Eat something small soon after waking
Have a small amount of food after waking to bring blood sugar up and signal to the hypothalamus that nutrition is available, especially for women. If training within about 30 minutes of waking and appetite is low, this can be a liquid option such as a double espresso prepared with sweetened almond milk for carbohydrate plus a scoop of protein powder.
