What time do you eat breakfast?

bmontgomery87

DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS GUY!!! He is off his rocker. Every dietician will tell you that breakfast is THE most important meal and it will boost your matabolism. This guy must just be a meat head and needs to SHHHHHHH!!!!!

You're 100 percent wrong.

so would you say what I am doing would be alright? last meal at 9-10 then up at 6 am have my black coffee and workout then breakfast at 7:30-8? Or would it be better to wait longer?

If I were working out at this time I would just have a protein shake (20-30gms protein)afterwards with minimal carbs. In my opinion you can get similar results to fasting when undereating with just protein. That is what i am currently doing while cutting fat.

Sweet! This is exactly what I have been doing. Isopure zero carb protein shake then off to class. heh I was doing it all along and didnt know :] cool!

Start you day off with a piece of fruit! I usually eat 1/2 a grapefruit or 1/2 a banana. If fruit isn't your thing in the morning, try whole wheat toast or 1/2 whole wheat English muffin with a tsp of natural peanut butter.

Your 10am meal should also just consist of a minimal amount of protein calories if you are wanting to do this approach.

Eating breakfast does nothing for your metabolism. The best thing anyone could do for weightloss is skip it.
Ready for the hate. lol

Actually, you're spot on. A 16 hour intermittent fast followed by a workout and then eating your meals in an 8 hour window will kickstart the metabolism/burn fat. People have had this ingraned/pounded into their heads for quite some time so no use trying to explain.

sorry to say it, but he's right...that's the only thing that works for me. =/

I get up at 4:45, eat breakfast at 7...if I wait too long I get nauseated and have a headache for the rest of the day.

11:00am-12:00pm. I eat around 75% of my daily calories. (1500-1600 calories)
8:00pm-9:00pm I eat the other 25%. (600-700)

"Stoking the metabolic furnace 6 times a day!" is just ONE way to do it. Not the ONLY way.

There is very little, actual scientific evidence in regards to that. Just like when you talk about Ketosis people freak out and run for the hills. Keto is not dangerous, saturated fats are not the devil in food form, eggs will not stop your heart after 1 yolk, and you do not need to eat bread to survive.

The best way to lose weight is to realize there's multiple ways to the same goal, some are better suited one type over another. But don't dare call someone a negative name for their views on nutrition or exercise because it doesn't match what you believe - they may just be able to help you if you open your eyes.

Do what works for you! There is no direct evidence that eating breakfast helps your metabolism in any way.

I usually wake up at 7:30am, get ready, and have breakfast by 8am. I usually wake up starving so even that seems too long for me to wait.

That's because you're already fit. That's a lie that it does nothing for your metabolism. Don't assume unless you're a registered dietician that has done case studies on it.

I got fit because I researched the case studies and followed what made sense to me and skipping breakfast was one of those things.

Are you?

Just because the mainstream says "you gotta eat breakfast. It's the most important meal of the day" or "your macro ratios should be 40/40/20" doesn't mean it is so.

I don't necessarily know if skipping breakfast is straight out BAD for you, but I imagine most of us who skip meals would get extra hungry at the next meal, and you might overdo it. However, I personally am never very hungry in the morning and I skipped it all the time when I was in college. Even now I sometimes won't eat until it's almost lunch time, for the very fact that, nope, not hungry. I don't think it helped me lose weight, but I also don't think it hurt me either.

However, I still say it's better to eat regularly because your body does need fuel to function, and you need to break your fast. Not so much because of metabolism, but just because your body needs energy!

I typically eat around 9:30 or 10:00 in the morning, which is 1-1.5 hours after I get up. I work at home, so there's no commute time so I usually wait until the last second to get up. Haha. My breakfasts are never very big, 2 eggs and some fruit, maybe a little fruit parfait made with greek yogurt, or a bowl of cereal or oatmeal (made with whole grains, of course - none of that artificial kiddy cereal crap!).
