We’ve all heard that Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but where does that idea come from? And is it true? On today’s episode, Vanessa Hill joins us to uncover the history of breakfast and whether or not we can truly determine if it is the day’s most important meal.

Can we do a topic on how and when drinking caffeine in the morning has an effect and you. And why we started drinking coffee in the morning.

@Sketchblopp 5 жыл бұрын

@Lol your really funny bro There are a lot of other things which would do this as well, e.g. certain types of tea or some kinds of food. (Or some kinds of breakfast? :D ) Coffee is a plant which is not naturally occuring in many countries, especially not in Europe or the US. Coffee is an article of importation and therefore I could imagine not affordable for everyone at the beginning. And as said it is not the only thing that was imported around the same time (think of the East Indian tee trading). Aside from that drinking coffee (or anything with much caffeine) regularly in large amounts like many people working in offices do can cause a caffeine dependence. Which means coffee helps you to get as much awake as a person who doesn't consume caffein for a month or two. It just gets you on a "normal" level. (And believe me I know what I'm talking about after I switched from a lot of black/green tea to fruit tea for a few weeks.) So I really support this idea and I hope she reads it and makes an episode about it! It's a very interesting topic. ^^

There's a lot of questions here. To answer a few: We (as in America) started drinking coffee to replace tea. Coffee as a morning routine took off during the industrial revolution when 14-16 hr work days were the norm and even industrial workers could afford coffee because roasting and packaging innovation, as well as the way we were mucking around in Central and South America, made it cheap. When coffee began as a beverage it was probably used by religious groups to stay awake through the night prayers, that was long before America was America. After that, it was variously banned and embraced across Eurasia. Most countries with an established culture around coffee either grow it or at some point had a colonial-ish relationship with a coffee growing country. Fun fact, coffee does grow in the States. It grows in Hawaii and some people have been experimenting with trying to grow it in California.

I'm much more on the side of skipping breakfast or keeping it very small - especially if I'm doing desk work throughout the day. I simply don't become hungry until basically lunch time. However, when I know I will be doing a lot of physical activity or labor in the coming day I make a point of eating first thing in the morning to sustain the higher energy use.

I spent most of my life being vastly overweight - well over 300 pounds. Then I suffered a traumatic brain injury which, among other things, led to my losing more than 140 pounds. I have kept it off for the past five years mostly by skipping breakfast along with eating much smaller meals the rest of the day - usually a light lunch and a small snack for dinner. I have no plans to ever eat breakfast again.

Patrick Spreng that's great. I gained weight after being ill and an operation. Took me ages to figure out how to lose it. A low carb diet was key in the end. I don't eat breakfast either, never have. I can't even look at food till at least an hour or two after waking up. It's not needed.

In farming regions, there is Breakfast (often After several hours of heavy work), Dinner (preparing for four or more hours), and Supper (a small meal after all the work is over). In town, there's Breakfast (to prepare for three hours of paper pushing), Lunch (a small meal away from home), and Dinner (arguably the largest meal of the day).

I'm definitely pro breakfast because I tend to be hungry within an hour of waking up, and skipping breakfast has caused me to be light headed before lunch. What I eat varies. Usually leftovers, or if there aren't any, an egg and slice of toast, with avocado if I have it, or cereal if I'm in the mood for sugar. While I hate skipping breakfast, I know there are people who prefer it, and tbh I think it all depends on your metabolism, daily activities, and sleep habits. Breakfast might be the most important meal of the day for me, personally, but not everyone else.

I guess I'm interesting in adding a couple aspects to this discussion. Some people have been discussion ghrelin levels in the body that get suppressed when you sleep. Eating sort of breaks that, and with the newish health benefits of caloric restriction and intermittent fasting, one of the easiest health choices might be to just say breakfast is a lie.

Yah, our bodies get used to when we eat. When you intermittent fast your body doesn't really crave food until around your normal first meal time (mine is 3-4). Intermittent fasting also gives your body time to work on repairing cells and other things because it doesn't have go worry about digesting 24/7.

