Shanedorf Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 humans benefit by eating some breakfast from a metabolism POV, but we don't need the Grand Slam from Denny's Breaking your fast after 12 hours of foodlessness delivers the energy your brain needs to function at peak performance. And while we aren't doing the physical work of our farmer ancestors, its also worth noting that your brain consumes 60- 70 % of your blood glucose in a resting state. The brain does not have fuel storage capabilities, so it relies on a steady supply- and after 12 hours of fasting, its time for a boost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people snack or drink after dinner, get less than 8 hours of sleep and then eat breakfast. And that breakfast inst the slice of bread, or piece of fruit its should be, but usually a bowl of cereal, sugary oatmeal, or a full breakfast hiding between two buns. This is followed 3-4 hours later by a 1200-1500 calorie dump for lunch. Edited November 5, 2019 by animaltested 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's to banish the long work day that pushes people to increasingly unhealthy eating and sleeping cycles. I'm not a breakfast guy. But i like a nice breakfast, and a lot of people love it. Even i still need at least a little something something early in the morning to get things going. Even if it's just a lil' bit of yogurt and a banana or something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kinda true...but it's the weirdest way of dividing a family ever i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all have our game day favorites, but we also have foods we just can't get on board with, no matter how many people insist they are great. Here's my list. 1. Avocados. What is the modern fascination with these? They don't taste any better than they did five or ten years ago. Their texture hasn't improved. They are still bland and unappetizing. You guys can have all the avocados, I'll pass. 2. Bananas. Another mushy fruit I never developed a taste for, except in my grandmother's banana bread. I'll eat that all day long. 3. Bacon in desserts. Just no. Stop pretending these flavors go together. I love bacon in almost all forms, but not on my donuts or in my ice cream. 4. Sea salt with caramel. See third sentence of #3. 5. Pineapple on pizza. This will never work for me. Fun fact, the super sweet and delicious banana went extinct in 1950 because of a disease. The one we eat now isn't nearly as tasty, or so people say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
