/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Eating something makes sense, but not a large meal. A small meal after waking up, then a very large lunch would be more optimal.

>>15688455
Lunch is not supposed to be a large meal either, you fatty

>>15688432
In a way, yes. For most of history people would get to work right after waking up and not eat until midday. In Medieval Europe skipping breakfast was baked into theology, it was considered slothful and gluttonous to indulge yourself by eating right after you awoke.

Breakfast became more common as the world became richer and people had more leisure time to sit around eating.

>>15688458
Why not?

Having hit my 30's I think i'm gonna reduce my morning portions until I can get by with just a glass of tea.

>>15688432
get you a woman who looks at you the way a friar stares at parsnips

>>15688475
that guy sure did enjoy painting chunky friars eating, haha

>>15688466
Small breakfast, small lunch, big dinner. That's how it is. Then people started supersizing all three and they're surprised everyone is fat. This is not how you're supposed to eat.

>>15688488
>big dinner
>literally ingesting the most amount of calories right before your body ceases to digest
Yeah, do that if you want to gain fat and nothing else. You're supposed to have a big breakfast, a medium lunch, and then a small dinner.

>>15688492
>small dinner
I'm pretty sure nobody eats a small dinner. Dinner is a large meal by definition. Who eats a thimble of spaghetti for dinner? No one.

>>15688463
You got the theology all wrong.
Breakfast is literally called that because you're breaking your fast (you're not supposed to eat before attending mass).
But for the laity only Sunday is a church day, so for normal week days you go and have a hearty breakfast before you till the fields.
On Sunday you attend mass at the break of morn, then you have your Sunday roast. Extra beef for anyone who scores extra bullseyes during the Sunday yeoman archery practice.

>>15688492
This. I always thought you’d want to eat the most during midday, to give your body time to process, then a small amount of food the meal closest to bedtime as it’s not as hard on your body.
I’ve often heard of diets saying to eat a large breakfast (maximum digestion time), a medium lunch, and a small dinner.

>>15688492
>>literally ingesting the most amount of calories right before your body ceases to digest
Your body doesn't stop digesting food just because it's nighttime or because you're sleeping retard.

>>15688519
You’re right, you don’t stop digesting when you sleep, but your body’s ability to metabolize and digest efficiently decreases significantly. Also, not recommended to eat a lot before bed, since your body’s attempts to process a lot of food will conflict with your ability to rest

>>15688458
if anything lunch should be the nain meal

>>15688530
I know boxers who eat small meals right before bed time when they need to drop weight because eating before bed increases their metabolism while sleeping. I haven't investigated any further into this claim but it's a widely known practice within the boxing community. So in would disagree with you given the above information.

>wake up
>thirsty hungry and groggy
>eat breakfast
>feel ready for work
>is this propaganda?
wtf is wrong with your brain

>>15688587
Actually, for me personally, I feel most energized on a virtually empty stomach. If I eat a lot, I enter a food coma and work is a drag.

>>15688492
how fucking late do you eat dinner?

>>15688547
I took a look into it, since I was curious what it was. Looks like you’re right, metabolism remains fairly constant during sleep. This seems like it matches then with diets I’d heard of doing something similar; larger breakfast, small dinner

>>15688594
Same. When I’m doing a big driving trip I usually don’t eat a lot before or during, I just feel a little more “awake”

>>15688604
who said eat a lot you fucking retard faggot jesus christ you people make me want to commut

>>15688614
k
I’m just enjoying talking bout eating breakfast and you’re over there getting mad

god damn you are fucking stupid as shit

after a quick workout i have one or two double espressos with sambucca and a fresh croissant+proscuitto+provolone+arugula sandwich to start the day doesn't feel right without it

>>15688684

>stare at shower floor for 30 minutes trying not to fall back asleep
>drink cig and smoke coffee before getting in car
>smoke 50 more cigs on the way to work
>feel depressed as i open the door
>"good morning" the other works screech
>do mind numbing "programming" for 4 hrs until lunch break
>feel hungry but no apitite, going into the lunch room also means having to socialise
>go out back door for smoke break and another coffee
>work for another 6hrs
>crawl into car and black out the entire way home
>light a blunt and feel blood slowly return to veins
>cook banquet for myself
>everything tastes great because hitting the 3rd blunt by now
>step into bed at 9pm and instantly pass out

i've tried eating breakfast before, instant fucking diarrhoea and headaches.

>>15688702
yeah simply don't smoke weed...100% responsible for your pathetic lifestyle...i'd consider killing yourself because you have already caused permanent brain damage

>>15688702
your coworkers feel sorry for you as the stoner loser who has permanently wrecked his brain and personality...even if you stopped lighting up you would still remain that same pathetic weed addled loser people can see it from a mile away

>>15688710
>>15688724
i wish, i cannot keep a job without it, life is just too depressing if you can never unwind after work. i was sober for 3 years and homeless for most months of that time, it wasn't until i robbed a drug dealer that netted me $200 and enough weed to sit through an interview without fucking it up. i can now afford rent easily and am saving up for a house deposit. if i quit the drugs i'll crash and burn just like the last time.

