    I always feel really hungry whenever I wake up, I eat down a large meal every morning. Plus, it gives me a nice boost of energy:)

    During the work week I do since I'm more active. Weekends I just drink coffee and bank calories for a super tasty dinner with a few light calorie snacks to tide me over. There's really no right or wrong with when you eat. I balance between the two fairly easily.

    Almost always. I generally wake up hungry.
    I always have 2 cups of coffee, usually with 30 ml heavy cream or similar, and often two eggs as well, but sometimes I mix things up.

    Almost never. I have a snack before bed so I never wake up hungry. I generally don't eat until 11:30/12:30.

    No I fast. I started IF 16:8 last fall but most days I go almost 19 hours. Today 21 hours. Didn't break fast until about 7 pm. Dinner is in the oven now.

    I never liked the smell of food in morning , only coffee & if I ate I felt like a weight in my stomach all day but since mfp, I make a fruit/veggie smoothie & I can have that. I started that so I won't be starving by lunch. It's good

    Breakfast is my favorite meal (I had eggs and a smoothie for dinner)! I wake up hungry and ready to eat. I think part of it too is I'm traumatized from when I was in elementary school and I threw up at school. I went to the school nurse and she asked if I had eaten any breakfast (this was before lunch) and I said no. She said I should eat breakfast and that should fix why I threw up. Ever since then, I rarely, if at all, skip breakfast.

    I also get cranky if I skip it or wait too long to eat. It screws up my eating the rest of the day, timing and my choices. I just want to grab whatever carb, fat loaded food I can get my hands on. I never realized it until I was wondering why I was craving unhealthy, high calorie foods.

    I never had breakfast but since a couple of weeks I do. Just some bread with meat or eggs.
    And I used to eat white bread but I changed it brown bread.

    When I am home I do. Sort of. I drink a Combat shake before my morning swim Monday through Saturday.
    Eggs with Neese's sausage and a bunch of onions, peppers, and wicked hot peppers.

    I always eat after 2 to 3 hours of waking up. But as my sleeping sheadule is never fixed my breakfast timing keeps changing, though It's never later then 11am.

    Absolutely! Everyday. Usually one to two hours after I get up.

    I rarely eat breakfast. If I'm hungry I eat, but it's very rare that I get hungry before noon.

    On days I do eat early I usually feel hungry all day long. I have to struggle not to overeat. I hate that feeling.

    I very rarely eat breakfast, except for my coffee in the morning. I've never been hungry first thing in the morning, so it seemed counterproductive to eat food that I wasn't wanting. Instead, my first meal of the day is usually around 1pm. Skipping breakfast then leaves me enough calories for a good lunch and dinner, as well as evening snacks.

    It's totally a matter of personal preference and what works best for you. :)

    I'm on mat leave, but when I'm working I wake up at 6:30, cycle to work, get changed and then eat breakfast around 9am while I check emails. If I eat before I leave I'm still hungry after my ride and end up eating two breakfasts :/

    Over the past 5ish years I've been doing IF and most days I don't start eating till after 10am (closer to 11am-noon). I'm not usually hungry in the morning and a coffee is enough to get me going. Right now I'm eating earlier though, due to needing to take a prescription for shingles and it's messing my whole day up :p I really prefer my IF eating window and can't wait to get back into it!

    I don't know what you would call me. I just kind of eat when I am hungry. Some days that is a 9 AM big breakfast, other days I may not eat until lunch or some mornings I may just have something small like a protein bar around 10:30 or 11:00.

    I am usually not very hungry in the mornings and I try to not eat until I feel like I need to. I have found it has helped me to not give myself strict meal times or guidelines.

    I usually eat my breakfast between 12:00 and 1:00... just coffee/tea before that.

    yes - I workout in the mornings so about an hour or so later I am very hungry. I do try to spread the calories out over several hours though as opposed to 1 big meal. Usually start with a latte made with coconut oil and protein powder, then some berries, and then a yogurt with crunchies. I usually try for a large cup of water in between each item and don't have them with me at my desk - only way I get steps between 8-5!

    Container of Greek yogurt and a glass of whole milk before my workout and a hard-boiled egg after.

    I now eat every morning... I was never a breakfast eating kinda of girl, never really hungry in the morning, unless it was at 11am after a night with friends. ;) when I started this lifestyle change I was working with a nutritionist who gave me a meal plan to follow and it had me eating breakfast every morning. Now I find my self waking up hungry. I drink a bottle of water on my drive in to work and eat breakfast at my desk every morning by 7:45am. The weekends are usually a bit later but still get that breakfast in. Keeps me from grazing throughout the day and gives me energy. It's a personal preference, we all have different needs/wants on this journey.

    I do 90% of the time, but every once in a while I'm just not hungry when I wake up and only feel like a coffee. Also, on the days I sleep in (hubby and I trade off on weekends and getting up early with our 2 year old) I don't normally eat breakfast and just have a coffee until lunch time.

    Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Depends on how I feel once I wake up! I'm trying to push myself to not eat so early nowadays though (aiming for noon) because I find it easier to not eat in the morning than to limit myself at night.
