My normal routine at any time of year is to have a small breakfast that doesn't take much effort. I just think: speed, healthy, some drink and substance. I'm not even thinking about protein, particular vitamins. (Remember in my early-mid 30's, I used not have any breakfast except a glass of milk and then go for a humid, 16-30 kms. ride.)

So it tends to be: half c. of oatmeal with abit milk, tea with milk and maybe a small slice of bread or fresh fruit. Not sure how many calories that is. Then I'll bike somewhere. It could range from 10 - 42 kms.

Deviations from this small breakfast:

A long ride over 80 kms., I want to eat a bigger breakfast.
Or just to save cost of expensive lunches and suppers (This happened several times during our European trip), I ate a big buffet breakfast at hotels. Then TRIED to scale down to smaller lunch snack and supper. Sorta worked.


Reesha, if you can discipline yourself to regularily eat much smaller suppers and no evening snacking of unhealthy stuff, then maybe it will work to have a slightly bigger breakfast. But that might mean, slightly smaller lunches, too? Your body might take a few days/weeks to adjust. I can vouch it changed my regular washroom habits.. when I was in Europe.
