Breakfast not Your Most Important Meal

Eat a big breakfast. Get your Metabolism going. Be less hungry throughout the day. (Bogus!)

The idea is that you will eat in the form of a right triangle. Biggest meal to smallest. Is that really how anyone eats? Is it how you eat? No!

Most people eat in a straight line averaging 800-1500 calories each meal. (including beverages)

You've heard of the Food Pyramid & My Pyramid eating. Their made to make eating simple, but I doubt anyone really remembers their contents except nutritionist. Here's an easier one.

Pyramid Eating.
-Breakfast small. You only need enough fuel to get you to lunch. Too much is extra weight. Unless your a lumberjack using hand tools you only need a few calories at this time.

-Lunch top the Pyramid. Here is your most active part of the day, fuel it. You have 4-6 hours to dinner. Eat now and smaller later. The best points here is that you usually have better self control at this time. Also lunch menus are cheaper! If you take your lunch you usually make better choices.

-Dinner at the bottom: next job is sleep. Here you don't need a lot if energy. In fact you don't want a lot of food or energy if you ate well at lunch. Try to eat 4 hours before bed.

Ideally you will snack after breakfast and lunch. This way of eating gives you fuel when you need it not when you don't.
