The way the human body works, you are supposed to completely avoid any calories and caffeine for the first 90 minutes after you wake up. then you should eat a very low calorie and mixed food group meal (so basically do not have any american breakfast dish, as they are way overloaded in either carbs or animal products or both) eating some lighter but cooked whole foods is better. like fish carrots and green beans with a small amount of rice, or maybe air fried red potato, and a small glass of real fruit juice. total meal should be small / low calorie. like 25% of your daily cals. then have 42% at lunch, 33% at dinner.
I absolutely can’t skip breakfast. My most favourite meal of the day. Sometimes i go to sleep excited of what i am going to have in the morning WOW 13K 👍🏻 I am not overweight/food addict and not 8y.o btw
@@samkhan_real Working out isn't painful. Recovery is better than getting sore and pumped from a workout. I don't know what workouts you doing but you're need to recover first then workout. To get the best gains possible, Good luck 👑
i agree, i always feel a lil nauseous when i eat in the morning too. The first hour of work after i eat breakfast is normally terrible after eating breakfast
its because you over ate and just sitting around. you need to work off the big meal you just ate. every time I eat a big meal then go to bed I always wake up with too much gas and bad back and belly pain from the food just sting then as well as gas.
@@KIRB881as someone who loves breakfast, there was a time that I could not eat in the morning without getting nauseous and it’s not from overeating, every individual bite made me nauseous until I got used to eating earlier
Gotta eat a healthier breakfast. I think the common breakfast foods are actually the words for breakfast besides eggs. Instead of bacon and biscuits go for some chicken or something else that's filling but not too carb dense so it doesn't make you lethargic.
@Blaruss don't be funny, makes you look stupid. We all know what he means. "except for the occasional breakfast sandwich" ...means the type of sandwich not when he has that sandwich.
@@gingerwhite1413 It's a whole topic and I don't think they can explain it in a short vid. But, biologically, everyone is built different, so you gotta try for yourself, your body will tell you what it wants. Some people do excellent with big breakfast and smaller lunch and dinners, some people do good on empty stomach in the morning, some people even eat just a big dinner and nothing throughout the day.
@@gingerwhite1413 I’m no nutritionist so take what I know with a grain of salt but I do know the basics. So everyone uses food for energy but the way people do it differs and will differ based on your diet. High carbs and sugar give good energy spikes(good for breakfasts and snacks) but burn fast and high proteins and fat give a more consistent slow burn of the energy and why you see it more in lunches and dinners. Add in other food groups that aid with digestion like fibers and vegetables can change how your body takes those other foods too, hydration also plays a part to some degree. But overall some people will literally not be able to function properly without breakfast and then there’s people like me where I need like 2 bottles of water and 3 hours before I can eat anything or else my body tells me not to eat
I workout in the mornings and absolutely can't skip breakfast, otherwise I feel lightheaded and sluggish. Usually have 4 eggs and some oatmeal with berries and protein powder
I workout in the afternoons before my work as a deli clerk at Publix and evening sometimes. I can't understand morning workouts I feel too tired in the morning.
Having a full stomach interferes with focus so not a good idea for studying or anything like that that's typically practiced in the morning It's also just too much food in general unless you're a vegan
@@sickkunt1573 it's still better to skip it let's say you eat dinner at 10pm and lunch at 2pm that's 16 hours of free fasting per 24 hours and it doesn't even feel much different because you're asleep half of it
@@radvin1417 it’s not “better” it works for some and not for others due to many different factors. i personally rarely eat breakfast but it’s not inherently better
The thing you put on your head is a hat doesn’t matter what it’s made of or what is it that is your hat…if you put a tractor on your head that will be no more a tractor that will be a hat.
