I need help. The biggest problem with me is that I don't eat breakfast. I never know what to eat or make. I need some recipes or sugggestions of things that are good to have in the morning. Everyday I don't eat until about 3-4pm and it's so unhealthy, so please if anyone has suggestions, send them my way ❤️❤️

its not unhealthy to not eat breakfast. tons of people do different forms of intermittent fasting and only eat once per day or only eat in a window of a couple hours or something.

all that is needed is a calorie deficit regardless of how you achieve it. your body could care less. Now if your trying to support a exercise regime and your wanting to fuel it, there is wisdom to eating to power that.

but waiting to eat until 3pm is not an issue unless your feeling awful doing it.

I don't like to not eat until than. It sucks. But I can never eat in the morning

Can you explain in more detail why you can never eat in the morning? Is it that nothing sounds good? Is it that you're running out of time to prepare something? Or is it something else?

i dont eat in morning whats your concern regarding it? many of us prefer night eating


edit: okay i get it. maybe try smoothies? Some cottage cheese and fruit, Maybe some protein powder? Drinking calories is good if you get sick eating early its my go to when im forced o work early. I call it my fruit cheesecake smoothie, Goes good with frozen raspberry or blueberries. Or half a bagel and some cream cheese, Or peanutbutter toast, or eggs (sometimes on an english muffin)

Cant really suggest anything unless we know your macro goals, Mine are high carb but i love carbs xD The smoothies high protein.

I usually either have rolled oats with fruit, a pre made yogurt drink or a protein powder smoothie with bananas it just depends on my mood.

How do you feel up until 3pm?

I feel *kitten*, this is why I need some ideas. Some stuff that will help me have something in the morning, even if it's something small. Not eating until then makes me feel sick

I don't understand how if you know you don't feel good, not eating for that long, why you don't eat?

Easy breakfast ideas:

1. Hardboil enough eggs to last the week. Cut up fruit such as melon or strawberries, and portion out into serving size containers. In the morning, all you need to do is make a piece of toast, and grab an egg and your serving of fruit. Enjoy with your coffee/tea, etc.
2. Overnight oatmeal with fruit. There's a bunch of recipes out there on how to do this.
3. Cereal and a banana. I'm a sucker for cheerios. I can eat breakfast and be out the door with my coffee in 5 minutes.
4. Yogurt with granola and a piece of fruit.
5. Make homemade muffins. I'm going to do this tomorrow with some bananas that are over-ripe. I use unsweetened apple sauce instead of oil to make them healthier.

Breakfast is easy when you have it prepared the night before, so you can just grab it, eat it, and go.

I do the same for lunch. I don't really meal prep, but I tend to set up my lunches the night before so that I can just grab my lunch bag and run out the door. It keeps me from buying food for lunch that definitely won't fit in my calorie goals for the day. My go to for lunches is a sandwich, cottage cheese, and a piece of fruit, a big salad with a serving of grilled chicken, shrimp or steak on it, or homemade soup. I just made a big batch of Maryland-style crab soup that is 100 calories for a 1 cup serving. I'll bring 2 servings in a Corningware soup mug with a lid and a buttered slice of Italian bread for lunch. I have homemade chicken noodle soup in the freezer. Easy to pull out one the night before so that it defrosts, and then I can grab it from the fridge in the morning on my way out the door.

OP I'm the same way...I get up early and feel sick at the thought of eating...I've always been this way even as a child. So I pack myself 1 of either a packet of instant grits, a homemade 100 calorie blueberry muffin (recipe from pinterest), or an egg scramble (looks like an egg muffin...recipe may be from skinnytaste.com or skinnyms.com). I'll also take a cheese stick or maybe a serving of pepperoni if I need more protein..... I don't even try to eat before 10:00am, my students eat snack at that time and this works out well for me.

Contrary to popular belief- breakfast is not the most important meal of the day. It's fine if you miss breakfast.

What's your blood sugar like in the morning? Just wondering if that's adding to how you feel. Maybe check with your endocrinologist. For most people skipping meals really isn't a problem. You need to find what works for you.
