I know here in the states they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, its the meal that your body uses to get fuel for the rest of the day. If that is so how come breakfast doesn't seem to add up to dinner, which seems to be the biggest meal of the day.
I guess what I'm saying is shouldn't breakfast be this big to-do, with lost of options and time to eat and everything since it is the meal that provides your fuel and then dinner should be smaller since its the meal right before bed?

They say you're meals should get smaller throughout the day. Your biggest meal should be breakfast, smaller lunch and a very small dinner.
Some countries have lunch as their biggest meal. Kids will even get an hour or two break from school to go home and eat lunch! Crazy. America is just to caught up on living the American dream to ever take the time to eat a meal with the family!

I live in the south and VERY big family dinners are still a thing in some parts. When I used to live at home, and then would visit friends I would end up eating dinner twice. And it never seemed to be anything healthy, like chicken fried steak, or fried okra or biscuits and gravy and mashed potoaes with cheese and butter and sour cream...
yum... I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.
Green beans and velvelta cheese. mmmm...
i'm going to go get some yogurt.
