My husband has a janitorial service. On Saturday mornings it's a routine that we do a service or 2 before getting something to eat. As long as I have a piece of fruit and maybe a glass of water I should be okay. Right.

    I don't see why not.
    When I don't have time for breakie I blend together a scoop of chocolate protein powder, a banana, kale and almond coconut milk. You can take it with you and sip as you go

    Also eating breakfast isn't a prerequisite. If you're not hungry, you don't have to eat anything.

    I've been told that a banana will keep your hunger at bay longer than others

    Thanks. I'm trying not to do processed stuff. So I guess 2 fruits with a green veggie mix should be good. Thanks again.

    If you want. It sounds like you think you have to eat first thing. It's up to you. If you find you have no issue performing your duties without eating, you can do that, or find a quick something to hold you over until after. Totally up to you =) Something with protein, fat, fiber would be good to keep you satiated for longer, generally. Like suggested, a protein powder in milk or smoothie.

    I usually like a cup of yogurt and two tablespoons of walnuts if I can't eat breakfast right away. I find that fruit doesn't stay with me long enough.

    Do you like to eat breakfast

    How about porridge with honey and sliced banana to fuel you through your cleaning ...that must be a physical taxing job

    Or scrambled egg ..on toast (ok not so much a fruit)

    If you need breakfast then a piece of fruit won't cut it IMO

    Although a banana, Greek yogurt, raspberries milk smoothie might

    I like grapefruit in the morning, or a banana, although I prefer the latter as an afternoon snack (I read somewhere it helps you sleep better).

    Yeah. That's probably the easiest. Orange you have to peel and can be messy. Nectarines and plums too. Apple's IDK why I don't like biting in to so I cut up.

    Wouldn't the green veggie mix be processed? Or do you mean a mix of real green veggies?

    Personally I like bananas in the morning (I also use them in a protein smoothie for breakfast like others have mentioned above) I like the flavour, the creamy texture and the predetermined portion size hahaha.

    Be ok for what exactly? Are you worried about being hungry and needing to eat a little something to stave off hunger? Or are you thinking you absolutely must eat first thing in the morning? If it's the latter, don't worry about it.

    My first instinct is to say "all of them". Enjoy a variety. Add a protein for staying power like yogurt or an egg.

    Yes. I read something about kick starting the metabolism by eating first thing in the morning. Saturdays I just don't have the time.

    Something to kick start the metabolism. I read somewhere something about having to kick start the metabolism when trying to lose weight. Monday through Friday I'm good. It's just Saturdays.

    That is not true. Your metabolism doesn't need a kick start. Eat when you want, at a deficit, and you'll lose weight.

    I said when. And you can eat what you want, even if it's french fries-if it fits into your deficit and you have hit your macros for the day (if that's important to you).

    I mean, I don't even know what to say to that there. So if someone peeled it for you, you would eat that?

    Well. Knowing my schedule I guess I could peel it the night before and just stick it in the fridge.

    My thoughts were, you said you don't have time...are you hungry? Make a nice sandwich the night before & pack one to eat while the Hubs drives to your location. If you are trying to incorporate more fruit into your daily nutrition, grapes, bananas, blueberries, rasb/strawberries are easy & not messy. Wrap peaches/pears/plums in a paper towel & eat away, keeping the messy part soaked up in the paper towel.

    Peeling an orange takes like, 20 seconds? We're not talking about a pineapple or a pomegranate here :P
