Hey guys I have really bad sleep apnoea and some times I sleep in until midday if I have a rough night. So the question is how should I eat when I get up should I just have my breakfast or just have my lunch and eat a bigger dinner. Any advice would be great thanks!

    I generally don't eat until after 11 because I work from home so I stay up late. I have a small breakfast (my guilty pleasure wildberry toaster strudel) at about 11-12. Then I have a 400 or so calorie lunch at about 3, normally eggs or something. Then I have dinner at 7 (normally 600 calories) and I have enough left for a snack after dinner. Sometimes on hungry days I might have some carrot sticks at about 5pm.

    On the days I have to be out all day and I get up at 7, I eat the same thing, but I'm distracted by work so I don't get hungry, it works great for me!

    When I sleep late, I just skip breakfast, and eat more snacks, or a bigger dinner. I don't eat breakfast all the time anyhow.

    I would just skip breakfast. If you are hungry later, you can have a larger lunch or dinner, or a snack. If not, save the calories.

    I generally just eat my normal meals just in a smaller timeframe.

    But I don't honk it matters in the slightest as long as you get the calories and macros your aiming for.

    This. As long as you are hitting your goals it doesn't matter how you divvy your day up.

    Eat however you choose. It doesn't matter as long as you stay in your calorie goals.
