"EAT LIKE A KING IN THE MORNING
AND LIKE A BEGGAR IN THE EVENING"
AND LIKE A BEGGAR IN THE EVENING"
This has always been part of my lecture or dietary advice whenever I am on that part of HOW MUCH FOOD CONSUMPTION. I give personalized diet advice since each and every one of us differs. We have different lifestyle, different preference, different activities, different up-bringing...we are all different. And so the diet of another, does not always go with another.
BUT that phrase above applies to all. Not as exaggerated perhaps, but more like it. Breakfast being the very first food intake that which we need to face the day head-on. should not be omitted, instead taken as full meal. We need sufficient calorie intake in right distribution to carbohydrates (or as in elementary education: go food), protein (grow) and fat (glow). Vitamins and minerals should also be in appropriate amounts to help us stay in good health. Supplements needed if our food choices does not ensure sufficient quantity. Lunch to keep us going and serves as the need to take in more fuel to avoid inability of car to move on. Dinner or supper need only be enough for us to complete the day and pull through without a hunger pang to be felt in the middle of the night. And snacks in between, I give them to increase metabolism. This helps in assuring your body that all energy taken in the main meals can be consumed and not stored since there will be another tiny meal to be taken in between. This will NOT make you gain weight provided that you EAT IN MODERATION.
Small but frequent feedings are more advisable than large seldom ones.

Good post and a good reminder too as most of the time we tend to do the reverse by skipping breakfast, having a lighter lunch and have tons of food at dinner time which is not a very good habit really
