Thyroid problems

by Anonymous

How do you eat breakfast if you have to take thyroid med's? The directions say to take first thing in the morning, and wait an hour before you eat! I work crazy hours, I can't get up an hour early to eat breakfast before work. Please advise.

Michelle says: Sorry to hear about your dilemma and that you're missing out on breakfast. That's one meal you don't want to be skipping out on regularly.

What about packing a take-a-long breakfast the night before and eating it at work? If you're not able to eat while you work, then maybe you could try to get to work at least 15 minutes earlier (even if it means getting up 15 minutes earlier) and eat your breakfast before you start your shift.

Breakfast could be something quick and easy to make and eat... What about an almond butter sandwich and an apple, or something similar? You could even eat leftover dinner from the night before it you prefer savory food for your first meal. Hope that helps.