No, there's just to much to do during the day and myself personally like to enjoy my food and not have to think about accomplishing a task or being slowed down by being full. I picked it up about after five years of building steel buildings, we had an hour for lunch and I'd rather just chill out of the elements and take an actual break instead of spending time and effort driving. Making your own lunch takes away from time In the morning and is just wasted time. The three meals a day gimmick is to sell food, you get way more then the daily amount of calories by eating a large meal early in the evening. Who really has time to plan and prepare or travel and buy three meals a day? That's hours of time you could be spending with friends or family, learning a new hobby or just taking care of life responsibilities or even plan a vacation. Anything besides be fixated on food. Enjoy your food, don't let it consume your life😎
If it’s any consolation, you won’t die for skipping a meal. (Unless you have a rare condition.) If Jesus can wander the desert without food and water you can skip a meal lol
"I haven't eaten breakfast in 5 years, and I'll never go back" "I'm not the biggest fan of breakfast foods" "oh but I do occasionally have a breakfast sandwich"
First you watch the video, then you think about what he just said which doesn’t make any sense, then you realize who the hell is this guy? And then you say why am I watching this? And on top of that why am I commenting on this? lol
I always try to eat a fairly large protein heavy breakfast before class then just have a snack for lunch. If i don't eat I've noticed that around midday i have trouble focusing on anything and my body starts to shake.
I don't eat breakfast cause I legit have 0 appetite so soon after waking up. It has to be at least a couple hours after I wake up before I can eat anything.
not a huge breakfast guy myself. sometimes i need it, but more often than not i only start feeling hungry in the early afternoon. typically eat lunch, dinner, and then a third meal around midnight before heading to bed
See if i eat breakfast it makes me want to fall back asleep & makes me sluggish all day & would make me get hungry within a few hours so would cause me to eat more everyday
I dont eat breakfast on the days i work because i'm the exact opposite; anything more than my breakfast energy drink/coffee and i feel like i need to go back to sleep.
Lol but skipping brekafast does keep your blood sugar levels down as well as blood pressure. For me, I'm less focused after eating breakfast because I always take a "break" after eating and just not doing that makes me focus on the work until I get too hungry and I need to eat.
I’m the opposite. I don’t eat dinner and I haven’t had dinner in 24 weeks. I’ve had overnight oats for breakfast every and that keeps me going at work until 4 hours later when I eat my lunch, which is my last meal of the day. Intermittent fasting is what I’m doing. I was at 260lbs in January and now in June I stand at 179lbs. Breakfast is what I look forward to everyday because it’s when I break my fast, which is either a 19 hour fast or a 24 hour fast.
I thought I was the only one but I absolutely feel like you on this one; whenever I have breakfast I feel bloated and even sleepier for the whole morning. Plus, when I consistently skip breakfast I start losing weight, feeling lighter and better all-round, yet I don't feel any hungrier at lunchtime.
Almost the same 🙂 I am vegan and I am on fasting 5-19. I get up every day at 4:00 and have "breakfast" at 11.00. For my breakfast I eat only fresh fruits. My last meal is at 14:30. When I was teenager I ate breakfast every morning at 6-7 AM and I was fat, always bloated, hungry without energy. Now, I have huge amount of energy. I am slim and I have enough power to run marathon every Sunday 🙂 so, traditional breakfas is not god for everyone 🙂
I can skip breakfast, i usually prefer to. But I do notice a drop in productivity. Also if I skip breakfast I often have a heavyish lunch, and tend to be sluggish afterwards.
nothing fucks my stomach up more than a breakfast, I need at least three hours after waking up to have appetite and space for a meal, and it's honestly just alright
Wonder if it’s because u probably eat late at night which causes ur stomach to be nauseous in the morning? That used to happen to me and I found that not eating 3/4 hours before I sleep helped
@@mubeenmoughal8362 Not necessarily. I have eaten nothing for dinner, gone to sleep, my stomach is still all screwed up in the morning. I am the same as the poster above. Breakfast makes me feel bleh. Plus, as much as I am a fan of bacon, I am not really a fan of eggs. Or cereal. A nice sandwich for lunch tho...toasted. That sounds amazing.
