People that skip breakfast to fast

"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day" is a message made popular - perhaps totally unsurprisingly - by people who sell breakfast foods
Whichever meal you ate when you were hungry was probably the most important meal

I always have a well balanced breakfast of coffee and more coffee.

"Breakfast" is literally just the first thing you eat in a day. If that is after noon, that's still my breakfast.
(This sadly doesn't work in other languages that call it weird shit like "early (time) bite/piece (of food)")
It literally says "break" and "fast". I don't know what else to do but not eat. ;_;
In all seriousness though, skipped brekkie today and I felt fine after eating lunch. Was even a bit peckish halfway to lunch but it passed by the time it was time to actually eat. Now it's dinner time and I'm not even hungry.

wrote last edited by [email protected]As a tangential reminder: drink when you're thirsty. That's your body's way of saying it's time for water. It's worked for millions of years. You don't need someone this late in evolution telling you you need 1.97 liters of water a day or whatever bullshit number.
Which is way too much if you ask me. I had maybe a full 800 ml bottle while playing indoor badminton in the humid thunderstorm heat for like 3 hours. But that's rigorous exercise, not a daily thing.
Just eat and drink when hungry and thirsty and you will live to see tomorrow.

Don’t forget the snacks!

Some people (yes, I'm people) do need help with that because they don't notice when they're thirsty (or hungry). I get so absorbed in whatever I'm doing, I barely register the reminder that has been vibrating every 30 seconds on my watch for 10 minutes, never mind the fact that my head is begging for liquids. Having a clearly defined goal amount is additional help. Some older people also just don't feel thirst anymore at all, I'm told.

Haha yeah.
Once when bicycle touring an older lady cornered me and kept grilling me on what method I was using to stay hydrated. I was puzzled by her repeated questions and eventually said, "Oh! I use a method honed to perfection by 500 million years of vertebrate evolution."She looked puzzled a moment, so I clarified: "I drink when I'm thirsty."
She stomped off in a huff.

Nobody would call it breakfast even if it fits the "um ackshully technically correct" definition of the word.

My hypoglycemic body chemistry would like a word... Dammit

And guess what, the first meal you’re eating is breaking your fast so the logic still checks out

I'm amazed at the number of people who need "break fast" explained to them. So many people use so many words without the slightest clue what they even mean.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I never really thought about it because knowing people who worked night shifts still called it breakfast meant it was probably some holdover that didn't mean what it originally meant. When someone pointed that out in my 20s my first thought was "why would not eating while sleeping be considered fasting"?

“Breakfast” is literally just the first thing you eat in a day. If that is after noon, that’s still my breakfast.
Night shift workers who eat their third meal of their time spent awake still call it breakfast because the term just means early morning meal now.

specifically one of the kellog brothers, the one who did the marketing part. the other wanted to sell cornflakes so that people don't masturbate

Their day hasn't ended yet, spiritually.

Bunch of wankers.

I think "break fast" is one of those things you don't know until you do. You can know what a word means without guessing its etymology.

Except that whatever meal you eat to break your fast isn't necessarily important.
In France and I think Spain, they "break their fast" most often with a coffee and a pastry. Is that coffee and pastry the most important meal of the day?

Wish I could do that.
