If you get hungry late morning

[TheMainCharacter]

Say 11am or later

Do you
a) eat a snack
b) eat your lunch
c) eat nothing and wait til lunchtime

I’m b, DP is a, and says I’m weird and that everyone does either a or c 😆.

I have an early lunch.

I'm b if it's 11.45 or later. I wouldn't eat lunch at 11am though!

b.

Well, it's 11am and I'm currently eating a piece of birthday cake from yesterday, which I guess is a snack?

I often don't eat breakfast until around 10/11am, but if I'd already had breakfast, it would totally depend on what I wanted to eat, what we actually had to eat in the house, and what I had time to make.

Sometimes it could just be some biscuits or some fruit if I need to grab something before a meeting. If I have time and I have meetings all afternoon, so won't have time then, I'll eat lunch. It's not unusual for me to have breakfast/lunch around 11:30am (may or may not be the first meal of the day) and then lunch #2 around 2-3pm. We don't eat dinner until 7:30 or even 8pm a lot of nights, so those timings tend to work well.

I am not a bit fan of breakfast foods, so I tend to eat 'lunch' more than breakfast, so not unusual for me to have 'lunch' early or two lunches.

I do 18/10 intermittent fasting thing. I know this thread is not about that but I have tea or decaf coffee until about 11.45 or so, honestly I'm not a breakfast fan (unless I'm away and the breakfast is included and gorgeous!)

So I have a yogurt with fruit, then a lunch about 2pm, and dinner about 6.30. If I was like OP, I'd have the lunch!

C.

If I miss my mid-morning oats, then lunch is fair game any time after 11.45am. DH is fully on board with this too though.

BUT to avoid that (because then what happens to us all at 4pm? Anarchy?) I have my oats (jumbo oats with cold water, nuts/seeds/fruit) around 10 or 11am if possible. Then I want my lunch at a more civilised 1pm.

C but drink water.

11am is when I have breakfast. I’m not hungry before then.

Depends what I'm doing.

If I'm at work I don't have my lunch half hour till 2pm so if I'm peckish at 11am I might have some nuts or something to tide me over.

If I'm at home I might have lunch but don't have breakfast till later so not normally hungry then anyway.

If I'm out and about I might go to a cafe and have a coffee and a small something to eat