>>15688782
yeah. right. so kys simple.

>>15688684
same, after my morning krav maga classes i nip down to the bakery and get a fresh pumpkin seed and raisin ciabatta bread, followed by a freshly made americáno. maybe a chard, kale, watercress, and water chestnut salad if im feeling peckish.

>>15688872
no. you're not the same. you sound like a fag.

>>15688702
>eat breakfast
>instantaneous diarrhea and headaches
I think you should see a doctor anon

>>15688782
Anon, honestly start spending your weed money on a therapist and just let everything go on your first day. Shit, even if you can’t do that, keep going even if you hate it. It will make you better one day, like it did for me. You can do it fren

>>15688910
>>15688924
i mean you're not wrong, the weed doesn't fix anything, still feel as shit as i always have, it just lets me reset the day and try again when i wake up. desu i could probably afford both now, smoking and seeing a therapist for a while that is. haven't been really looking, because i don't want to waste a fuck ton of money if it doesn't help, but i like your idea, maybe i can just book a extra long session at a few places and try that?

>>15688954
are you gonna live like this forever? might as well just kys now then. pay the fucking therapist anon, they're probably smarter than you

>>15688492
Some grade A bullshit mum science right here.
I bet you think sit ups to get rid of belly fat too. Idiot.

>>15688983
anons brain is permanently destroyed...it's nice to hope but there is no better future the only thing is that he doesn't hurt anyone else (besides his parents of course but thats neither hre nor there im sure the faggot has been a lost cause for a while)

>>15688702
Buuh huuh huuh I wake up and live in a first world country with everything at my feet and in arms reach, please I have it so awful waaah.
Go neck yourself if your life is so awful, waste of human ressources.

>>15688463
It was considered glutonous because their dinners were fucking massive and would wake up full next morning.
If you keep your dinner rather light, then it only makes sense to eat breakfast which is larger than one dried up cinnamon roll

>>15688463
In the Roman Empire, it was considered gluttonous to eat before the late afternoon or evening. They typically had one true meal per day. If needed, they would have a snack earlier in the day - like if they were doing a lot of physical labor and wanted to eat some fruit/nuts to give them some energy. They ate a large meal in the late afternoon/early evening and that was it.

This continued through the middle ages. It wasn't until the renaissance period that breakfast started creeping its way in. The justification for the lower classes was that they got up very early and did a ton of work early in the day, and needed energy to get it done. They started getting provided with breakfast by their lords or whomever was running their farming community. This caught on and led to people in higher and higher classes of society eating meals early in the day. The reformation breaking some church customs helped this all along. Lunch showed up in this period (more 1600s to 1700s) as well, and was a popular event in the merchant and upper classes for the same reason it is today - a food break during business hours where you could get coworkers or clients in a social setting to more casually discuss affairs.

Eventually, the breakfast lunch and dinner pattern we all know today came around for the reasons most things came around. Shift work and schedules. When the industrial era began, breakfast and lunch took off as popular must-have meals and usually corresponded to the shift of work you were on. Not everyone was eating all those meals, but they were becoming socially expected in a lot of settings. Eventually in the late 1800s it was the norm and the early 1900s is when the government started pestering people about the "three square meals a day" bullshit. Of course much of that was propaganda paid for by food makers, much like the now discontinued food pyramid that had everyone eating 900 servings of bread daily and then questioning why they were ballooning to obesity.

>>15688782
>robbed a drug dealer that netted me $200
The fuck outta here. You broke into your little sister's friend's stash. You ain't Omar unless you get 15,000

>>15688594
You know the stomach isn't binary right
there is a gradient of satiety between "empty" and "stuffed"

You could always tell which people didn't eat breakfast in school because they were irritable little shits until after lunch or after they managed to cram some soda in before then.

>>15689317
That's why you shouldnt eat breakfast.
Keeps you energised and angry, focused.

>>15689337
Ah I see, the extermination camp method to keep people docile.

Let's face it fatties are fat because they are eating too much.
3 square meals a day was meant for a time of farm and construction work didn't involve powered machinery.
Now land whales eat between meals.
A typical lardass diet consists of:
Brekfast: full of cereals, breads and fruit juice, pancakes and syrup.
11's: cakes and biscuits, candy bars.
Lunch: meat, potatoes, rice.
Afternoon pick me up: biscuits, cake, candy bars.
Dinner: meat, potatoes, rice.
Supper: takeaway, wings, pizza.

All interspersed with sneaky gulps of full sugar soda, beers and alcohol, ice cream and "treats".

It's disgusting.

Sure is a lot of drama for
>wake up
>be hungry
>eat

>>15688432
I eat breakfast because I'm hungry when I wake up.

