Go back to sleep / rest / do something else until you feel hungry. Really the important thing is you eat before heading to work / day’s activity. What you eat should depend on your activity. Driving to an office job ~ very light breakfast mainly protein, cycling to a building site, big breakfast with plenty of protein n carbs.
Eat something small, light. Alternatively, you could eat a few bites of a bigger meal and pack the rest for a mid-morning snack.
Usually, I’ll have a cup of tea and a glass of water on those days, at least until the hunger sets in. When that happens, I have some porridge or a light sandwich.
You can wait at least an hour and if you still don’t feel hungry maybe a light snack like a piece of fruit, some yogurt or a smoothie would suffice, just to have something in your stomach to give you a little energy boost for the rest of your morning.
You can do some exersise first, like go for a walk or you can take your breakfast with you to work and eat it when you arrive.
If you don’t feel hungry if you wake up super early, then drink water. That will at least fill your stomach and hold you until you feel hungry
If you wake up super early and don’t feel hungry yet you should still honour your new ritual. Head to the kitchen as you would and take the time to make yourself the nicest cup of coffee or tea or whatever drink you like to have in the morning. If it’s a coffee, pretend you are the most pro barista and make your coffee with great care, focussing on each step of the process and enjoying it too. If it’s tea, pretend you’re in Japan and have a special tea ceremony - wash your mug, dry it, smell the tea leaves before you brew/place the tea bag into the water. Aim to take as long with this as you would with the preparation of your breakfast. Then, if you can, add a small snack into the mix. So that you have something to wake up your tummy with. It could be a fruit or a cereal bar. Then before you start your day, make sure you have another healthy snack with you ready so that hunger doesn’t catch you off guard before lunch time!
Eu costumo fazer uma breve sessão de yoga, que alonga e aquece o corpo, preparando-o para o dia. Geralmente isso é suficiente pra que eu sinta fome o suficiente para comer bem.
If it’s before my usual breakfast time, wait until it’s breakfast. Routine is important, otherwise you’re prone to overeating.
If you don’t feel hungry enough to eat, will feel it later. My advice would be to take a protein bar with you or something small to calm your hunger down until lunchtime
