Sama Hoole @SamaHoole - Nobody ate three square meals a day until a factory whistle told them to.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are a shift pattern dressed up as tradition. The rigid three-meal day took shape in the Industrial Revolution, when workers pouring into the cities needed feeding before the shift, on the midday break, and after clocking off. The Royal Navy ran the same timetable at sea. Then the cereal makers and the advertisers finished the job last century and sold the nation the line that breakfast was the most important meal of the day.
Go back further and the whole structure dissolves. The Romans thought it healthiest to eat one proper meal a day. Medieval Europeans and the Norse got by on two. Hunter-gatherers ate when there was food and went without when there was not, sometimes for days at a stretch. Feast, then fast. That rhythm is written into us far deeper than any timetable, because a body shaped by lean spells learned to run smoothly on its own fat between meals.
Two meals is the natural home for most people, and one trick makes it effortless. Stack each meal with fatty animal food. Eggs and butter, a ribeye, a pan of mince, oily fish, cheese. Hunger stops knocking at eleven and again at three, because protein and fat fill you and hold you. You stop grazing because there is nothing left to chase.
The snacking, the little and often, the breakfast forced down with no appetite, all of it came from a factory timetable and an advertising budget.
Eat twice. Eat richly. Then let your body do the thing it was built for, running calm and fuelled on good food and its own reserves until the next proper meal.
