Once I started skipping breakfast, I felt more awake in the morning. Not only that, but I had more time in the morning to get ready for work. My real problem is how to consume less calories, not more.
hmm breakfast

causepix@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
No, actually. I think it would unironically be better to get all your calories and nutrition from bread, cheese, and sausage than to have a diet consisting entirely of high-sugar, ultra-processed food.
Also breakfast is completely optional and it’s promotion as “the most important meal of the day” is a scam to sell more cereal, milk, and eggs. I will die on that hill.
Grimtuck@lemmy.world 5 months ago
My hill to die on is that breakfast is the only meal that you can work the calories off all day. Eat what you want for breakfast but have a lighter lunch and even lighter evening meal.
causepix@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
Well technically you’re burning the same number of calories regardless of the time of day they were consumed, and two meals per day is a lot easier to keep at 2000 calories (as a rule of thumb - different for everybody) than three meals per day.
Personally I like to keep the digestive process dormant for as long as possible. Eating breakfast makes me hungrier throughout the day, so I end up snacking more than I otherwise would. I’ve never been a breakfast eater though so I’m pretty well wired not to break fast until lunch.

Also breakfast is completely optional>
Yes for some, no for others? When I was a kid I hated having breakfast. My stomach would feel weird if I ate within the first two or three hours of being awake. But now, I need something. Nothing heavy. Some toast and peanut butter is good enough. If not, I get sick to my stomach. I would assume I’m not the only one who is like this.
causepix@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
aha, hence why I said optional. If you want/need it, have it. If you don’t want or need it, it doesn’t actually harm you in any universally applicable way to just wait until lunch.

This is also the reason why Metamucil doesn’t sell in Europe. Seriously: just looking at the left picture gives me constipation.
(I understand that the pic is a joke, but anyone who has a coffee and a fag after breakfast can attest to their wonderful laxative powers.)

Also, what’s up with Brits and Europeans eating baked beans for breakfast. Beans are not appetizing as a breakfast food.
Phineaz@feddit.org 5 months ago
Baked beans are fucking brilliant, you should broaden your culinary horizon
UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Wdym “Brits and”? I’ve only ever heard about that being a thing in GB, and I don’t think it’s all that popular there either
michaelalf@lemmy.world 5 months ago
‘Baked Beans on Toast’ is a staple breakfast food in Australia too. It’s served in most cafes, usually alongside eggs, bacon, chipolatas, hash brown, and a grilled tomato.
dil@lemmy.zip 5 months ago
I grew up on these in america since my cousins are british, no other beans work, I remember them leaving and my mom tried to buy the right beans, it took months she shouldve just asked, any other beans suck and dont taste the same or work with breakfast food imo, heins beans + sunnyside up eggs + bacon + toast in one bite is peak

I get it.
Pacattack57@lemmy.world 5 months ago
If beans get you bloated your fiber and vegetable intake gotta be ABYSMAL. And I’m not talking about Taco Bell beans. Just regular beans you cook at home either canned or boiled.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 months ago
okay that’s fair but burritos are pretty great. not as good as tacos with a side of chips and salsa, but still pretty great.
if you don’t like mexican food i worry our cultural values (mine ranking deliciousness laughably high) don’t line up, but we can probably figure it out.

This picture HAS to be AI. The cheese weeks are getting progressively smaller. 2 cups of wine. The sauce bowl is barely bigger than a grape ñ. That purple sausage? in the middle looks like a turd. The pickles in the edge are even smaller than the grapes. Sausage baked into pound cake for breakfast seems odd.
VonReposti@feddit.dk 5 months ago
The cheese wheels are getting progressively smaller
Different cheeses are different sizes. I’m no cheese master but I think it’s a comté, a brie, and a Camembert in order of size.
2 cups of wine
Two glasses for two people? You share a cheese plate. We aren’t selfish fat idiots in Europe.
The sauce bowl is barely bigger than a grape
What do you mean, its almost the size of all the grapes together? We don’t drown all our food in gallons of sauce like mad men. The food itself actually has taste opposed to whatever McD serves for breakfast.
That purple sausage
Look up a Saucisse Sèche d’Auvergne. They do look like that.
The pickles in the edge are even smaller than the grapes.
It’s cornichons. They are that small.
Sausage baked into pound cake for breakfast seems odd
It’s bread. Not cake. Bread and sausage is extremely common together. I’m not French and haven’t seen this variation but in and of itself this would be a stupid indicator of AI.

Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months ago
On the “Europeans” side that’s at least 2 decades out of date.
The expresso coffee part is still true in a good part of Europe, but pretty much everywhere in it nowadays only a small fraction of people smoke and even those who do can’t actually do it inside a coffee shop because they’re not allowed to smoke there anymore, which spoils a great deal of the enjoyment of having a morning coffee.
Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 5 months ago
I live in Germany and work with Turks, Poles, Ukrainians, Romanians, a Greek and a Slovenian. This meme is accurate for all of us. Weekends are a different story of course but in my experience this is indeed the true business day continental breakfast.
zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Is it? I was just in London a couple months ago, the amount of people smoking and vaping there was honestly shocking.
echodot@feddit.uk 5 months ago
I grew up in the 1980s and trust me it’s a microscopic fraction of what it used to be. You used to be able to cut blocks out of the air. If you sat at the back of a cinema you would be lucky if you were able to see the screen through all the haze. That’s all gone now.
Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months ago
As a fraction of the total it’s still a small percentage, unless things changed a lot in the 5 years since I moved out of there.
ThirdConsul@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
While we’re shitting on breakfast culture in Europe I think that Italians have the worst. They have messed up daily rhythm (siesta and then dinner late in the evening)… Actually no, that’s not an excuse. They have garbage breakfast culture, period.
Literally everyone else’s breakfasts are awesome.
silasmariner@programming.dev 5 months ago
Siesta is barely a thing in Italy any more unless you’re like 70+ and rural lol. But a brioche stuffed with ice-cream is the king of breakfasts what are you on about

WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
I haven’t smoked in 8 years- and every morning when I have my coffee I STILL think, “fuck, a cigarette would elevate this whole experience just right.”
ayyy@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
It’s a culture that doesn’t eat any damn vegetables, so they need weapons-grade stimulants to get anything out in the morning.

Former smoker here. The flavor combo is amazing, and both act as stimulants, and I could get my fix for both addictions in one go.

Then you have clearly done something wrong, just this morning as I stepped out the train at 5 there was a guy with blue collar clothes, cigarette + energy drink. Fast forward one hour and saw a construction worker with a large coffee, cigarette and croissant. This was in rural Switzerland, but I think its even more common in the cities.

Coffee and sweat pastry, or Coffee is something I commonly saw in Italy (and only Italy)
Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months ago
In my experience that very much depends on the part of Europe you’re in: the “expresso in the morning” thing is mostly common in Southern Europe and France and back in the day when smoking was much more common and was actually allowed indoors in public venues, people having a ciggy and a morning coffee at a cafe was a pretty common sight.
Places in Europe without the whole tradition of coffee places serving expressos never really had this kind of “breakfast”.
bstix@feddit.dk 5 months ago
I know it as Greek Breakfast.
It can be enjoyed anywhere or any time, but it’s best served on a balcony in underwear. Greece happens to be a good place to get it in the morning all year round.

It’s actually a really healthy breakfast because coffee has a lot of physical health benefits and both coffee and a cigarette help against a mental breakdown when you wake up and realize how fucked the world is.

Drugs are not food, and with the exception for a few countires, drugs are pretty universal. Not eating anything for breakfast can actually be a healthier choice han doing so.
