Is this true?

>Dinner like a popper

found the pauper

I'm pretty sure he's going to tell you it was all a ruse now.

Maybe he literally snorts amyl nitrite on an evening?

well done, speedy.

No. I was way skinnier until I started eating breakfast. It's literally just extra calories to me, I'm not even hungry in the morning and regardless of whether I eat breakfast I have the same level of hunger at lunch and dinner.

...

How do you fags go through an entire afternoon without eating anything?

>an entire afternoon
>an ENTIRE afternoon

By not having an emotional attachment to food via. comfort eating, I guess?

Don't you have trouble getting through the morning without breakfast? I remember plenty of people almost passing out during classes because they hadn't eaten anything.

>I remember plenty of people almost passing out during classes because they hadn't eaten anything.

Where was this; boot camp?

No. both breakfast and dinner have to stay small, and lunch is your main intake.
If you exercice a lot you can get extra calories with juice and fruits in the day, but not enough to warrant another meal.

Unless you're doing extremely demanding work, breakfast is nothing but a shit ton of extra calories for no reason. Your body will adjust to whatever food schedule you put it on and not eating between 9 PM and 12 PM is one of the easiest adjustments to make

that's not the food, that's people who don't get enough sleep.
If anything eating lots of calories in the morning suck up energy and makes you sleepy.

Coffee.

Nah, just high school. I'm not hungry in the morning either but I also get a bit lightheaded during lectures if I don't eat at least something.

Where are you from that not having an afternoon snack is not the most normal thing in the world?

Might be, but I always heard people talking about lack of sugar.

Coffee and a pastry is the way to go every morning.

Why do you people care so much about those extra calories though? Are you on some very strict Veeky Forums regime or something? At least have a bowl of cereal or something, your grannies would dissaprove of this fuckery.

>Nah, just high school

Then nobody was passing out because they skipped breakfast. Maybe if they'd skipped three days of meals entirely, *then* they might be passing out.

"It must be because I didn't eat breakfast" is what 14 year old girls say because they have no idea how their own body works and that you can't stay up until 3am on the internet/partying/getting stoned and be alert and awake after 4 hours of sleep.

>Where are you from that not having an afternoon snack is not the most normal thing in the world?

Apparently another universe. I mean unless we're going to count a cup of tea as a "snack"? I might occasionally have a biscuit with the cup of tea but surprisingly, yes I can survive an "entire" afternoon without passing out if I don't eat something between lunch & dinner.

>Why do you people care so much about those extra calories though? Are you on some very strict Veeky Forums regime or something? At least have a bowl of cereal or something, your grannies would dissaprove of this fuckery.

>Things only fat people and underage kids say

I have a demanding schedule I think; study from 9-4 work from 5-12 monday to Friday. I exercise every morning and commute by bicycle.

The thing is I try to eat at 12-1am just before bed so I cover the next day up till about 2 or 4pm. I have some grapes in the morning while I execise.

Nah, some people were just pretty frail in general. I never had that problem but I knew some people who were actually liable to faint if they skipped breakfast. I only get a bit lightheaded sometimes if I get hungry but that's about it.

I guess the merenda isn't a global thing.

Must be tough having genes so shit you actually get fat from eating breakfast.

>I always heard people talking about lack of sugar.
people don't know shit about themselves. It's all about staying up late at night doing shit and waking up early and finding excuses because you know everybody will tell you it's dumb to stay up to 2AM on your deviantart/tumblr/facebook page.
To get low sugar problems you need to either have some genetic illness, or going under hell of a shitty diet for a long time.
Typically lots of teens are low on iron or magnesium because they eat junk food and cheap poulty all the time. Iron is especially a problem with girls for obvious reasons, but boys with hemoroids are also likely to get them. Especially since Iron stocks up slowly in the body, so people think one meal will save it, when it requires 3 weeks of care to replenish it correctly. (my 2 cents from personal experience)

...

By not being obese. If im on a day off i might literally not eat until 7 or 8 if i get up late

Idiots, the only proper order is to not eat anything at all. Then you can't go wrong.

Im actually pretty thin and fit compared to most people in the country. I can eat like a slob if I want but I'd rather be fit with a nice body, instead of an average with a body nobody cares about.

Plus in your 20s is when you setup your body for the rest of your life, even if you can eat like crap and not gain much weight when you're younger it does catch up to.

You havent said why you can't just skip breakfast besides the fact you can't help but shove empty calories in there. Bet you have a soda with every meal too and think its nothing affecting anything.

I like wake up early so I can make myself/buy a good breakfast I can enjoy at my leisure. In the decade I worked abroad in Hong Kong doing the fiber optic thing I got used to having steamed rice with ham and eggs for breakfast.

Now that I'm back in the states shining a seat with my ass I don't need all that food so it's just coffee, bagel/toast more coffee and a bit of fruit. Moderate lunch, light dinner.

