how soon do you eat breakfast?
Replies

I eat breakfast within the first hour of getting up. Whether it is a smoothie or something easy to fix. Same goes for weekends. I get up at 6AM on the weekends to get ready for gym and usually fix something.0

I usually wake up pretty hungry so after I've managed to drag myself out of bed, I have breakfast straight away.
It really doesn't matter though, your metabolism is constantly ticking over at all times, it isn't 'kick-started' each day.0 -
Protein based smoothie first thing around 6 am, it's icy cold and wakes me up.0

the general consensus is that Breakfast should be eaten within 40mins to 1hr after rising in the morning - Maintaining constant blood sugar levels is key to both weight loss and fat burning - failure to do so often leads to hunger pangs and binging of carb rich snacks Just because you can go all morning without brekkie doesn't mean it's good for you or your body and is usually the reason why people crave carb rich foods at later times during the day.0

I wake up at around 6.45 - 7.00 AM. I'll first fill my empty stomach with a bottle of water. About 5-10 mins later i'll have my breakfast.0

Usually within an hour of getting up. I try to eat with my kids.
If I have something like a 5 or 6 oz cup of greek yogurt because we're pressed for time, I usually have a snack about an hour/hour and a half later (I keep Kashi Go Lean bars or Fiber One bars in my bag and car).0 -

False.
True actually!0 -
I don't eat breakfast, and I would base your decision on "when to eat" entirely on personal preference.
Some people have BETTER dietary adherence by not eating breakfast. Some people will need to eat breakfast.
From a physiological standpoint (metabolic effects), it is entirely irrelevant. From a behavior standpoint it IS relevant, but that effect varies from person to person.
Behavior point spot on for me. If I don't eat I get cranky,,, not a pretty sight. But completely agree, you do what works for you. I am at the gym most morning by 5am. I have a pre work out drink and post work out shake, breakfast about 1.5 hours after the work out.
I have read you should eat a pre work out meal about 2 hours before lifting. I am not getting up at 3 am to eat. Doing the above works for me so that is what I do. Wen it stops working I will look to change it.
I do eat 6 meals through out the day.and plenty of water.0 -
I normally get up at 6 am and eat my first meal around 12 when I have a break0
-
until my stomach starts growling0

I am usually pressured for time in the mornings during the school semester, so I eat something quickly after I wake up and take a sh ower, or I pack a small something to eat when I get in the classroom.0

I'm not much of a breakfast person so tend to have something light in the mornings.
I usually eat within an hour of waking up, I can never eat right away as I'm far too sleepy x0 -
i looked around a bit to see if this has been posted before and i didn't really find anything, so eh, here it goes:
how soon do you wait after you wake up to eat breakfast?
i woke up at 8:20ish and it's 9:45ish right now.
i'm just starting to get a little hungry now, but i've had people tell me that you should eat immediately after waking up and going to the bathroom. i've also had people say that as long as you eat within the first hour it's fine and then there's been people telling me that you just eat when you get hungry.
i'm really, really confused.
which one is it? does anyone know?
thank you all
Depends on you really, I walk between 1 & 1.5 miles to get to work in the Morning so i tend to eat something straight away, say a piece of toast but I eat again about 2 hours later. don't think there is a right or a wrong answer everybody is different.0 -
Monday through Saturday at 4:45 am
Sunday whenever i wake up
Its a banana and water shortly after
just started it a couple of days ago.0 -
I wake up around 6:30am and I don't have my first meal (other than coffee) until 10am.0
-
I eat within 1 hour of waking up. It is generally not what I call breakfast though. When I get up, I drink 1 glass of water before anything else touches my belly. This keeps me from eating TOO much because I THINK I'm starving. Then I'll grab a piece of fruit so that I have something on my stomach until I get to work. When I get to work, I usually sit and enjoy breakfast. This is generally 1.5-2 hours after I wake up. Hope this helps!!0
