Is breakfast ‘the most important meal of the day’?

For you younger folk, that was a common saying before the year 2000, before Instagram, TikTok, and Intermittent Fasting became popular.

The Big Picture 🖼

It depends, as usual.

Some people swear that intermittent fasting is the only way to go.

If I.F. or T.R.E. work for you, great!

However, many people:

  • Enjoy breakfast foods

  • Feel better when they eat breakfast

  • Are much more likely to adhere to a long-term plan that includes breakfast.

So, let’s look at some good options!

Explain It To Me Like I’m 5 👦

Today’s topic, as simply as possible:

“Breakfast is an important meal for many people, but not all.”

(My modern take on that phrase we grew up with 🙂 )

If Your Breakfast Needs An Upgrade 🧁

The truth is that many people grab a sugary coffee plus a pastry (or something similar) and repeat that every day (for years) because it’s easy.

But you can slowly ‘turn the dial’ one notch at a time on that.

A simple word, phrase, or thought to take with you:

If you’re really hungry in the morning or getting a headache later in the day, consider having breakfast. It won’t kill you.
