    With everyone regarding food.

    As I get up so early I find that I want to eat ALLLL morning. There is so much time between waking and lunch! AHHHH how do you all handle this?

    I do best with a small shake for breakfast then an early lunch. If I eat a decent sized breakfast, it makes me hungrier before lunch. Even if it's a 200 calorie bowl of cereal, real food makes me get hungrier. So, I avoid it until lunch.

    I always see there are overnight/late night topics.. but what about EARLY MORNING?

    Most mornings I wake at 5am and work until 2pm.

    If you work early mornings - when do you eat breakfast? Do you eat right away? When do you do your workout? Lets see what early morning people are up to! =)

    I don't eat breakfast, my first meal of the day is ~1pm, post workout.
    Last meal is ~8pm

    Up at 0445, start making my quick oatz, take care of the dog - by then the oatz have been in hot water for at least five minutes and are both cool enough and cooked enough to eat. Make coffee. Eat, drink, go to train.

    Mind, I am not a morning person, at all. Getting out of work at 1500 is kind of cool though, and leaves me plenty of time to work out.

    Morning! I don't get up quite as early as you, but I normally get out of bed by 5:45, make a green smoothie before I leave for work, and then drink it around 7-8ish, after I've had a cup of coffee and whenever I feel awake enough to eat. I eat lunch around 11:30, and I'll have an apple or something if I get hungry before then. Then I'll go to the gym for half an hour right after I get home from work around 3:30, eat dinner around 5, and then go for a walk with a friend later on in the evening.

    I wake at 4 to be at work by 6 (there now). I eat breakfast right before I leave (around 5) and then have more mid morning snacks planned for around 8 and 10 (plus copious amounts of black coffee). On the weekends I tend to try to wait til 7 or 8 to eat but it doesn't always work out because I wake up starving.

    The swing shift are always cool people. I worked 2-10 for 4.5 years. Fun times, but no time with family at all!

    Up at 5:30, run or workout when I get up, at work by 7:15, and eat breakfast anytime between 8:00 and 10:30.... depends on when I get hungry and when I can sneak to the microwave to heat up my breakfast. :smile:

    My new born son wakes me up every hour of the night and sometimes it's tricky getting him back to sleep after feeding. So I do envy people that wake up at 5am :)
    It's best to kick start your metabolism with something warm like milk or raw foods like fruit, prunes etc... If I want to eat sweet food I will eat it in the morning after breakfast so I have the day to burn it off.

    I get up at 4:30 - 5am, doing food preparation until 9am. That's my daily workout of 2-3hrs beside strength training in the afternoon/night time for 20-30mins.

    Drinking a cup of ceylon/green for my mornings. I start my decent meal at 11-12noon. Last meal for dinner at 7-8pm.

    I am up at 2:30 a.m.. to be at the crew meeting site by 4 a.m., to then travel to the job site where the real work starts at 6a.m.

    I usually eat breakfast around 8:30 a.m. & do a light workout when I get home at 3 p.m.
