WudiShould we ditch the idea of three meals a day?
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.
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.
only you know for sure what timing works for you
I don’t. I just eat when hungry.
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.
Yep, I used to be that way (I’m hypoglycemic, meaning blood sugar is stable then drops very suddenly, so I’m not hungry and then I’m starving).
I found just getting into a morning routine of making breakfast helps - but not immediately after getting up. Water, then coffee - takes me about an hour to be ready for food. So I just get up earlier.
It’s that it be starving later, which isn’t going to work for me.
Figuring out what works for you is key.

schnurritoJust 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.
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.
How do they have time for that?
I get up at 5:45, bathroom, get dressed until about 6:15, eat breakfast until 6:40, commute 20 minutes, start work at 7.
gandalf_der_12tegrab 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.
