    Why is 3 meals a day the goal? I thought the ‘breakfest is the most important meal of the day’ was just a commercial series. I usually don’t have time for breakfast and I don’t really feel like I’m missing anything.

        The article kinda conflicts the two. It talks about financial situation, but then it just asks “Do you eat three meals a day?”, and doesn’t ask you to clarify why. I for example can describe my financial situation as precarious, as they want me to do in the article, but it doesn’t mean I can’t afford food.

      I like the summary on Wikipedia:

      Present professional opinion is largely in favor of eating breakfast,[62] but skipping breakfast might be better than eating unhealthy foods.[71]

      I.e. you should eat breakfast, if possible, but not any product sold as a breakfast product.

      I was taught to eat four meals a day so you people talking about two or even one meal a day seems crazy

        Raised on a farm? Mom had that where they’d do breakfast, lunch, dinner, and supper. But they were working off a whole lot more calories than I am.
