I have a question, /fit/ >Is eating upon waking up necessary/beneficial for health? I feel sick whenever I eat breakfast and then do any sort of physical activity; I have to wait a few hours after eating or I have to lift/run on an empty stomach. Is it okay if I wake up at 7 am and eat at 10-10:30 am? Or should I just deal with it and eat within an hour of waking up I'm mainly concerned about its effect on weight loss. I've heard some people mention that eating as soon as you wake up will 'kick-start' your metabolism, but I don't see any evidence Thoughts?

So you want our permission to tell you when you can and can't eat?

>>21005777 No, I want to see if there are any persuasive arguments for either case From what I see all the 'breakfast=health' studies are correlational, because most people who skip breakfast are the type who will eat little yet calorie-dense food that is bereft of nutrients

>>21005752 it doesn't really matter, it's the big picture that one should care about, which is what you stuff into yourself during the space of 24 hours

>>21005858 Alright IF and such seem to work and after doing a bit more research, it seems meal frequency and timing isn't all that important Thanks

No, it doesn't matter so long as you're eating sufficient food overall. However, if you lift/run in the morning, it might be a good idea to make a smoothie or something before if you can stomach it then eat breakfast afterwards. I usually blend a banana, milk, greek yoghurt, some oats, and add honey and cinnamon to taste. Doesn't fill me up or feel like eating, but it gives me an energy boost and then I can have breakfast after exercise.

I think the whole metabolism thing is bullshit. I've heard breakfast is only important so that you don't engorge yourself later in the day. Anyway, if you're hungry, eat. If it makes you sick, eat less.

(I wrote this on another thread) From what I have experienced, it doesn't really matter when you eat. I wake up around 5am for work, then go gym then eat breakfast/lunch anytime between 10-12pm. (I only work part time at the moment). I had no problems losing weight and my body fat is 13.5 down from 20-25% I think. I workout a lot better on an empty stomach too, hence why I don't eat.

What about eating before you work out? I like to do light body weight exercises right when I get up. Should I eat first?
