    You should eat breakfast within the first hour after you wake up. I eat at home (but I work from home) and if I have to go out - I make a protein shake and take it with me.

    I usually eat within an hour of getting up as well. I used to eat at work but now I fix my shake and eat on the way to work.

    On weekdays I eat breakfast usually about half an hour after I get up. On weekends sometimes I don't eat breakfast until a few hours after I wake up. I eat it at home. :)

    Depends! Sometimes I wake up hungry and want to eat my pillow before getting out of bed. Today I didn't eat until 10am. I try to do it based on how hungry I am and what my morning looks like.

    Within twenty minutes, or else I feel horribly nauseous. I either eat at home or I eat something like a banana or breakfast bar in the car.

    About an hour and a half after waking up, at work. It's usually bentoed the night before. I honestly do not have time to eat in the morning at home. I really wish I could push my body clock back 30 minutes so I could wake up earlier. Just not happening.

    That's me! I don't know if it is "bad" or "good" but that is the only way that works for me....I have been known to make my own "breakfast sandwich" and eat it between home and work---BUT I make sure to eat it slowly, enjoy it, and not just cram it down my throat! On the weekend I adjust how I use my calories and we enjoy nice family breakfasts together, usually a bit later.

    I usually eat it pretty soon after waking up because I'm ravenous.

    Remember: Break-the-fast. Breakfast looks like what YOU need it to but its more important to break the fast. Carbohydrates nourish your nervous system and your brain. Your body has been using energy to keep you alive so its important to get it refueled. The brain needs about 20 grams of glucose at all times to work at optimum performance. That is about the same as a banana. Longer more sustained energy will be obtained from low glycemic foods so choose breakfast with fiber if you want it to last.

    Depends, I can't eat directly before I workout so on workout mornings I drink coffee until I get to work and then eat (this includes saturdays). However, on days that I don't workout in the morning I eat withint 45 minutes of my feet hitting the floor. So: Monday & Friday I eat by 645 (when I leave my house for the day), Tues - Thurs I eat about 730 - 745 (when I get settled in at work). Saturday I eat between 11 - 12 for the first time (but I carry a bar on me incase I do get hungry between lifting and step, then I power through the belly cramps).
