Breakfast

I have read that you should eat within the first hour and the sooner the better. Mostly because your body has had nothing for 6-12 hours and so it needs fuel. Try having a little something at least until your more awake. I work out first thing because my doctor says I will burn more calories and more efficiently if I work out on an empty stomach - which tosses out the above info lol! But as soon as I shower I eat - usually oatmeal with Torani syrup (brown sugar and cinnamon - 0 calories and oatmeal 150). Days I don't work out it's usually a harc cooked egg (70) and and some low sodium V-8 (25!). Then a snack like berries, natural applesauce or something around 50 cal. about 10am. It works for me...got to experiment to see what works for you.

Most people on this site have more than enough bodyfat on them to sustain an extended fasting time. You do not need to "fuel" your body when you get up.
