Many doctors recommend that for best absorption of your thyroid hormone, take it first thing the morning, on an empty stomach, and wait one hour before eating, and at least two hours before taking any vitamin with iron.

However, it's more important to be consistent. If you've been taking your thyroid hormone with breakfast all along, then your bloodtests and dosage are based on taking it that way, and probably best to continue. If you change the way you take your thyroid meds, then you should get your blood levels checked again in 6 - 8 weeks.