I think lunch is the meal I always end up skipping! Gotta have breakfast or I can’t focus on my tasks for the day and then I’m all hungry in the evening for a nice dinner!
This exactly, I like lunch but it’s not essential for me. I like a mid morning breakfast, snack around 2pm and dinner around 6/7pm. Works perfect for me, never eating when I’m not hungry but not starving myself either
I like breakfast food… for dinner. I too haven’t eaten breakfast for over 10 years, I’m just not hungry in the morning and water then coffee are more important to me 😅 I also think it’s why I’ve been able to maintain my weight… I feel heavy and bloated and tired and sluggish when I have breakfast. I only eat breakfast on holidays if I’m staying with family who make it for everyone.
I usually skip breakfast because of the fact that my stomach cant handle any food every time I wake. Also i agree with you about the whole skipping breakfast makes you focus more.
When I was a kid, I never had breakfast for like all of my junior school years. I start to have my breakfast when I was in high school. I know that kind of feeling when you suddenly need to eat your breakfast because you HAVE TO, like when I was a kid my parents forced me to have it because we will go to have a long trip to somewhere. You feel sick after you had it, feeling wanna puke and super uncomfy (in my country it's even worse because we usually start with heavy breakfast, like some rice along with side dishes.) But my body adjusted to it and now feels like I cant skip my breakfast ever again.
fully onboard. have been for about 5 or 6 years now myself. fasting is what started it. and the realization that I really dont even like "breakfast food". I'd rather do my morning stuff. workout. then eat a healthy lunch & then a massive dinner.
I only ever really eat breakfast when necessary which is pretty much everyday but I try to to restrict myself to normal breakfast foods from my country as what you eat doesn't matter it's just something to get you going
i find my entire day is worse when i don’t eat breakfast, it just fills me with noticeably more energy and kick starts my day. and like, if i don’t eat breakfast, my energy i do have feels groggy for the rest of the day
@@reddEyez85 don’t know if it’s just me but when I’m hungry and my stomach is empty my body gets cold 😂 It feels like the temperature drops around me. Gives me goosebumps and chills
What do y'all eat for breakfast? I sure as hell ain't waking up even earlier(I'm at 4:30am) for food. Maybe, sometimes I'm in the mood for a bite. Not super common though.
If I don’t eat breakfast, I’m gonna be running across the school, trying to get to my locker and classes as soon as I can, with an empty stomach and dying 💀
We are complete different beings I stopped eating breakfast in the morning before school because it used to make me sick in the middle of classes And it got even worse on days with p.e.
@@thatboy7401 …are you sure that it’s because you ate and not the food itself? In a situation like that, I feel like it’s either because you’re eating something that doesn’t sit well with you or your appetite is too small and you’re eating too much. I used to skip meals because of image issues, but even when I got over them I never got back my appetite to eat. It took me years to go from one meal a day to at least eating 3, smaller, meals a day. I’m not one to force my views on someone, but I really do recommend at least eating a fruit or slice of bread in the morning, just a small snack. Of course, this is on the basis that your mornings are as busy as mine. If your mornings are calm and you don’t mind waiting 5 hours to eat then you do you.
@@SingMeAMelody to be honest It probably was just my stomach not working properly and still being asleep The food was alright It always was just a simple sandwich I could Have gotten sick from that because I was eating a sandwich for breakfast for years But now I still don't know why but I feel more energetic when I don't eat a breakfast I'm usually not hungry until lets say 14:00 (2pm) In my country we don't even like breakfast that much It's pretty much just a bother in the morning
I used to believe I wasn’t “hungry” in the morning,but now,I wake up starving and always start with some kind of protein,fruit,fibre,healthy fats and something that nourishes my body and soul and it keeps me full until lunch and I don’t think about food 24/7❤
Yep,same, I don't usually eat before 1:00 and sometimes 2:00 in the afternoon, and then it's pretty much lunch, I then make something pretty hardy to hold till dinner 😁
dude I feel that. I work at 8 am so I wake up at 7-7:15. I am NOT waking up at 6:45 just for food it’s just not worth it 🤣 my boyfriend always laughs when I tell him I’ll make us breakfast before work because he knows I’m not going to get up. I only eat BF on some of my days off
@@ihateallyall you really just need to get yourself out of bed, splash of water on the face, and get going. It's a mindset, those 30 minutes or whatever really ain't doin much in terms of useful sleep.