I'm not arguing you shouldn't, I just find it weird that you do. I'm used to the southern Euro staple of 5 daily meals (breakfast,lunch,merienda,dinner and night snack) and we don't have more problems with obesity and heart diseases than other countries who eat less, very much the contrary in many cases.

People from countries like Italy and France usually have light breakfasts and large dinners. Brits and Americans have heavy breakfasts.

I don't even eat meals anymore, I just graze all day like a motherfucker

one handful of something per hour is my method

Eat dinner in the morning.

From Italy here.

When I was a kid, it was light breakfast, moderate lunch, moderate (but slightly lighter than lunch) dinner. Unless it's the weekend, then it's light breakfast, heavy lunch, moderate dinner. We tend to go a little overboard on weekends.

Nowadays, it's light breakfast, light lunch, heavy dinner.

My brekkie today was just a tartine. That's pretty typical for us.

Hardly. You can eat once a day and possibly be even healthier. The idea of breakfast comes from "breaking" the "fast" that you make when you eat dinner at 6:00PM and wake up to eat about 13 hours later at 7:00AM. The thinking bases on having a constant source of energy throughout the day as having the best outcome.

Yet fasting has benefits that we're starting to realize, though only applicable to men. This appears to be tied to orexin as well as insulin response and growth hormone. I haven't read on it in a while but I read Eat Stop Eat by Brad Pilon. He cites his sources at the end, which is better than most. But the layman can never be a proper skeptic. He'd have to look at everything himself to be sure and gain the specialist knowledge for himself, so there's only infinite regress when you keep questioning. At some point, commoners have to stick to a credible source and trust in their authority. Just the consequences of dividing labor and specialization.

But really, you can eat one meal a day if it has all the calories and nutrients you need. There's no need to eat a certain number of times. The fitness industry has no morals or code of conduct so it's hard to just listen to anyone. At the end of the day, the basic conception of eating healthy has stood the test of time. Fruits, vegetables, fish, and meat etc.

I think the best attitude for the layperson is to learn a bit that he can be sure of, then leave the rest. Nitpicking on highly technical aspects should be left to the specialist but for whatever reason, everyone's eager to show everyone what they think they know after reading secondary and even worse, tertiary sources.

>but it comes with a slice of canteloupe at the end
if i could reach through the screen and smack you i would
fucking disgusting

I'm 6' 140 lbs and in decent shape. I only eat once or twice a day and never before 6pm.

Yes and no.

To put it in simple terms, the food you eat gets converted into energy and building blocks. You're more active during the day, so the energy from the food gets used up and little of it is unused and converted to fat.

HOWEVER, when you sleep you regenerate better. To get swole you break and rebuild your muscles. So you want to have plenty of building blocks available in your regeneration phase.

So basically,

>if you want to stay slim, eat early
>if you want to grow SWOLE regardless of fat gain, eat before sleep
>if you want to be SWOLE but not fat you're in a pickle, try limiting yourself to protein shakes before bed but you'll be always gimping yourself

Personally I have a big protein shake for breakfast, normie food for lunch, a small sandwich in the evening and a small protein shake before bed. Sometimes egg/cheese instead of shakes.

>I'm 6 foot, 140 pounds

>decent shape

No, it's largely overblown how much importance meal management has.

Lots of obese people eat only one, retardedly big meal a day.

it's a simpsons quote, guy. calm down.

underrated

CANTALOUPE KILLED MY FAMILY YOU INSENSITIVE PRICK

Calories in, calories out, and you need to shake up your routine every few weeks to keep your metabolism going

>found the raging gaylord

>I get a bit lightheaded if I get hungry
Your must be eating all the time, how do you ever focus on anything. The calmness in the morning before you eat is excellent. I ride it to lunch on coffee and get lots of shit done.

Only as an intermission to their hourly bag of doritos

Your metabolism is at full swing in early afternoon if you live an active lifestyle, so I don't see why that pic is true. Lunch should be the biggest meal, although "grazing" is the best option.

I'm 5'11, 180 pounds, and have abs. You must literally have no muscle mass lol

>he thinks being anorexic is attractive
Real men eat low carb, high protein+calorie meals multiple times throughout the day for maximum muscle growth

You always get a hardy breakfast in bootcamp

Fuck off, your chicken breasts and eggs dont make you a man. Enjoy speeding towards dementia and an early death.

true. i probably ate 2000-2500 calories for breakfast every day because i knew the rest of the day was MRE bullshit and lost weight

CALORIES IN,
Calories out.

It's that fucking simple you grognards. The ability of your body to process this and the rate at which it occurs impact it on some level, but not in an appreciable amount over time.

Fuck this shit ass board.

Nigga you are the only voice approaching reason here.

