Appetite is a feeling that comes and goes, but fueling your body is a skill you can learn. Eat before your 6:30 AM practice even if you're not hungry, the same way you show up even when you don't feel like it. Consistency beats waiting for the urge to eat.

I get it. No one wants to eat at 5:45 AM. Appetite is a feeling and fueling is a skill. You got to make sure that you're developing the skill of fueling. You're not going to feel like eating that in the morning, and that's okay. You're probably not feeling like getting up at— getting up and going to a 6:30 AM practice, but you're going to do it anyway. So just make this be, I'm going to do it anyway too.
