Is It a Late Midnight Snack or an Early Breakfast?

That is the question of the day. Pertaining to my cup noodles pictured. I added two eggs before addign boiling water. Eggs certainly made the cup noodles more filling and more delicious. Not to mention that eggs are a good and affordable source of proteins. So why am I still up at this ungodly hour (it is 2:00 in the mornign in Manila)? Well, I finished my shift at 12midnight and figured I wanted to do some cleaning and tidying up here at my condominium unit. Got hungry so decided to have cup noodles. So is this a late midnight snack or an early breakfast? What say you myLot community?

2am Just a late midnight snack. My favourite time for eating. I do cup noodles a lot. I have never added eggs to them. Must try that.

Tell me what you think about adding eggs to your cup noodles. Midnight snacks just hit differently.

My daughter mentioned eating her noodles like that. It looks so gross to me hopefully it doesn’t offend you as well eat different things and I’m sure plenty I eat would gross you out. I stopped eating meat and eggs when I was 7. It took me over 20 years to be able to bring myself to eat eggs. I can’t eat them though unless they are very well done.

I see what you mean. My mom needs her eggs well-done as well so she can eat it.

It's a late snack. You'll be hungry again by morning. Have a good night.

I never snack or eat after about 6:pm so I would call it an early breakfast.

When I do intermittent fasting my cut-off time for meals is 4:00pm the earliest and 6:00pm the latest.

It depends on whether or not you will eat again after you get up. Do they eggs fully cook with your cuppa noodles? I might give that a try. It looks like the yolk is not cooked but maybe you could close the lid and poach them.

The eggs are a bit runny which is fien by me for this particular dish. If it was sunny side up eggs, I want the egg fuly cooked.

Maybe a midnight snack if you go to sleep and eat again when you wake up??

Since you just got off work, it's your after-work snack.

I think that was like an early breakfast. By the way, I discovered something about cup noodles or noodles per se. You can actually add up cheese on it to make it have a creamier taste.

The price of eggs has gone up so much (at least here in the US) that I'm not sure if they qualify as an "affordable source of protein" anymore! haha My vote is to count that as a late night snack.

Eggs are more affordable compared to other sources of protein here in the Philippines.

Sometimes when you come off a late shift, you need some time to wind down. I think it was probably a snack.

Good point. I usually spend an hour winding down. No mobile phones for me during this time. I just lay down and wait to drift to sleep.
