    Worse yet, there are people who don’t eat breakfast. Do they photosynthesize their food instead?

      What’s even worse is people who don’t understand that we are a hunter-gatherers. Our ancestor’s first meal came much later in the day and we have evolved as such. Not eating a lot for breakfast is extremely comon and burned in our DNA. Don’t know where you are going with this.

      I don’t. I feel it takes a few hours (4-5) for my body to wake up enough to feel hunger, and if I force myself to eat breakfast I feel queasy. So I just eat black coffee and move on.

        Great, now I have this mental image of you waking up late, going “NO TIME TO WAIT FOR THE KETTLE!” and just eating spoonfuls of instant coffee straight from the jar before running out of the house.

        Same, a large breakfast makes me feel queasy too. I never met another person like this. I usually don’t eat until noon.

        But, 10AM and later, I’m not queasy.

        This. I really only eat a small breakfast because I have to for meds, but if it weren’t for that I’d totally be fine with one big meal a day (turns out to be dinner most of the time) and perhaps one apple or sth. late at night.

        This forced 3-meal system is so weird and inconvenient.

          It all revolves around work… eat before work, at your please-take-the-smallest-amount-of-time-mandated-so-we-don’t-get-sued mid-day or mid-shift break, and after work.

            That’s just because we made it like that though for some weird cultural reason (as well as propaganda), there’s zero reason why an office worker or train conductor couldn’t eat multiple small amounts of fruits and veggies over the day, or just none at all until home. Even the idea of the “importance of breakfast” literally came from Kelloggs trying to convince everyone to eat cereal in the morning 60(?) years ago to build themselves somewhat of a ‘cultural anchor’. I mean, we could’ve also gone the way to chop each workday in 2-hour chunks and eat a bite between all of them. Good thing nobody told Nestle they could’ve made people buy more food that way.

      I literally feel sick if I eat breakfast. Only after a couple hours do I get hungry. I only really eat breakfast if I know I am going to be physically active and will need the energy like if I went cycling or hiking.

      Used to abstain from eating breakfast sometimes when I was younger. Now I’ll likely feel nauseous if I do.

      There’s no rhyme or reason to it, but some mornings a black coffee is all I seem to want/need which is kinda negative calories

      Other mornings I’ll polish the plate of a large full English and will perish if I don’t
