For a long time I never had anything when waking up except coffee. I always felt nauseous if I ate too soon after getting up. Since I cut down on drinking a lot though lol, I like having a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast. And the obligatory coffee, of course. and cigarette When I was a kid I was a huge fan of cereal. Toast I love, but it’s always been a late night thing for me, for some reason. And I love really badly burnt and charred toast.
However, in the oft instances that I have had big breakfasts, I agree with you. Nothing like greasy bacon, fat sausages, eggs, a buncha hasbrown and orange juice to make you feel good.
As I understand it, pioneers who colonized North America started their day with breakfasts so fucking huge that it makes the modern traditional dinner look like bullshit. This was because you needed all that energy to go out and work like a madman. Their lunch was a little smaller, and their dinner even smaller than the first two meals. (if I’m not mistaken) You don’t need that much energy to sleep, and in fact, to get a good night’s proper sleep, the less food your body has to digest, the better rest you get. Apparently, super awesome badass Kung Fu masters won’t even drink a drop of water two hours before sleep.
We’re doing it all ass backwards right now. Then again, times have long changed and while a big breakfast is healthy, it’s probably only healthy so much if you spend your day burning the calories. If you sit in an office all day or something, I’d say you have the right idea. What you list is healthy, and not too big. I think it really depends on what you do with your day though, because breakfast primarily provides a big part of the energy you’re gonna be using for it. (or not using)
I worked as a waitress for a long time, and going to work without eating really sucks when you’re walking around all day, rushing to and fro and smelling food constantly lmao. even if half those places were bars, but still
