      I’m always surprised when people say they eat breakfast before work. How do they have time for that? I usually have something around 10 or 11, then an apple or cheese stick or cookie or whatever i can find when i get home around 5, then dinner around 7 or 8. I guess that counts as 3.

        grab a banana on your way out, it doesn’t take time as you can eat it in the public transport, is better than not eating anything at all. oh and also a portable coffee makes the day.

        How do they have time for that?

        I get up at 5:45, bathroom, get dressed until about 6:15, eat breakfast (sandwich and coffee) until 6:40, commute 20 minutes, start work at 7.

        I eat breakfast, same thing, every day, for 20 years.

        It’s no harder than anything else, just get up early enough to do it.

        Takes 30 minutes from start to cleaning my plates.

        I also eat something like 7 times a day. More frequent, smaller meals are generally better for most people from a glucose stability perspective. Of course everyone is different, and only you know for sure what timing works for you.

          Apparently a lot of people don’t eat breakfast when they first wake up. I don’t, because my body isn’t hungry when I first wake up; it takes an hour or two before I can actually feel like I’m ready to eat something. And I don’t like forcing myself to eat when I’m not hungry because I just feel like shit.

          Also I’ve been working on eating slower so I’m not just wolfing everything down and taking massive bites. It can take me upwards of 30 minutes to eat a bowl of cereal.

            Same. When my husband is home he makes me a coffee in the morning. Otherwise i just have a water. Nothing sounds good until I’ve been up for a couple of hours.

            Well if only eating when you’re hungry isn’t working for you, I recommend experimenting with specific times to eat a specific amount. That way you can find what does work for you.

        Before work, my meals consist of ready to eat options that don’t require preparation. Including eating and dicking around on the computer, I am usually finished within ten minutes.

        Unless you’re walking up, immediately getting dressed, then going to work/school, you should have time for something like that.

        Just get up early enough? You can eat breakfast during a train or bus ride if you choose food suitable for that…

        In fact I generally eat breakfast only on workdays, not usually weekends, because I don’t need any energy in the morning yet when I’m not working.

        I wake up early enough to make time. Usually up around 6, do some chores, eat some breakfast, get ready for work, and do the hour drive to work.
