    I wake up hungry. I usually eat within an hour of waking.

    I wake up at 6:15, usually don't eat until 9 or after, just depends on when I'm hungry

    Timing doesn't matter. Eat when you are hungry or when it's convenient to your schedule (but not waiting til your stomach is growling, of course).

    As long as you aren't feeling sick when you work out, stick with what you're doing.

    I get up at 4AM and on my harder (more cardio-intense) workout days, I usually make myself eat about 1/2 a protein bar on the way to the gym w/some coffee. On the lighter-burn days, I just have the coffee. After working out, showering and dressing, I have chocolate milk in the car on the way to work (for 'recovery').

    As someone else said "everyone is different" and there's no set time that you MUST eat or else.... just find your own rythym!

    That is another issue, I have started getting dizzy and nauseous. Its happened for the last couple of weeks during my more intense workouts. Seems strange that all the sudden, I've been feeling this way.

    I think what you are feeling is low blood sugar, that some times happens to me in the morning if I dont eat right away. I always try to eat within an hour of waking up. Could you do a smoothy or something else quick on your way out the door to the gym?

    6:30am- 7am then every few hours after that.

    Is this too long to wait for breakfast? Is there any importance to eating before a certain time? Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Nope
    Nope
    and you're welcome.

    Edit: I get up around 9 and typically eat around 12 for my first meal.

    I eat a full breakfast within 30 minutes after waking. i'm insulin resistant, I'm hungry.

    as for you: Do what works. Everyone is different. Clock time is not magical.
