... And what do you have. I am loving porridge with half a banana at the moment, but as i work from home, 'breakfast' can vary between 8am and 11am. Should I be stricter?

    I eat the minute a wake up. Mainly because I'm hungry but also because it kick starts your metabolism and starts burning calories earlier.

    I also have porridge most days, yummy!

    Around 10-11am. I get up at 6am but am not hungry until then. If I force myself to eat breakfast I find I get hungrier throughout the day and go over my calories. I eat most of my calories after 3pm.

    I normally have mine between 7am and 9am during the week and at the weekend tend to have brunch so it is usually later

    I work from home too, it's whenever I get up. Usually that's between 8 and 10 depending on what's happening that day. I don't think it matters much - when I have breakfast late I want lunch and dinner later too.

    Around 12pm-1pm lol. I'll eat anything from eggs to a chicken salad.

    Don't worry about what time you eat. Just do what works for you.

    I wake up at 5:45 and have 2 glasses of water, then have one of the following...
    Baked beans on toast, scrambled tofu and veggies, homemade muesli with almond milk and some berries on top, oats with mix-ins, soy yoghurt with nuts and berries. Sometimes I'll just make myself a carrot and ginger juice and have nuts as a snack later.

    i usually go to the gym early. so i will force myself to eat a banana and a meal replacement protein bar. on the days i am not at the gym, i wont force myself to eat if im not hungry. ill usually just have a small lunch and bank the calories for a great dinner. me and my fiance tend to eat out on the weekends.

    I used to think so. Now I don't think it matters. Look at the work, Break Fast! You're breaking your fast.

    So if you read traditional (last 50 years), than yes.

    If you learn about Primal, Paleo, low carb & fasting (between 2.5 million 10,000 years ago).
    Some days I eat at 7-8am. Some days I kick off after 11am.
    I always eat after training, but then I'm pretty famished at that point ;)

    Some sites to consider for reading material.
    www.marksdailyapple.com
    www.robbwolf.com
    http://www.leangains.com
    www.bodybyscience.net

    Be an experiment of one, do what works for you! Try something for 6 weeks. Test it.
    What works for someone else may not work for you.

    Most days I'll have something between 7am-9am, other days as late as 11am-12pm.

    It varies, sometimes between 6.30 and 7.30...sometimes at about 11.30...depends if I am at home, working, if it is the weekend, etc...can be meat, vegetables, fruit, eggs, cottage cheese...sometimes a protein shake if I am running late...
    Should I be stricter?

    Not sure what this means...*shrug*

    I wake up at 7am, eat and 7:30 and am out of the house at 7:50

    I usually have 2 weetabix, a tea spoon of golden syrup with semi skimmed milk - this keeps me going until lunchtime.

    The weekends are different - I'll eat at about 10am and have eggs :)
