Do we need 3 meals a day ?
« on: Wed, 10 December 2014, 04:15:02 »
It seems that the mornings I don't breakfast , I don't feel hungry in the middle of the morning .
While the morning I do , I feel hungry at like 11AM .

Also I'm the week-end I wake up late , and end up eating 2 meals only since I don't breakfast and it feels just ok .

I also read an article pretty similar to this , which explained that 3 meals a day is just a mordern luxury , and how diabetes and such food related diseases are just a result of our morden life style .

What you think ?

I skip dinner if I have a heavy lunch.

Personally I don't think it's the number of meals you eat but rather just that modern food tends to be unhealthier and processed.
People are too busy to eat right, etc.

Hell, I usually eat 4 meals and 2-3 snacks throughout the day. I couldn't imagine getting through the day on 2 meals or less, I'd be like a coma patient all day  :confused:

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

Sometimes when I'm working nights and my body clock is ****ed I will skip a meal.

Provided you get about 2500 calories a day (depending on how strenuous your day is etc), regardless of how many meals you have (and provided it's healthy blah blah blah) you should be ok.

It might be something like that , my days aren't physically exhausting , so my meals are probably enough .

I think I might be hungry in the morning because my breakfasts are light (milk + toast/cereals) .
For those who breakfast , do you eat a thick breakfast ? Like bacon and eggs seems pretty common in USA ?

The thing is, that 2500 calories is the MINIMUM for a man to function day to day with no strenuous activities at all. If you do any exercise or heavy lifting at work, you need to start upping that amount.

I've done serious calorie counting for an entire year when I was younger..

I never got anywhere near 2500 calories..  without feeling uncomfortably overcharged..


it's a warm feeling, like you're always on the verge of sweating... but you're not really doing anything...


1700 on days I don't work out.. and 2000 on days I do ...

Most days I don't breakfast or lunch.

I do dinner though.

And I drink a lot of non-alcoholic fluids during the day.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I usually eat brunch and then a dinner, so that makes it two meals a day for me.
