also it depends on what you actually do: if you’re a manual labourer then yeah get a hearty breakfast, if you sit at a desk just eat a sandwich or something.

jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de 7 months agoI like the summary on Wikipedia:
Present professional opinion is largely in favor of eating breakfast,[62] but skipping breakfast might be better than eating unhealthy foods.[71]
I.e. you should eat breakfast, if possible, but not any product sold as a breakfast product.

Honestly I’m growing more and more to think that healthy food is subjective. Like if you’re overweight yes calorie dence food is probably not that good for you. If you’re underweight you need every calorie you can get. If you’re working out all the time yet again you need every calorie you can get and have the ideal chemical compounds to fule mussel growth. Before the 2000s militarys were rejecting people because they were underweight. Now they are rejecting people left and right for being overweight. I’m starting to wonder if people in the 19th century considered calorie dence food healthy for being calorie dence.

Breakfast should be “light” like Havregrynsgröt or others, then a true dinner before noon so you get enough juice for the rest of the day. Personally against cooking for breakfast, so biased

I eat when I feel hungry and that usually means only dinner, sometimes lunch or breakfast but rarely all 3. I’m pretty low activity so it feels enough for me. I think like eating out of habit at a certain time is a bad thing but might just be my anecdotal experience.

I mostly agree with you, but I think that any habit can have a strong effect, so if you do have habitual healthy breakfasts it’s probably just about as healthy as skipping. I like skipping btw, up untill around 25yo I ate whenever I felt hungry, did some casual and practical fasting, now my hunger impulse has all but lost it’s power and I like it like that, it feels more relaxed somehow.