I have Delayed sleep phase disorder, and I can't eat a bite until at least 12:00 if not later even if I wake up early. I tried to force myself to eat breakfast for some time but it only made me hungrier during the entire day, like it jump-started my stomach or something, and that's pretty much all it did. 3/10, can live without.

Besides, honeydew is the money melon.

I eat 2 meals a day. where does taht put me?

I eat 1 meal a day. and I eat it whenever I want.

no

second guy lifts, first guy doesn't

however

a big breakfast is awesome an makes you feel good throughout the first half of the day, i don't know why anybody wouldn't choose to eat breakfast.

I dont wake up early enough for breakfast

Nope. Intermittent fasting is the way to go.

lame

wake up early enough then

how the hell do the majority of muricans (maybe other countries too idk i'm murican) skip breakfast? why not just... wake up 20 minutes earlier? worth it 100%.

It's called dinner you disgusting flyover piece of shit. Only inbreds like yourself call dinner supper.

I cringe, but I could stretch way out and have it make some sense.
Your metabolism can be changed to certain degrees, changing the way your body stores energy. Some of these changes occur naturally, with sleep cycles and normal eating patterns combined with activity patterns.
Just changing the times you eat too much shitty food isn't going to make you better off, though. Eating a meal just before bed isn't automatically and permanently going to mess with your sugar processes or anything like that. There is strong evidence that lack of good sleep is terrible for many metabolic functions, and spiking your blood sugar right before bed seems to me to be a great way to keep yourself from getting good sleep. There's probably some people out of the billions who sleep better that way, though.
Big breakfast, big lunch, big dinner, whatever. It's more about your own metabolism and what works for you.
If you have shit willpower and get into bad habits of eating nasty shit as dinner or nasty shit as breakfast, see about eating a bigger meal of whichever you tend to eat better and a smaller meal of whichever you tend to eat crappier. If you find yourself snacking on horrible stuff at certain times of the day where good food is extremely inconvenient, try changing your times so you are eating better stuff and not hungry at those times or get used to some shitty meal bars with decent nutrition or something like that.
Almost everyone has abs, except for people born with prune belly (abdominal muscle deficiency syndrome), and I'm sure there have been some accidents or other diseases causing the absence of abdominal muscles, but those are rare.

off our after-supper meds today are we?

i wake up like 1pm

>"It must be because I didn't eat breakfast" is what 14 year old girls say because they have no idea how their own body works and that you can't stay up until 3am on the internet/partying/getting stoned and be alert and awake after 4 hours of sleep.
I made it through high school with an average of 3 hours of sleep per night and passed with flying colors but I'm a dude though so I wasn't spending my time in high school worrying about whether I took birth control before getting railed by the football team the night before

you realize that you can change the time at which you wake up, right?

even if it's 12:45? it's breakfast if it's your first meal after sleep, doesn't matter if you wake up at noon or 7am.

I have an 8 pack and bigger calves than you.

Nobody cares about your cattle farm.

no, you need to eat
>FIESTA! breakfast with waffle taco
>GRANDE! lunch with bean burrito and nachos
>BUENO! dinner with taco salad
>NOCHE! fourthmeal with Baja Blast Mtn Dew and Doritos tacos

the opposite would happen, Most western breakfast has way more animal byproducts and calorie dense foods than lunch or dinners.

kek

>not eating based oatmeal mixed with an egg, banana flavored protein powder, and peanut butter for breakfast

UYD

breakfast if you're doing physical labor otherwise no, also metabolism is the same while you're sleeping as while you're awake if you're sedentary so yeah.

Maybe if you just sit in a chair all day, but if you do literally anything else you're going to get tired very quickly.

>falling for the agri-meme

yes good goy eat lots and lots of GMO bacon and toast and don't forget the eggs raised in concentration camp cruelty! Just ignore the fact your are impotent and your gf has started sprouting facial hair.

you sound like a real happy, enjoyable person

...

eating 4000kcal over 5 hours isn't a meal, that's 2 meals plus snacking

All humans have facial hair.

testing so far shows no negative effects to eating GMO

Where does the gnar meal fit into this?

When I was younger my parents basically forced me to focus mainly on breakfast and lunch and a veryyy small dinner....nowadays I eat small meals a day.

You should be alright any which way if you've got a calorie deficit going.

That is, calories consumed (minus calories burnt) < calories needed to function.

>Metabolism is the same in idle wakefulness and sleep cycles
No it isn't.

>beverages
>calories

>wat is beer
>wat is wine
>wat is soda
>wat is juice
>wat is milk
>wat is nearly everything but water, plain tea and black coffee
Jesus fuck, you giant ignoranimus. Please don't breed.

You've never noticed the labels on beverages?

so breakfast should be the last thing to enter your body in the day? thats why its on top right?
