Eating first?

What harm does it do to eat some fruit right before doing the rites? It works best for me to do them first thing in the am but I do feel a bit weak before breakfast. I'm wondering why I can't eat breakfast (small bowl of fresh fruit only, I'm not talking bacon and eggs :)) and then do the rites.

Why are you not supposed to do them with food in your stomach? If I do eat some fruit how long do I have to wait? Thanks! Tweet
