A member asked:

When after waking up in the morning should a person eat breakfast?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: There is no perfect answer to this since it will mean listening to your body. Depends on when your last meal was, your metabolism and what you are going to be doing and eating in the morning or day. Typically between 30 minutes to 2 hours is average.
