you can grab if you miss breakfast, that can help too.
