Fruit usually helps - it’s easier to talk yourself into eating one blueberry (and you can always eat one more and one more and... you get the idea) than for example an egg. When I’m feeling sick or when I’m not hungry or just don’t want to eat, small fruit (or fruit cut into small pieces) is my best friend.
I have only just begun my long journey to goal. So far I have completed the water drinking challenge and the Breakfast in the morning challenge. Tomorrow I begin my exercise challenge. I haven’t yet encountered nausea in the morning but sometimes I don’t feel hungry in the morning. When this happens I eat a small breakfast anyway. I rotate between oatmeal w/walnuts with raisins, sunny side up eggs on Barley toast, and yogurt & granola. My Fabulous app has helped me to make the morning habit of eating a healthy protein mindful breakfast a new foundation in the re-building of my life.
I feel like any sort of fresh fruit always seemed more appetizing than eggs or cereal on days that I didn’t have an appetite.i could eat small amounts and it felt fresh versus heavy and boggy
Well, it’s hard, but I try when I can. Since I take meds in the morning, my tummy just doesn’t feel like munching something down. If I’m able to and not running super late, I try and grab a granola bar and maybe a piece of fruit. Grab and go snacks are good for someone like me to have when I’m not in the mood for breakfast. I like the Rx protein bars because they are low in sugar and have 10-12 g of protein. I also like having a cup of tea and a cup of coffee when I’m at work. I should probably invest in a Keirig machine, and always make sure I have breakfast bars on hand just in case. That way I can be sure I’m taking care of myself even if my body is making it a little more challenging.
Depending on the reason, a more general option would be saltines, rice, or some toast. Limit the amounts of fat content and try to keep it protein rich.
I typically do have some type of appetite in the morning. But, if it’s less than usual I’ll just do a protein+fruit smoothie. I’ve been trying to do a yogurt/granola combo and sometimes get too full so I’ve been making smaller portions...it does take some time to get used to eating breakfast. Good luck!
This is hardly ever for me, as I always look forward to a big breakfast. But on weird days, I will make myself a Spark by Advocare to give me my daily dose of vitamins. And then I will typically make myself have some sort of fruit.
I drink tea or just warm water. Warm drinks are better than lukewarm or cold water. After I feel better then I’ll have a late breakfast that is not too heavy that it destroys my appetite for lunch.
If I feel nauseous or don’t have an appetite I usually have some water or a glass of tea ....then if I can eat I have yogurt and some berries
Some fruit and perhaps an yoghurt. Hopefully I’ll have a better appetite later in the day to compensate for the small breakfast.