>>15688432
not just breakfast - also carbs

>>15688488
This is retarded. Like >>15688492 said, why the fuck would you eat the largest meal right before sleeping. You need the most energy during your day because that's when most of the work is.

People have eaten large lunch/small dinner for centuries, it just makes more sense. Dinner should be a smaller meal so that you don't get indigestion from being asleep with a full stomach.

>>15688595
Idk if you're US or something but the vast majority of people in Europe eat later than 7pm. Food takes like 6 hours to digest properly, so Europeans go with a later, but smaller meal.

I haven't eaten breakfast in years

Growing up, I had dirtbag parents that never gave me breakfast or lunch.

I've been eating only one large meal a day for over 30 years. I don't have any digestion, nutrition, or weight issues.

If I eat breakfast or lunch at all, it feels heavy in my stomach as I'm trying to work during the day and it makes me feel sluggish.

I work a physically demanding job. I do not eat breakfast or lunch because I would probably puke it up. I then eat as much food as I can in the evening and right up until bedtime. I still have trouble keeping my weight as high as it needs to be for what I do. Especially in the summer when the calories get burned so fast to cope with overheating. I am always looking for high fat and high protein foods but my system cant handle not having some basic vitamin and mineral stuff like vegetable fiber. When I worked at a desk all day for years I had coffee until lunch, a big lunch, and a very meager dinner. I had to keep my weight down for that job because being 200lbs behind a desk will give you every single lifestyle health condition you can imagine. Im in my 40s now and I feel amazing. No booze or drugs. I used to keep a lot weight on by drinking beer but it was wrecking my system from the alcohol.

>>15688432
farmers used to have breakfast twice.

>>15688432
just eat when hungry fat ass and no your boredom doesnt count as being hungry.

>>15688872

Bkfst is the result of people getting better. I wake up between 4:30 & 5:30 and owning your morning is super important. I eat 2-3 bkfsts while lunch or brunch (no homo) is the biggest. I also dont drink any alcohol after 1 PM. Afternoons are for deals. Evening and night is for r&r

I miss when I was swimming every morning and lifting or running every evening. I got to chow down on massive breakfasts and still not feel full.

>>15688924
Therapy doesn't work for smart people or people with real problems, only normalfags with sad feefees who need to pay for a friend who want snitch on them for cheating or not loving their kids anymore
It's literally confessionals 2.0

You should look up krav maga in the dictionary. It doesnt mean sucking dicks behind the 7-11.

>>15688432
I only eat breakfast on Saturday mornings, and even then not everytime. Usually nothing more complicated than some scrambled eggs with sausage and side of fruit, or waffles with bacon. Every once in a while I'll hit a breakfast diner for something like biscuits and gravy.
I'm more of a one meal per day kind of guy.

>>15688455
Nah bro, too big lunch makes you tired as all of your blood flows from the brain to your intestines. Its better to spread out snacks throughout the workday for optimal productivity.

>>15688458
Lunch is traditionally the largest meal in France, and they're one of the thinnest countries in Europe. It's balanced out by an extremely light breakfast and a light dinner.

>>15688475
man that beer looks good

>>15693587
can't eat for 18 hours after taking that, idk how people do it all the time

Big lunch is best big meal. Wanna have 1200 cal din din at 7 pm then go to sleep with a nice full stomach while your mom tucks you in?

By building tolerance or being adhd my guy. in high school i got on vyvanse. i was prescribed 70 mg and i could take a nap an hour after dosing or eat without issue. Be tougher idk

I prefer my meals in the morning. Actually, I'd rather have second breakfast and skip dinner.

>>15694501
The French eat a cup of coffee and maybe a croissant for breakfast. And again, they are one of the thinnest countries.

>>15694532
Some people work for a living and don't have time to stuff their gobs at lunch time. Dinner is the only time people who aren't NEETs, like you, have a decent amount of time to actually get some calories in.

>>15694781

so you don't actually DO anything at work then, do you?

Why would the body stop digesting at night? What the fuck does that even mean?

>>15690961

What facebook meme is this nonsense?

>>15688432
>result of decades of propaganda?
kek more like psychological terrorism. i don't even have the patience to spend all day eating.

when i was a kid i even had the school call my parents because i supposedly "didn't eat" (when i was already fed by my equally deranged mother). they were so aggressive to me i thought they would try to force feed me at some point, and they also implied that by being different and not eating i was being disrespectful towards the poor children who didn't have food at their own homes. yeah fuck them all. i hope those kids got anally raped for being so poor and retarded.

>>15688506
Are you american? I've always seen American media, in which people were eating big dinners and it was weird for me, cause in my country lunch is our "dinner". It's the big meal, for which the food is cooked and it's a typical meat, carbs and fibreous veggies meal.
Breakfast and dinner are the smaller meals here, you'd typically eat like a sandwich or some shit then.

>>15688432
>wake up

Breakfast food are due to propaganda. Farmers used to top off their breakfast (after chores, etc.) with a slice of pie.
