Fruit and some protein! The fruit wakes up the body and the digestive system and the protein helps the sugar in the fruit to absorb more slowly helping you to stay full longer. I’m vegan so i always go for either an apple or banana with some peanut butter.

I don’t know if there’s a specific time, it all depends of the hour you wake up at and the time you "have to spare" before going to work. Anyways, not matter at what time you eat breakfast, be sure of having enough time to eat slow and calmly, because if you eat too fast then you won’t feel full or you will feel like puking, which has happened to me. But it’s up to you, just do what works better in your case.

Preferisco fare colazione dopo aver bevuto il caffè con calma, circa un’oretta dopo essermi svegliata ma non troppo vicino all’orario di pranzo. L’orario migliore è fra le 9.30 e le 10.00.

After waking up, I usually like to eat my breakfast around 15-ish minutes after. I tend to wake up at 6, so 6:15 is the perfect time for me

I usually wakeup at 5 in the morning, then after a few minute in the bathroom i go for a walk or just get a move, then after that i prepare my breakfast, its just hard boiled egg or some fruit

Waking up- my morning routine of opening the curtains and letting the sun in, letting the dogs out, feeding the cats, letting the dogs in, morning bones, and my meds comes first, then my morning caffeine and I’m off to clean up and shower. When I’m gorgeous enough to face the day I can relax and eat a good breakfast before getting started with my work routine. (Which is never routine. Ever.)

I personally like to get up go straight to the bathroom, freshen up (wash face, brush teeth, brush hair, shower etc) that way I feel refreshed and ready for the day! Sometimes I will get dressed first (depending on work and other responsibilities) Then I will have breakfast!

I start prepping my breakfast 30 mins after am up and will normally sit down with the kids within the hour for a nice healthy meal for all before morning errands and life comes calling

My answer to that would be to listen to your body and to eat when you are hungry, but some people believe that intermittent fasting (or not breaking your fast until lunch time) is a good idea too. I have found that it works best for me to get up and do my workout straight away, and then eat my breakfast afterwards. This works for me because I do a fairly short workout at home and I am not that hungry when I first wake up. I never skip breakfast though, because when I do I feel like I’m starving and I don’t like to deprive myself. I just have a routine, and breakfast time is usually after my workout.

The best time for me is before my first physical appointment of the day. I really find it hard to each a large breakfast so my example of breakfast is yogurt and cereal, walnuts and cheese stick; or an apple.
