. heaviest meal of the day

i usually eat small meal during breakfast.. i think it's because we don't really have more time to prepare for it.. just like what you have said.. we eat plenty during dinner because it is the only time that we can prepare more..

Hi sim! You are right that many of us go for heavy dinner. However, it is always better to follow the rule, cited by you. I take normal breakfast and normal lunch and I've lately cut down the intake during dinner. I wish to feel lighter during night so that I could sleep peacefully, heavy meals during night create problems and disturb our sleeping pattern.

i believe in that saying but i don't think i follow. like you, i also eat or not even eating breakfast. usually it's a cup of coffee for me. i eat lunch at home with the family since my place of work is just a few minute drive. but sometimes i also eat near the office.

Normally when I do have breakfast, it is usually a large breakfast to get started in the morning. However, because I am so busy, constantly running, and I am constantly burning through food, I do not do the typical breakfast lunch and dinner. My appetite and activities will simply not allow that. I get hungry too fast and frequently to just have three meals in one day. I have school, and lift weights so I am using a lot of energy through the day. For me, I would probably eat somewhere between 6-8 times in a day. Before, I would have school, work, weights, and heavy physical work, on top of running to chase buses, so I was constantly searching for food. My day would start off around 7 am and I would have eaten a third meal by around 10 or 10:30. These types of days, I would eat as much as 10 times a day. Yeah, I go through a lot of food without thinking about it. Some meals are larger than other, I do admit, which would normally slow a person down, but it never slowed me down having so much food in me. What I do throughout a day is not normal, or probably human, working heavily mentality at school, and physically at work, and lifting. It is expensive to feed me, and people pick on me because what I eat in a day takes a few days for a normal person. I don't care, I grew myself into a big monstrous beast, and I knew I would need the fuel to keep this thing going and growing.

Eating breakfast heavily is good because we must feed our engine we used which are our body and mind to do all task for the day. However, you have a complete breakfast followed by lunch. Only at dinner, if you practice this, you may eat earlier as 2 to 3 hrs. I think before going to bed so that all your intakes will be digested or you may take a digestible food at early eve.

I think many are as guilty as you, haha! This leads to improper diet. That's why a lot of people become obese too. We are all tied up w/ work in the morning, thus many of us do not really observe eating a big breakfast. Most of the time too we are tied up w/ work thus not eating well enough for lunch. I think we have more time during dinner, where you can eat w/o any worries and having the people you love to share it w/ :)

We all need to watch our portions when we eat dinner. But you know too we are also more relaxed and usually not as stressed for time to get things done as we would otherwise be in the morning. I like a good hearty breakfast but don't have the time other than on the weekends, but then that turns into making something everyone likes and alot of dishes and left overs.

I have heard that the largest meal of the day should be breakfast, however I know that I couldn't do that because I don't have the time when I get up in the morning to be able to get that amount of food ready before I have to either leave the house or start work for the day. I have my largest meal in the evening just because it's literally the only time that I am able to prepare the food and then have enough time to eat the food at the same time. When I am on holiday I like to have a large meal in the morning, but that is when other people can cook it for you so you have more time.

After 8 months of following a healthy eating regime with Weight Watchers and losing 77.5 lbs I have found that breakfast is really important; the word 'breakfast' actually means breaking your fast and after a long period without eating(over night)your blood sugar levels will be low. Eating breakfast is therefore really important and it can actually help you lose weight when dieting by kick-starting your metabolism If you don't eat breakfast your body is likely to crave something sweet and you'll end up snacking on unhealthy foods. You will also feel full until lunchtime with no temptation to snack your way through the morning. Some recent studies have even shown that eating breakfast with protein and carbohydrates can make you more alert and assertive to face the day. I now eat three good meals a day and don't feel the need to snack in betweeen meals and it is certainly working for me!!

On days that I plan my meal, my heaviest is Lunch. That is so that I won't be hungry before dinner and go bingeing during snack time. However, when we are busy at the office, or when things are stressful, I find that my biggest meal is dinner because at the end of the day, I feel relieved that I'm out of the office so I get to enjoy the food more, and partly, I tend to overeat when stressed. Breakfast is usually light because a full stomach early in the morning is sometimes painful for me.

I guess that saying Eat Breakfast , like a King, Lunch, like a Prince and Dinner , like a Pauper is used all around the world. I too have heard that is true but I don't think many can follow it. I eat breaskfast but not a big one. The biggest breakfasts I eat are while on vacation and thenm afterwards I feel sleepy. It is not easy to have a very light dinner..as you say it usually turns out to be the heaviest and that's really not good especially if you eat late at night.

hi simplyd my instructor is also telling to us that we should have to eat break fast like a king eat lunch like a queen and dinner as a peasant i like to loose my weight so i tried to follow this things but it is really difficult to follow if u have many money and many food are available , it is really hard to control but i like to do it to lose weight.

Mine is lunch. Though im in the office but i make sure i have a heavy lunch.

I do agree with you. since we are working people, there is lesser time for breakfast. there are even times if you are really tight you just drink a cup of coffee and go... for lunch, because we are eating at the office, the appetite is really not that high. considering also that you want to save more of your breaktime for naps. so you eat fast... and here comes dinner... where all of the family members are around. chitchats as to what happened during the day always happens during dinnertime. and you do not have anything to catch up. so it makes the meal more enjoyable.

Since I both my husband and I have home businesses, we can eat when we please. He decided it was healthier to eat the big meal at lunch time. It took me a long time to get used to this, because it really breaks up my work day to have to have the biggest meal ready at 3 PM and then have to leave for the post office in time to get there before it closes at 5. That's one reason I work so late at night and get up so late in the morning. I find this system doesn't really work well for me, since my body doesn't think it's really night yet if I haven't eaten another meal by 6PM, but my husband only wants fruit then or a piece of toast. That means that since I'm not cooking for him, I'm usually filling up on junk food. I know I won't be losing much weight unless I give up this bad habit.

i have not have such a havest meal since a long time i have it in limit and this to have heavy meal is not so good.

I have also observed the same thing in our home. It's just not feasible to eat plenty in the morning. I've heard of that adage as well, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to follow it. Plus, dinner time is a great way to bond with the family, if the food is good (and plenty), there will be more time to bond!
