in Introduce Yourself
I am not a every day breakfast eater and I have been making myself eat it. So why is it I am so tired after eating my breakfast, I usually do all kinds of house work so I am moving.Now I eat and all I want to do is sit any thoughts?

    Toast, Boiled eggs, Breakfast bars, Grapefruit I had the best luck with the grape fruit so far but I did not eat it till like 9:00 so I have been moving for 3 hours already around 8:00 is what time I usually try and eat.

    Meal timing doesn't matter. If skipping breakfast works better for you then skip it. No reason to force yourself to eat it, especially if it drags you down. If you are eating a lot of sugar or carbs, you might be crashing later, so adding protein can help.

    Here is a great breakfast that will give you plenty of energy and make you feel great. Use Whole grain oatmeal (not the prepackaged stuff) about 6-8 egg whites with cinnamon ( I put cinnamon in my oatmeal too). I also eat 1-2 pieces of turkey bacon. It is delicious, filling and gives me the energy I need to start my day. :wink:

    I also struggled when I added a meal early in the day. LIke you, I felt more lethargic.. but worse than that, it made me ravenous all day long. I was like Pippin in LoTR... "We've had one breakfast, yes. But what about second breakfast? Elevensies? Luncheon? Afternoon tea? Dinner? Supper?" It was a horrible fiasco. I've come to the conclusion that nothing good comes from forcing yourself to eat when you don't feel like it. Breakfast happens when you break your fast, not at some prescribed hour. You aren't going to break yourself by listening to your body :)
