Protein + sunlight in the first hour after waking is a protocol I give to almost every client. The leucine threshold for muscle protein synthesis is real — 2.5-3g per meal for anyone over 50 — and most people are eating complete proteins without hitting it. Morning sunlight is the most reliable circadian entrainment tool I have found in practice. The simplicity is the point: protocols that require a 14-step routine fail. The compound effect of doing two things consistently beats doing ten things poorly.
Did you have to train yourself to feel hungry within an hour of waking? I have a hard time forcing myself to eat - do you think this changes over time?
I used to not wake up with an appetite either! So i started w something small like 2 protein balls, or a smaller yogurt bowl! Then yes i do think it trained my body to want breakfast!