You technically can’t skip breakfast. The first thing you eat in the day is considered breakfast no matter what, it’s the food that’s allowing you to break your overnight fast. You just eat yours later in the day, and don’t eat the typical breakfast foods. You’re skipping lunch Edit: it’s hilarious how people are so offended in the comments
Same every since high school I’ve skipped breakfast every sad. Just waited till noon to eat. I never feel tired in the morning or ever need coffee so it’s always completely fine for me. Been doing that for like 7 years no I’m a senior in college
With my work schedule and sleep schedule (I have mild insomnia so some nights I only get a few hours) I don’t eat until usually 12 if I work afternoons or if I work nights usually until between 8-11pm.
After skipping breakast for about 2 weeks due to fasting, my energy levels started to pick up and I was much less sluggish every morning. I recommend you try it plus q 16 hour fast!
It's crazy how people can be so different from one another. I personally can't function without breakfast. I get moody or unmotivated , I'm constantly thinking about when I'm going to eat, and I feel lightheaded. Aside from that, breakfast time just makes me really happy in general, I can exactly pinpoint why, and I just love breakfast foods, be it savory like eggs, machaca, chilorio, chilaquiles, birria, just any Mexican breakfast really, Or something sweet like waffles, pancakes, French toast, or fruits and honey. Even just a slice of nice bread with some butter and a cup of coffee on the side is enough to fill my brain with dome much needed dopamine.
It is strange..I have never eaten breakfast my entire life, my daughter is the same way. I just don't wake up with food on my mind. But most people I know can't go without breakfast.
Lol that’s just because your so used to eating unhealthy you don’t even realize it. Eat healthy for awhile and your brain isn’t gonna wanna go back to eating so much, You eat like someone who wrestlers bears for a living.
A food therapist told me one reason behind this is because , people ate too much the day prior . Ex: huge late night snacks Ex: really big dinners /lunches . Maybe this will help .
I used to be sick in the morning to eat but when I started working out I forced my self everyday to eat and eventually I would wake up ready to eat it was a great feeling keep pushing through it it’s gonna be worth it
skipping breakfast is totally healthy. The whole "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" thing was created by big cereal. I'm not even kidding
See here’s the thing, while I respect your stance I grew up in a very different culture. In the region of Lebanon where I was brought up, breakfast is very important. It was a village so as kids most days up there were spent either in fields running around playing or in the streets running around playing. See now the thing is, we grew up with mothers who’d grown up in the village, so they constantly worried about one of us getting fatigued and being unable to find their way back if they strayed too far. So breakfast was a vital meal of the day. Typically Lebanese breakfast spreads feature every type of nutrition you’d need throughout the day. It’s a thing the farmers and hunters used to do, eat only breakfast and dinner, skipping lunch to work on the fields or hunt and also to conserve food. My fondest memories were of having breakfast with my friends families and then immediately going to play in the fields after for hours, pretending we were soldiers or superheroes or something. Akh I miss those days, this reel sent me down such a nostalgic road, breakfast is always nice, also that sandwich looks really good
I'm EXACTLY the same. I'm not really hungry in the morning. The hunger only starts to kick in at 11am and an hour later I have a big lunch. It works perfectly for me.
Same, I tried to force myself to eat breakfast for a while because everybody said you’re supposed to eat breakfast, but every time I just felt uncomfortable and sleepy and low energy after so I figured I should just listen to my body
Same, and I'm sick of having to justify myself to other people. Just mind your own ducking business.. I eat when I'm hungry and if I'm not hungry i don't eat.