Eat when hungry and stop eating right before you feel full. That should do it ;)

@totally_not_a_bot 6 жыл бұрын

Sarah Haddad My thinking exactly. However, for many that doesn't work. They tend to be labeled as having eating disorders, which is typically an accurate label. With anorexia, you simply don't feel as hungry because your brain believes so thoroughly that you need less food. With high eating, the switch for "no longer hungry" often doesn't exist. With bulemia, you eat enough, but purge it in private because fewer calories means you'll keep weight off, right? Actually not, but that's the thinking. Bulemia is actually the most terrifying, as it's the least visible. So for the mentally healthy, eat when healthy stop when full is cool, but for others you need to maybe be a little more precise.

@beth8775 5 жыл бұрын

"Stop when full" doesn't work for me. I'm 32, and I'm still trying to figure it out. Intermittant fasting, ie limiting my opportunities to eat, seems mostly workable for me, but then it often makes me grumpy. Grumpy + having a toddler is not a good combo, so I end up not being super strict about it.

Actually, its a very dangerous way of thinking. I used to do that and I developped epilepsy throughout the years because i ate whenever I wanted until i was full. Fasting is really good to slow down your metabolism and makes it function more efficiently. In my case, it cured my epilepsy. Food is a drug. If youre used to eat in the morning and skip breakfast, youll have difficulty to concentrate during the day. The more often you eat, the more youre dependent.

I think it more likely that over our millions of years of evolution, our body doesn't necessarily discern the difference of which meal is eaten at which time of the day, but rather the amount and type of food and overall lifestyle over a longer period of time that would make the most difference in our overall health. However, I would love to see more objective studies done on this subject so we can add it to our knowledge!

In Brazil we eat bread with butter (and sometimes cheese, ham or bologni) with milk and coffee. But there are regional versions, with yams or tapioca (a dish made with cassava flour). It's always very light and many people doesn't even eat the bread, just drink coffee. To eat a complete meal at morning is considered very strange, because the most important meal of the day is lunch. Dinner usually is lighter too, completely opposite to United State, I believe.

When I was growing up. I had A peanut butter sandwich with chocolate milk, and when available orange juice. The reason by what I thought was an odd choice of food for breakfast, (when other people I knew got bacon and eggs,) was because "Peanut butter sticks to your ribs." My father was a farmer when he was growing up and I am sure he needed all of the calories he could muster in North Dakota in the 1950s. I would say if you had to work hard breakfast is very, very important.

@amyclarke6176 5 жыл бұрын

I’ve stopped eating breakfast and have switched to a small snack bar at 11. It allows me to sleep later and not run late a breakfast is what takes me a long time in the morning. I don’t notice myself being hungry and even when I am I am often on the go so a small snack is all I have time to eat. As I work mostly late at night (start at 4pm finish at 1am) the focus and energy from food will be more important and helpful if it comes from lunch or dinner. Even when I’m not working these hours I like to stick to the same cycle of large lunch and carbs rich dinner so that my day has some sense of regularity.

I would say that dinner is the only full meal that I eat on a daily basis. I've been like this my whole life.

Neither of us eat much junk food, though there is the occasional indulgence or guilty pleasure.

I am a pro-breakfast person. I no longer feel I have to eat right after waking up. A better practice is drinking 8 to 16 ounces of water shortly after waking up, since your body is essentially dehydrated after a night's sleep. But I do believe that not eating breakfast, and especially not eating lunch, causes people to binge eat on unhealthy junk foods later in the day.

This is why I eat any type of food I feel like, morning vs evening is a tad silly way to pick if you eat some fish or some cereal. I think the modern trend of cereal, eggs, toast, muffin, ect for breakfast is more closely connected to speed of preparation. I came to that thought because I tend to eat tastier but longer to prepare meals for breakfast if I wake up early, and when I do eat cereal or fried eggs for a lunch or a dinner it's always connected to a low amount of time for preparing a real meal. (Well that and I can't eat a lot of processed meals due to not being able to have soy or wheat, bleh).

