Should breakfast be the biggest meal of the day?!


Question: Should breakfast be the biggest meal of the day?
Because we have all day to use the energy from a big breakfast.

Answers:

Not necessarily. Fresh fruit and a handful of raw almonds or walnuts are great for breakfast since nothing is in your stomach and the fruit will not 'rot' in there on top of other digesting foods. Not to say that is ALL one should ingest for breakfast. Plus, fruits and raw nuts are a great way to begin the day. Ask any Oncologist, or Family Practitioner for that matter.
Lunch should probably be larger than dinner, although not to over do it. One has the rest of the day to work off what you have ingested for lunch. If too many carbs are ingested, then one becomes somewhat sluggish, so it's best to have a balanced lunch unless you can afford a bit of 'down time' afterward. Most U.S. jobs do not allow such, although it is common in Europe. Go figure!
Dinner should be light.



wonderful question --------i completely agree

yes ------breakfast should be the biggest meal ,coz it will supply the energy required to the body to finish the work all day long

if lunch is the biggest meal ----it would take some hours ,to get digested ,and energy to get released in the body ----by then ,the working day will almost be over

from now on i will have a big breakfast

thanks for enlightening me ma'am

good luck



No way. If I eat breakfast, that's the whole day ruined- I just get sleepy and have to crash out, unless I only have juice or something tiny.

That's such a myth.
I use the energy I have from the day before. There's no way I ever want to stuff my gob first thing in the morning.



No. Lunch should be. Lunch is the meal whose intake is properly timed to provide you with energy throughout the day. Breakfast is only a preface to lunch, and dinner should only be that little extra that holds you over until you sleep.



Yes..because breakfast is supposed to replenish our body's energy wasted from the previous night...



This old saying says it all.............
Breakfast like a king
Luncheon like a prince
dinner like a pauper

it works too!!!



Absolutely, it gives you the energy you need to have a successful day!



No, you should be eating 3 that are about the same size.
