Anybody want nutrition advice? I'll try to help you out
(lemmygrad.ml)
How many meals do you eat and at what times?
Only lunch and dinner. For a long time I only ate dinner, but I stopped that and I've never been a breakfast person either way lol.
People always look at me funny as if I'm gonna drop dead any second when I tell them I don't eat breakfast but sometimes fasting for a week or so (only eating dinner, staying at around 1kcal a day) actually makes me feel better.
Realistically you should eat when you feel like it.
As for times it depends on when I wake up lol
Eating breakfast is a good choice as you're more insulin sensitive in the morning. It's best for most people to eat a big breakfast, a big lunch, and a small dinner ideally around 6 pm, and do some physical activity after each big meal and again in the evening.
The mechanism is true, but from what I've researched it doesn't really have any major benefit. The best benefit (to a healthy person) is it might prevent energy crashes later on in the day. But generally as an adult you can eat whenever you feel like it anyway 😁
I want to say that this might help with pre-diabetes, but I also don't want to give this as medical advice. If you have pre-diabetes definitely get a second opinion.
I wage a protracted people's war against breakfast because it's been hyped up as the "most important meal of the day" only because of a Kellogg's ad campaign and I feel like there's been post-hoc justifications to try and twist the saying to be true. Like all the benefits (supposed or otherwise) of breakfast people give me I usually find they're not that great or were misinterpreted... but of course I try to keep an open mind.
What would be a good read to start to understand human nutrition?
Should I start reading some introduction to biochemistry? Or is there something more accessible I should try first?
https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Essay:A_nutrition_and_fitness_guide def this guide but I'm biased. Also I like healthline.com but make sure to only read the articles checked by Doctors and backed by sources.
Thanks. Seems a general overview... I will take a look.