If your into fitness, eating dribs and drabs of protein (8-10g per smaller snacking Multiple times a day) will have no “positive” effect on your body. Muscle isn’t triggered unless the diet ( protein content) is right. Find out your Daily Recommended Protein intake and break that up into 4 meals. Get at least 25-30g protein per each 4 meals especially if you’re over 25.

The meal that breaks your fast IS the most important meal of the day. Whether or not you slept well, and regardless of when you wake up, your waking hours at home are when you have the most conscious control over WHAT you will eat. Stock your home with whole grains/cereals and fresh fruit, and you'll find that it is much easier to simply eat that than order a pizza. Skip that opportunity and head out into the world still fasting, and "dollars to donuts", you'll likely end up spending your dollars on donuts - or a muffin (cake) and/or a latté (coffee flavoured fatty syrup).

In Australia (as your friend there might know) Toast lightly buttered and even lighter smeared with Vegemite (loaded with B vitamins) and a slice of tasty cheese (what my fellow Americans call mild cheddar) seems to be one of the more common breakfasts. I have to admit that my first taste of Vegemite had me wiping my tongue with the dish sponge, but what did I know I measured a "little" with an American eye LOL! Eleven years later, I gave it another try, but only when my husband prepares it and it's not bad. It's kind of like if dark beer was salted and a semi solid.

Just a note from a dietitian and performance coach. Any method of eating is going to depend on the person's biology and activity levels. If you are even moderately active then i recommend eating something within an hour of waking up. Also, it depends on quality of food over quantity always. It's hard to study real health effects of just eating breakfast because of the general inactivity of the world and lack of quality foods.

maybe this view of breakfast as the most important meal of the day is an English tradition passed down to its former colonies, because as far as I know in the southern Europe and Latin America breakfast is just a light meal to start the day, the least important, that can be skipped or substituted by a cup of coffee or bread, and the lunch is the main meal of the day, followed by the dinner.

Since I get up at 3:30, breakfast is very important to me. My lunch is at 10am and dinner 44m.

I think that i should have AT LEAST 2 meals a day, and i think i could skip lunch if i have to.But , (please reply, )i think that some people who reply will disagree with me and say that you can skip dinner, because some people might not want to go to bed on a full stomach.

I feel better for having something to eat within an hour of waking up. Wholegrain oat porridge is the most sustaining breakfast for me. My son doesn't eat until lunch time because food in the morning makes him feel queasy. I think its probably a matter of your biochemistry.

I'm eating my main meal of the day when I have the time to cook properly and sit down and eat it slowly and mindfully. For the most part, in my case, that's in the evening when Im back from work. In the morning I don't have the time or the will to eat a big meal. I rather sleep half an hour longer than getting up earlier and eating while I'm not hungry yet. And for lunch, I prefer to have only a short break of half an hour to eat a small meal and walk around a few steps maybe, rather than take a long break around noon and having to work longer im the afternoon.

I usually drink a protein shake for breakfast because it is a quick meal & I am full for 3 or 4 hours.

Some people just can't eat a large, heavy breakfast. It's too much on their stomachs. I can only handle tea and toast, the typical Continental breakfast.

Over the last few years i have been looking for the besy balance for a diet. What i have found is people are all differnent and have to adjust. Small meals all day can yrash you metabolism and you only need one well balanced meal a day with healthy drinks. You are probably throwing away enough money in food to eat better.

I dont like breakfast. I just stick to lunch and dinner, and if at night I'm feeling peckish, I'll have a light snack.

The only way to find if the meal is important is to see how you feel with or without it. I can’t survive w no breakfast but some people don’t feel like eating up till lunch. The not binge eating or overeating might be connected to the quality and nutritional value of food consumed rather than time of consumption. To me eating one or two tops healthy meals a day w healthy snacks and lots of water works best 🤷🏼‍♂️

But what about the fourth meal of the day? The one you eat before going to bed. In the Nordic countries this meal is very normal and I don't get why other countries don't eat anything before going to bed (And we also tend to eat dinner earlier, around 6 in the evening).
