Oh no hell no. I think eating most of the day's calories for breakfast is the best thing one could do. I usually feel full for longer and I don't get distracted by hunger as much. Lunch is overrated.

I only eat a big breakfast if I know lunch isn't guaranteed or if I know I'm doing a lot of manual labor that day. Otherwise a big breakfast will make me sleepy right after I wake up so it's pointless. Small breakfasts and coffee is the way to go.

if you lived in my area I could absolutely get you a job starting at 25 an hour but you'd probably kill yourself

here's my schedule. green is days red is nights. 13 hours a day since you often have to show up early and leave late. there's also mandatory overtime occasionally that leaves you with less than 24 hours before going back to work on the opposite shift.

No, but everyone is eating backwards.

Old sayings are questionable:
>Out of sight, out of mind
>Absence makes the heart grow fonder

We move more in the morning, therefore we "process carbs better" in the morning than we do at night when we just sit around waiting for bed. If you move at night you're fine, if you're sedentary after breakfast you're fucked. It's the movement, not when you eat.

No, but breakfast culture is. For most of human culture, the breakfast meal was reheated/cold leftovers. The idea of cooking a diverse array of meats, eggs and grains in the morning is stupid. I like to start my day with leftover meat, or bread and cheese.

Yes. I only eat one meal a day, dinner, in which I banquet a champion's bounty. Last night was Mexican night so I made two flaming hot burritos, chunks of steam and peppers in fried rice, and a small bowel of chili. Overall it was a little over 2,100 calories. I watched the classic anime Record of the Lodoss War while I dined, and slept for nine hours before waking up to take a long and healthy shit. Breakfast is what you eat when you got nothing to look forward to.

You gotta remember, that style of breakfast was designed during a time when America was still being built through daily physical labor. Men needed a big breakfast like that to give them tons of calories and protein to start their day and help their muscles develop.

Today though, that's just decadent. There's point to breakfast for most people, it seems. We're way more sedentary by comparison.

Have done the hardest manual labour imagineable; asbestos removal at a stadium; taking down concrete walls entirely by hand while wearing an unbreathing plastic suit and a mask limiting breathing. Poured inches of sweat out of boots by lunch. Then you take all the 60lb bags and throw them up over a 7' dumpster; without mask and suit at least.

Depends on your lifestyle, If you are out the door within an hour of waking up to do a lot of walking or riding a bike long distances, dinner is I think more important in that case (so as to have a full glycogen tank upon waking.)
