"Eat breakfast"? Yeah, very helpful.......not.

I was just reading this thread out of curiosity, nothing more. I don't side with the OP that some dinner time needs to be enforced like a specific time or anything but I sympathise with their situation.

Take the nonsense response of "eat breakfast" here...

I wake at 5am. I HAVE A BREAKFAST. A big fat bowl of porridge and a big jug of coffee actually. My dinner break is about 1:20-1:40 (as in the starting time) BUT I also have a 15min break in the morning. Without this 15min break & going all the way from 5 until 2:30pm I would be full on belly rumbling, belly hurting & not being able to perform the job as well as I should.

Would I say "starving", well yeah talking amongst friends but on an internet forum where everyone scrutinises everything & will throw the dictionary definition of starving at you to try and pull your post apart - nope I wouldn't say starving, but painfully hungry yeah.

Eat breakfast. Honestly.

And the other "obvious" response of book an earlier slot. Maybe the obvious one is that they're always booked by the same people & that's why OP couldn't go earlier? Who knows. Maybe the later replies answer that. I just couldn't believe the opening responses this thread got.

Guess you failed to read the bit where the OP states they dont have breakfast hence by their lunch time they are overly hungry? They therefore are, in part, the author of their own misfortune and so the suggestion to remedy that is both sensible and helpful. 

A breakfast of pure carbs is never going to be the most sustaining and there are much better choices. The OP hasn't clarified what time they wake, most wake around 7am in the UK in which case your 05:00 to 14:30 would be more like 12:30 if they are inline with the average rather than an early riser.
