What is breakfast, really?

[Anonymous]

I get up at 5:30am, and I have my first coffee with vanilla soy milk at 6am. I have my 2nd one at 7:30am. I have a banana at 8am. I have a smoothie at 10:30am. Which one is considered breakfast?

Some would say your first coffee. I would say the banana. Although maybe coffee, since your soy milk adds calories. Breakfast just means "break (your night time) fast.

It doesn't matter.

Since you are "breaking the fast" with the coffee and milk- that would be it. This would also be true with any types of religious fasting.

OP here. I always wonder what people mean when they say they eat "an egg and some xxx for breakfast." I mean, is that all at once? The minute you get up, or 3 hours later? Do you eat it at work or do you sit down at the table at home?

I eat everything separately, as above in the original post, and it lasts all morning long.
Tehn, my lunch is a salad from 1:30-2. My dinner is a small whatever at about 7. I eat a snack such as an apple around 5pm.

So how do folks define their meals when they discuss on here what they eat to stay healthy?

Oh for god sakes, you know what breakfast is. It's not dinner and it's not lunch, it's that early morning food you eat.

Give it up Op. You're splitting hairs.

...and stop drinking your calories with a 1030am smoothie if you're trying to lose weight for starters.

I have a three-part breakfast. Protein shake right after the workout. Oatmeal or grits with chia when I get to work. Greek yogurt with berries mixed in maybe half an hour later.

They're all breakfast.

OP here. That makes sense. I guess i have a 5-hour breakfast, 6am -11am. I would never be able to do that intermittent fasting routine. I eat from 6am til about 8pm.

Stop drinking a yogurt and fruit and spinach smoothie? Why?