Its easy for my body to develop patterns so if i have time to eat breakfast one morning and dont have time the next morning, the hunger pains can be really nasty and painful so its easier to just skip breakfast and eat lunch and dinner the same time every day considered how hectic and different my mornings can be on a day to day basis
I haven't eaten breakfast in years either. First meal of the day is usually around 12:30/1 If I eat breakfast, it kicks off my stomach, all I think about is food for the rest of the day. Plus, I agree with you on it being one less thing I have to do in the morning, considering I'm always rushing in the morning while half asleep 😄
Absolutely. Have not eaten breakfast in so many, many years and my first meal is always after 7 PM, sometimes around 9 PM. Even when I am doing 6 AM shifts, I just function perfectly normal on water and a couple cups of coffee for the whole day until I eat my first meal around 7-8 PM. It is hard to explain, but I just don't feel hungry at all and most important I have tons of energy. If I try to explain it, it sounds crazy, but once you get used to it, it is way easier to understand. Like you said, if I eat breakfast and my glucose levels spike early in the morning, all day I am craving for food and the need for a snack every hour. I just don't like this feeling and I'd rather fast than eat breakfast. Not saying breakfast is wrong, some people can't live w/o it and they are perfectly fine, too, but being the most important meal of the day? Let me disagree with this. It is just way to fuel your body for a few hours and get your glucose levels very high, but as soon as glucose levels drop back, you feel the need to eat again, and again, and again, because it's a cycle you start very early in the morning that can't be broken that easily.
@@sedan6841 I can skip breakfast but not coffee. If I eat breakfast I'm feeling lazy all day. So for me to be productive, I always try to skip breakfast.
@@sedan6841 exactly. I agree 100%. I've quit coffee in the maybe the last 5 weeks? I can go without it now. I don't consume anything before 12 o'clock except (maybe) creatine and water protein shake... Just so I'm not off schedule, if I fell sleep right after work the previous day. For the most part only water from 8 or 9 pm to 1200 noon the next day. Works wonders. I fluctuate weight like paddy the baddy, but I actually prefer not consuming anything in that time. I'm far more ready to attack any task without food in mah belly 😄
@@ozp.7528 get off coffee. It's pretty easy. I thought it would be harder. Replace it by taking a shower every morning, and getting colder and colder, until you just can't take it anymore. Till you gasp because of the cold. You'll forget coffee even exists after a few days. Your body will pump all kinds of hormones and adrenaline into you. Don't be weak now... 😉 We're in this together! 😄
Breakfast simply means “break fast,” so whatever food you eat after you begin the next day is technically breakfast, despite whether or not it’s the morning or considered ‘breakfast food’ [edit] Yes, this comment was typed whilst making this face: 🤓
Sometimes my first meal is in the evening and I'm feeling perfectly fine. I can't remember a time in my life having breakfast regularly. I eat whenever I'm hungry and that almost never happens after I wake up.
It’s like I don’t give my stomach enough time to wake up when eating breakfast and the food just sits in my stomach like a rock, making me feel sick for the rest of the day.
I find that north American style breakfasts are very sweet and sugary where other countries tend to have more savory breakfast foods which I find more appealing
@@attackhelicopter588 But your hunger hormone levels will drop if you really do eat a large meal. So maybe you can physically eat more but maybe you won’t feel like it.
Everyone's built different, as long as your healthy and feel your best who cares. I usually have a late breakfast and small lunch or no breakfast and a bigger lunch
The same reason why I hardly eat breakfast. Also Im not hungry until noonish. But when I make breakfast it usually a fried egg and kielbasa sandwich. On toast with tomatoes and onions.
I absolutely cannot eat breakfast 😂. My body for some reason just doesn't have an appetite for the first few hours of the day. Once I tried to eat breakfast because my grandma said it was the "most important meal of the day" but I ended up almost throwing up a few hours later.
I find people who don’t really have a true early morning work schedule, tend to not eat breakfast. When I was in uni I didn’t really eat breakfast, but now I’m working I eat it everyday.
