Well for me I'd say breakfast, I mean you have not eaten for like 12 hours while your brain is working
*Indistinct muttering noises*I'm a fan of the 11pm bowl of ice cream myself
If you have a decent breakfast you can make it till the next day I've done it myselfI’d say Lunch cuz it will get you through the day if you miss breakfast and sustain you till dinner.
So true, sugary sweets like donuts, ice cream, and etc to me are nothing. You gotta have protein.*Indistinct muttering noises*
I don't think that qualifies as a meal Chevs
I must admit Chicken Fried Waffles are my Kryptonite…I'm definitely a big fan of front-loading your daily caloric needs.
Meaning, I prefer a big breakfast, big lunch, and a small dinner.
Like everything, not a rigid rule, but moreso a guideline.
Plus, waffles are the source of my powers.
Unfortunately the way society is structured with most people working during the day means that dinner is the biggest meal and people don't have as much time to burn those calories before going to sleep. I think we wouldn't have as many fat people if breakfast was the biggest meal of the day followed by a medium sized lunch and small dinner. Of course that's only one factor, though, not taking into account how processed food is.
Anyhow, I think breakfast is the most important meal because it ends the fasting we all experience when we sleep and jump starts most people's days.
to add on, exercise also only results in a temporary increase in metabolic rate, so you can't just "burn it off" with exercise. Hunter-gatherer societies today still burn 2,000 calories even with their constant activity. Maintaining calorie intake and reducing stress (cortisol production) might be the two most important factors in weight loss, and as someone who's trying to lose weight, limiting my calories sucks a lot! Especially when I have to be responsible for budgeting and preparing my own food.I think a big trouble is that people don't work out their base metabolic rate and achieve caloric maintenance or (if too fat)even a deficit over the course of each day and each week because it is seen as too much effort.
Hunger can be a big trouble for people when trying to lose weight. High fibre high protein tends to work best to beat those hunger pangs along with plenty of water/green tea. I personally recommend adding psyllium husk into your life if you haven't already. Not only does increasing fibre reduce the risk for all causes of mortality and give the best poops of your life but it is very filling.to add on, exercise also only results in a temporary increase in metabolic rate, so you can't just "burn it off" with exercise.
