I'm a little confused when it comes to eating "the most important meal of the day". I know its differnt for every person. How much eaten is based on: time, life-style, work, and other factors.
I've noticed that if I eat a lot for breakfast, I'm full the entire day or for most of it, sometimes skipping dinner because I've already eaten my fill. I've heard that's not good for the body, (skipping meals) but why eat if you're not hungry, right?
However, when I've had days where I'm a little hungry and only eat a bit for breakfast, I of course have room later for lunch and/or dinner, and sometimes that in-between snack. It's been stated that eating smaller meals more often is better because it boosts your metabolism and keeps it constantly moving through out the day.
So which is the best way?
I have time to wake up and make a "big, well-balanced breakfast" if that's the healthier route, but what if all I need is a small bowl of cereal and a glass of OJ or just some fruit with yogurt?
Is the "most important meal of the day" supposed to be big or small?
