How are you so healthy and habit-maintaining? Explain yourselves!!

I’ve been trying to eat breakfast lately but my body thinks I’m trying to kill it and everything feels like I’m eating sand lmao

What are your quick breakfast meals? Do you feel like your body hates you when you try to eat first thing in the morning?

    Breakfast is a social construct. From a global and historical perspective, the modern western breakfast is really an outlier. Most cultures treat it as just another meal, and have traditionally eaten based on what’s available and their anticipated needs for the first part of the day. Yes, it’s important to eat in the morning, (and ofc something reasonably healthy) but beyond that there’s really no rules. Eat whatever works for you. Could be a couple pieces of fruit, could be leftovers from last night’s dinner. Could be a smoothie if you can’t do solids first thing. Just try different stuff until you find something that clicks.

      100% this.

      Yes, it’s important to eat in the morning

      No. Hard disagree. It’s important to eat period. It doesn’t matter at all what time of day you do it (the one exception is late at night, a full stomach can affect your quality of sleep). Nutrition is nutrition is nutrition.

      Assuming you’re meeting your daily nutritional needs, just eat when you’re hungry and don’t force it if you’re not.
