There are better experts than I, but her eis my insight into eating in the morning...
Some plans really encourage eating w/in an hour of waking, mainly b/c eating early in the morning gets your metabolism pumping for the day.
Myself, unless it is the weekend, I usually do not eat until about 2 hrs after I get up - but, I have found the eating breakfast really helps me get through the entire day. I no longer snack the way I used to and can even get home in the evening and fix dinner w/o shoving lots of extras in my mouth.

Personally, I would try to eat something in the morning, even if it is just a hard boiled egg. Your body cannot burn w/o the fuel.

Best of luck!
