When I was still a student my mom will really prepare our breakfast. shwe wont allow us to go to school with an empty stomach... According to her... Breakfast you need to eat like a king, lunch eat like a queen and dinner eat like a princess... But now that I am away from home I just have a coffee and bread in the morning since I dont have the time to cook for mysely and I will be late in going to work... Today the most important meal for me is my lunch... How about you? what is the most important meal for you in the day? what meal do you eat more? breakfast? lunch or dinner?

My most important meal of the day is dinner. It is the only meal I eat. I don't like to eat breakfast, usually I am not even hungry in the morning. In the afternoon I forget to eat most of time because I am so busy with all kinds of stuff. So dinner is the only meal I always eat.

I know everyone tells you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I'm not saying they're wrong coz i never miss breakfast but i always seem to eat more for lunch. This could be due to the fact that i don't have enough time to eat a big breakfast before i go to school. i don't know??? :)

Although it is always said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, I've never been in agreeance. I find it is one of the hardest meals for me to stomach, and generally manage on a 'cuppa' and piece of toast. Lunch is ok, but dinner is usually my main meal, I guess I look at it as the meal that replenishes all the energy I've expended throughout the day!

Nowadays, the most important meal for me is my dinner. It is because I have enough time to prepare for it; furthermore, I will sleep at late evenings because of some works on net. In the morning, it is always a busy hours for me to do all the household chores and fixing my kids stuffs. During lunch, I can't still eat much because I will be preparing for my kids for school. So what I did is, I took biscuits everytime I am hungry just to get rid from ulcers. LOL

Eating a good breakfast will keep you from getting too hungry, which will help prevent you from over-eating. It is also helpful to those of us who tend to eat when we're not hungry. By keeping your appetite at an even keel, it may in turn help you control your inpulse to eat when stress or emotions start to get the best of you

How about lunch and dinner? Do you also eat in full when lunch and dinner come?

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for me. I know what your mom is talking about. Because we burn less calories as the day wears on, we're supposed to eat the lightest meal for dinner. I always want to start my morning with protein, so I'll have enough energy to greet the day with enthusiasm.

i used to only take a cup of horlicks before going to school everyday. i guess there are breaks in school so I would usually eat a bit before lunchtime. or lunchtime was early so that was not a problem. lately i think I've been getting the order all wrong. eat like a princess in the day, like a duke for lunch and like a warlord for dinner haha. maybe that's why I'm growing fat. help! at least I don't eat supper yet!

Hi jbelle! According to experts, and my mother the most important meal is breakfast because we have fasted for so many hours at night time that we needed the nutrition to sustain our body for the day. Oh I believe that of course, however, I don't regard it personally as my important meal because I do eat a hearty lunch because in the mornings, I just have coffee or tea. Take care and have a nice day!

Mine is lunch. Our lunch time in our country is not simple, it is the most important meal of the day. I can go on without breakfast because I only take a glass of milk or some fruit. At night I can eat only a bread with butter and cheese. But I just can't not to eat at lunch time.

My mom used to make us breakfast before school every morning, also saying it was most important. Now, I don't eat breakfast much, seems to make me hungrier throughout the day. I usually have a small lunch and eat a good dinner.

I'm a Filipina, all meals are important for me! heheheh... Seriously though, as long as I've got a good breakfast, I can forego (if I absolutely have to) lunch and then just move on to dinner. But I also learned from my work to eat when there is food and sleep when you can. Because you'll never know when you're next meal is and when you can rest.