I feel sick if I eat breakfast it’s so weird I need to take a dump and than wait an hour first in order to not feel awful in the morning. Idk how you can wake up with a dry throat, sweaty, sleepy, and needing to use the restroom and wanting to eat breakfast. Maybe like 3 hours later yeah but
Bro why are you waking up with a dry throat, sweaty, and sleepy? Potential sleep apnea? I was the same way until using a CPAP. Now I wake up feeling refreshed and 0 dry throat
@@Childofbhaal dry throat idk, sweaty from summer time heat(I’ve been sweat free for the past 5 months tho yay), and sleepy from lack of sleep/barely getting adjusted to waking up
@@shayolinparker2934 because you eat too much at one time for diner and too late. you don't digest food while your sleeping so if you eat right before bed. then the food just sits. you should eat 6 small meals every few hours. not big meals
Facts. I just got in a routine of skipping breakfast but I was always told breakfast is the most important meal of the day so I would eat breakfast on the days I had an exam. One day I forgot and I realized it was much better. I found out I wasn’t getting sleepy in the middle of exams because I wasn’t eating enough breakfast or the exam was too boring, but because I would get sleepy after eating breakfast.
Exactly! I wonder how I even got thru boarding school! We had to eat breakfast every morning. I’m totally NOT hungry for the first few hours after I wake up.
I was pretty committed to IF for about 2 years and once I hit my fitness goals, I just went to a 10pm-10am fast on weekdays. Cos I love the fuck outta breakfast foods, and it fits my schedule anyway.
Yep after I started not eating in the morning and just eating twice a day I finally started losing weight. Don't think I'm ever going back to 3 meals a day.
I workout in mornings so I always have a small breakfast before that like a granola bar and a banana, but occasionally I’ll splurge a breakfast on a weekend
For myself personally I bodybuild so I'm eating on average 4 to 5 meals a day so I'm am always eating breakfast as it's another opportunity for muscle protein synthesis and I personally love breakfast food plus I'm starving in the morning so I don't think I could ever do Intermittent Fasting as it wouldn't be conducive to my bodybuilding goals.
5 meals ??? How much protein do you consume per day ?? And how do you have time for 5 meals lol . That is completely unnecessary smh im a female bodybuilder and I consume 150g protein per day with 3 meals and maybe 1-2 snacks…
@8th account whats funny ? Female bodybuilders dont exist now ? Lol im sure you just an incel who is too social awkward to even step foot in a gym . Goodbye lol
I had a fun version of this. It turned out I had very low iron and I got really tired after eating because my body was sending all of my energy to my digestive system.
I skipped breakfast for intermittent fasting and better blood sugar control. It worked for me. Eating breakfast makes me eat more throughout the day. I ended up losing 10% of my weight within two months.
I usually only eat breakfast on Saturdays! I never feel hungry as I’m getting on with work mornings because I’m so busy, so I just listen to my hunger queues. I do love breakfast foods (especially shredded potatoes yumm) so when I have a relaxing morning at home or go out for brunch, it is like a treat :)
Try getting frozen shredded potatoes and putting them in a thin layer on a greased pan with cheese over the top. Sometimes, I crack eggs over the top and let them finish cooking.
i found this so true. i always feel bloated whenever i had my breakfast. and i will get sluggish. i dunno why but i guess different people and body receive or react differently anyway. 👍🏻👍🏻
If I don’t eat breakfast I literally get like stomach cramps and sharp pain 😭 to mention I am still growing tho but lunch to me probably the most unimportant meal of the day
Also I’m not sure if I’m the only one but if I eat a decent breakfast I won’t really be hungry at all during the day after that but if I eat lunch I’ll be hungry at night and snack
@@bufdud4 I did try a week and personally (as a girl) it just made me weak in the morning, not able to focus and hormonally, my period came 2 weeks earlier and came back 2 times the same month so no it doesn't really work for anybody, even professional say that someone used to have breakfast in the morning shouldn't change too fast
