Breakfast right away?

What works for you,works for you. I eat a light breakfast every morning within an hour of waking up. I generally do 10-30 minutes of mybarre3 before I practice my horn before heading out to work and then get my walking in 10-20 minute sessions (as many as I can fit in but no less than a total of 60 minutes).

My stepson's regime is eating breakfast every morning and exercising every evening. He is the fittest person I know!

Woah. Easy there tiger! Everybody takes a while to respond to forum posts because we've all got lives outside of here (including you I'm sure). If nobody responds in five minutes, you can always bump up the topic this afternoon and try again when more people are awake. Remember, there are different time zones and not everybody is up at 7:30est.

In terms of eating breakfast right when you get up, I always did that for years because it was the only way to motivate myself out of bed. The only reason I switched to eating later because I get hungry in the middle of the day. I still can't eat it any later than 9am or I'm STARVING.

In terms of your body, the general agreement has been that it only reads cumulative long term changes. Therefore, eating at different times of the day usually doesn't make a difference. Now, there is some argument about eating late at night, but the problem there seems to be people over-eating, or having trouble sleeping on a full stomach. I've eaten absolute junk at 10 or 11 at night and I never magically gained pounds unless I was overeating consistently.

I usually feel quite hungry when i wake up, so would have a light breakfast (cereal/porridge) with a cup of tea - couldn't have anything too heavy. Although before I moved, I used to go to the gym when I got up in the morning and I would normally have a banana for energy and then eat toast or cereal when i got to work!!
