I'm in the no-breakfast, intermittent-fasting, early eating makes me nauseous camp. However after not eating breakfast for a long time today I just wanted a bowl of cereal so I had some with blueberries and other fruit for lunch! I won't do that everyday because at l lunch I like to have soup or stew with beans, and a salad. But I suppose once in a while can't hurt!0

Meal timing is a myth like others have said. I wake up at 6:45am and eat around 10-11am depending on the day. This helps me keep my calories in check when I'm dieting down and I sleep better with calories consumer closer to the end of the day.0

You have until you die of starvation to eat breakfast.

And yes, I know people usually mean "morning meal" when they say "breakfast."0 -
I eat breakfast after being up for 15 minutes!0

So usually around 7:30...0

I wake up around 7:30-8am. I really have liked cooking breakfast the past couple mornings, usually we all eat about 3hr. after waking, just to get moving and cook for the family. I admit a little more organization on our part would speed things up.0

I get my coffee at 5am, then I feed animals/do laundry/ etc and usually I remember I haven't eaten by about 11.0

Out of interest to all those who wait at least a few hours after getting up, what time do you eat your last meal the previous day? I try to eat before 7pm so I have basically a 12 hour fast till breakfast. I'm always ravenous0

I work nights so I eat dinner around 11pm... so it's almost the same fasting time you have.0 -

I usually eat around 9 or so at night. If my day is really busy sometimes I will eat a bit later, but usually around 9.
So I usually fast around 14.5-16.5 hours.0 -
My routine is this. Get up early, hit the bathroom and then the bathroom scales, walk to the kitchen and make breakfast. No detour and no $200 once I pass go.0

I always have a protein shake (with water, not milk) 5-10 minutes after waking up. I get up between 5:50-6:10 (depending how many times I press snooze) immediately put my robe on. Let the dogs out, make and drink my shake. Sometimes I start my car first before my shake, sometimes after. Get dressed, go to work for 7. I might pick up a coffee but otherwise I don't eat until after my workout which is usually between 11:30-noon, then I'll have another protein shake. I will eat a "lunch" around 2 and then supper at 7. This keeps me full all day.0

I was thinking of the traditional North American breakfasts like cereal or bread with nutella. For someone who is trying to get a lot of bang for my calories, those things might be tasty but aren’t what I want on a daily basis as a meal.
If you’re eating an egg-white omelette with smoked salmon and half an avocado, that’s a different story (obviously).
whats wrong with cereal and bread??? Why is that worse than an egg white omelet? why can't I have regular eggs; why does it have to be egg whites?
besides individual foods do not matter..what matters is overall diet and calorie/micro/macro goal…
OP - eat breakfast whenever you are hungry….0 -
I wake up at 5am and eat breakfast around 8:30am after arriving at the office.0
-
I generally wait 14 hours between waking and eating. IF FTW.0

Usually supper is quite early, by 5:30 or 6 at the latest. Considering I don't eat again until at least 8:30 AM, I'm waiting a bit longer than 12 hours.
I used to have a light snack like yogurt or something right before bed but now I take a med at night that needs an empty stomach so no more snack.0 -
On a work day it usually takes me a couple of hours before I can eat anything without retching. On days when I can wake up when I'm ready and rested, I can often eat about half an hour after getting up.0

Normally we eat very early, dinner is around 3 or 4 pm, dessert whatever time I decide I want it 6 or 7 is the norm.0 -
I'm trying to workout on an empty stomach for cardio. I don't eat until 20 minutes post workout0
