Why is it that breakfast is much harder to maintain a routine than lunch/dinner?

Sorry. I don’t have that challenge. I love to eat. Especially eating great things to make me great. So that’s a routine I gladly pounce on every morning. Are you eating things you love to eat and that are good for you? Like blueberries, avocado, cottage cheese, raw seeds, cranberries, oat bran, yogurt, dark chocolate? I’m getting hungry just writing about this! I can’t wait for tomorrow’s breakfast! 😆

I believe breakfast is much harder because it’s in the beginning of the day. When one is used to sleep (or loves sleep), it can can get challenging to get up and make breakfast, just as it is challenging to wake up and do anything. I personally don’t have issues eating breakfast just because I’ve included this in my routine every morning but still struggle with other challenges to begin my day - exercise, tidying, etc.

I feel the same and I think it is so much more work to change because it seems so unnatural. For me is cafe latte in the morning enough on the way to work and I really enjoy it. Now I have to wake up earlier and make some food which is supposed to be delicious. Then I have to eat it although I do nit feel hungry at all, so I am not really enjoying it and it does not taste so delicious. Lunch and dinner I am more making with somebody else so it feels easier, it feels more natural simply. It is really hard, this brekfast thing......but we will make it! We will succeed!!!

Because for most people, its difficult to get the day started. If you aren’t a morning person, you will have to work harder at training yourself to get out of bed and get straight to your goal. Having a motivating factor will help. Ask yourself, why am I getting up? For me, the answer is always so that I can make a better life for my children. I have to work, teach, and provide. Plus, I want to be a better me.

Breakfast is harder to maintain over lunch and dinner because we often don’t have the time to prepare it and sit down to enjoy it each day. Try getting up a little bit earlier or making hard boiled eggs in advance to enjoy on your commute.

People tend to burn the candle at both ends leaving sleeping to the last possible moment before dashing out the door... and sometimes its just not feeling hungry to motivate you to eat.

For me, my mornings rarely have the same routine. Some mornings I have time for a sit down breakfast, some mornings are on the go. So I look ahead at my week and plan which mornings I’ll have my “on the go breakfast” and which mornings I can make a sit down meal

For me it’s because breakfast is less social. I eat lunch and dinner with others such as colleagues and family. I get up early, and in that process do not connect with family as often unless they too are rising early. I also try to intermittently fast in the mornings but do call breakfast 1-2 liters of water or a plain cup of coffee.

Because in the morning you don’t always have time to prepare breakfast except if you wake up earlier but for that you would have to change your complete sleeping routine and that could take months. And also in the morning you would rather eat you’re sugary cornflakes than something healthy.
