Most Important Meal of the Day?

[Badgers]

Well? Which is it?

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Whichever one works best for you.

 

[maomao]

Breakfast, even though I tend to have the same thing every day for months or even years in a row (usually involving some kind of porridge and eggs). I think mainly because I wake up before anyone in the house and I get to have it in peace and quiet.

Worst is lunch; I can rarely summon any enthusiasm and if I have a good one then it means I'll have eaten far too much that day.

porridge and eggs

together??

 

[Pickman's model]

the most important meal is always the next meal

Amazing how Kelloggs’ advertising schtick still has so much purchase after more than a century.

I trust everyone’s sexual urges have been adequately quelled.

 

[maomao]

together??

Yes. Oat porridge with boiled eggs; corn porridge with fried eggs or millet porridge with steamed egg custard.

 

[Badgers]

Whichever one works best for you.

Get off the fence

Oat porridge with boiled eggs

how do you serve this? Boiled eggs shelled and popped into the porridge at the end, or in an egg-cup on the side?

In a little plastic Peppa Pig bowl with shells on to be shelled and eaten as I go.

I often don't have breakfast , just don't feel hungry early doors on a work day. Lunch is usually a sarnie , so tea/supper/dinner is the big one for me .

 

[Ms Ordinary]

Breakfast, by which I mean on a work day I eat solidly from about 10am to 3pm-ish, helps that my desk is within eyeline of the fridge & microwave - and next to the table where everyone sits to eat their lunch.

 

[Stig]

Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day and the one I often spend the most time on.

I know what's happening for breakfast. I keep in a stock of finest artisanal sourdough, cheeses, pate, cherry tomatoes, sprunions, homemade sardine mayo chili spread etc, and lay them all out on olivewood boards, stick the radio on, enjoy.

The rest of the day is leftovers, rushed stuff cobbled together, experiments, mistakes, who knows what could happen. but breakfast is a no-stress solid part of the day.

I don't really believe in the three square meals a day thing. I eat when I'm hungry, proportionate to my hunger. If I know I'm going out for a big meal, I'll eat light or not at all before. If its the weekend, breakfast and lunch are almost always replaced by some form of brunch.

 

[moose]

I put Dinner, but meaning Tea, not actual dinner.

 

[xenon]

Depends.

No, really. Holiday mode, = breakfast. Rest of the time, Whenever I'm hungriest. 3 squares isn't usual for me.

you seem to have made this a private poll by mistake

I absolutely hate cereal and am very fond of shagging so maybe there's something in it.

Breakfast
Dinner
Tea

Tea being the most important.

 

[DotCommunist]

If I don't obey the rule of 3 good and square I will lapse back into not eating properly at all and lose weight and go sketch. Breakfast is the cornerstone, the foundations on which we build.

 

[Chilli.s]

my next one

 

[gentlegreen]

I eat most calories around 5pm, but breakfast puts the calories where they're needed - and coffee helps to make 500 kcals go a long way.
Lunch is my downfall, there's usually more than a little "comfort" about it ....

 

[Badgers]

I did a while eating huge breakfasts, medium lunches and small/salady dinners. Worked well but hard to fit in around work/life.

so nobody broke their fast before kellogs came along?

 

[Epona]

My eating schedule is all over the place when OH is on nights - sometimes breakfast is technically tea etc.

I can't wake up and eat right away though, have never been a breakfast person. I do like an FEB style brunch from time to time though, once I've had a chance to wake up a bit.

 

[Poot]

Definitely not the one i'm eating which is horrible. I'm going with second breakfast.

 

[Epona]

Just in addition to the above (because it occurred to me that I didn't actually answer the question!), usually for me the most important meal of the day is whichever one I have been planning and shopping for and am looking forward to cooking - usually that is tea just by default (or breakfast when OH is on nights and I am in a nocturnal phase - so still technically tea I suppose as it happens shortly before sleep rather than shortly after it if that makes any sense).

I sometimes only eat one meal a day.

 

[strung out]

Breakfast
Dinner
Tea

Tea being the most important.

When do you fit lunch in?

 

[Stig]

I couldn't possibly miss breakfast, but I don't necessarily have three meals per day either. I'll often skip dinner. Being a morning person, all my energy happens at the beginning and I often don't have the mental or physical energy left to create a meal at the arse end of the day, and don't see the point in fuelling sleep.

 

[Elpenor]

No option for supper
