Why is 3 meals a day the goal? I thought the ‘breakfest is the most important meal of the day’ was just a commercial series. I usually don’t have time for breakfast and I don’t really feel like I’m missing anything.
The goal is having the possibility to eat three meals a day.
The article kinda conflicts the two. It talks about financial situation, but then it just asks “Do you eat three meals a day?”, and doesn’t ask you to clarify why. I for example can describe my financial situation as precarious, as they want me to do in the article, but it doesn’t mean I can’t afford food.
I like the summary on Wikipedia:
Present professional opinion is largely in favor of eating breakfast,[62] but skipping breakfast might be better than eating unhealthy foods.[71]
I.e. you should eat breakfast, if possible, but not any product sold as a breakfast product.
also it depends on what you actually do: if you’re a manual labourer then yeah get a hearty breakfast, if you sit at a desk just eat a sandwich or something.
Honestly I’m growing more and more to think that healthy food is subjective. Like if you’re overweight yes calorie dence food is probably not that good for you. If you’re underweight you need every calorie you can get. If you’re working out all the time yet again you need every calorie you can get and have the ideal chemical compounds to fule mussel growth. Before the 2000s militarys were rejecting people because they were underweight. Now they are rejecting people left and right for being overweight. I’m starting to wonder if people in the 19th century considered calorie dence food healthy for being calorie dence.
Breakfast should be “light” like Havregrynsgröt or others, then a true dinner before noon so you get enough juice for the rest of the day. Personally against cooking for breakfast, so biased
I was taught to eat four meals a day so you people talking about two or even one meal a day seems crazy
Raised on a farm? Mom had that where they’d do breakfast, lunch, dinner, and supper. But they were working off a whole lot more calories than I am.
idk about everyone else but my solution to shit finances isn’t eating less, it’s making half my diet potatoes and onions…
i generally find statistics like these to be nothing more than ragebait.
I’m doing pretty decent financially, and I don’t eat three meals a day. I just have awful dietary habits.
3 meals a day was never normal for me
Well yeah. If I sit at home on Sunday playing videogames, I’m OK eating once a day and maybe having some snacks. If I bike to the mountains, I eat my weight in food. If I work intensively, I might have three meals a day, but sometimes I’m OK with two and a coffee with croissant for breakfast even then.
You seem to paint it like it’s some kind of a bad thing
