Current Events > America is fat because of its obsession with Breakfast.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Or at least it plays a large part in the obesity problem.

Besides the U.K no other culture devours 800+ calories on the regular to start their days off.

Eggs, bacon, pancakes, cereal, sausage, hash browns. Yeah its all tasty as fuck but just ditch that shit unless you are counter actively working out soon after to actually get use of all those carbs and calories, otherwise you just get lazy after you est lunch becauae your stomach is almost full by that time.

I guarantee you if you eat around 200-400 calories for breakfast thru brunch and do miniml cardio a day you will lose weight slowly but surely.

It actually disgusts me when i go get coffee for breakfast and someone is ordering a platter + a soda at 9 am. Like save that shit for a full dinner meal or something
---

Today for breakfast I made sausage gravy on garlic toast with eggs scramble, arugula
---

Why are you getting coffee at a place that you can order a platter/soda?

McDonalds has decent coffee when theres no alternative around. The only places neqr my work are that, starbucks and taco bell
---

Breakfast has nothing to do with why I got fat.
---

what about the half gallon soda?

or the 500 calorie "coffee"?

or all the sweets and "i can't stop eating chocolate" crap
---

Imagine a world where you have to subject yourself to 8+ hours of work and you aren't allowed to start it off with some bomb ass bacon and pancakes
---

It's because of all of the sugar and carbs in all of our meals.

I only eat breakfast on the weekends. I don't have a meal until around 12:30. My breakfast is a cup of black coffee. I've felt better ever since I stopped eating so early tbh.
---

I don't eat breakfast. I eat about 500-600 cals for lunch and dinner and about 500 cals worth of snacks each day
---

Mmm breakfast

That's pretty excessive, even to my American mindset.

I usually have about 100 calories of cereal. And frankly that just makes me hungrier. On Saturdays, I'll go for three eggs, which is what I would consider a proper breakfast. I'd do it every day if I had the time for it. I do make the Breakfast Crunchwrap topics but that's like a once or twice a month thing.
---

This is one of the reasons I tend to skip breakfast altogether and enjoy it for lunch or dinner instead, otherwise, I'd be going well over the 2,000 recommended calorie intake.

y we hatin on eggs doe

People who are fat are fat because they don't exercise. Nowadays, you see people on all these weird fucked up "diets". They have a shake filled with grass clippings and wood chips and think "ohhh I did good with that!". Then when they go to the bathroom, their shit smells like the deepest darkest depths of hell so they get depressed. That's when they start to over eat and drink a lot of beer.

But in this whole process do they EVER leave the couch? Nope.
---

I'm not fat and I almost never eat breakfast so this must be true

But what about Second Breakfast?
---

Youre on to something, but not completely on the mark.

The issue is sugar. Its in basically every breakfast food, in large quantities. Calories and carbohydrates are good, since they give you energy. Sugar is bad and makes you fat and depressed.

Look at those Kashi type cereals that claim to be healthy because. Same amount of sugar as Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

No, it's because we have restaurants like this:

On the contrary most of the literature suggests you should eat a moderately sized breakfast, large lunch, and a small dinner

I forgot to add, Their quadrupal bypass burger has 20 strips of bacon on it and is 20,000 calories.

korean spicy chicken

tell me more about this

No, it's because of how much filler carbs are in so many of the foods there. Try eating greasy meat by itself. Now try eating it with bread. You can eat more with bread as it'll take longer for you to tire of the meal. The demonization of fat means tons of sugar and other filler carbs in order to achieve fat-free foods with some flavor. It's hard to feel full on carbs.

So does a full American breakfast. Steak, egg, bacon, toast, homefries, and flapjacks, with a glass of OJ.

I eat a fairly light breakfast of a bowl of cereal (either Corn Flakes, Cheerios, or Rice Krispies) and a banana. I also have a fairly physically active job, so I need the calories.

It depends on the type of carbs. Sugars wont fill you up. Complex carbs and fiber will.

I'm working heavy industrial construction as an electrician. I'm gonna have my breakfast

I sit at a desk for 8 hours a day in front of a computer, and I am going to eat my sausage and scrambled eggs with sourdough toast every morning goddamnit.

Fuck your anti breakfast shit

Last I heard was that too many people don't have a good breakfast and that's unhealthy. Now breakfast is bad?

...that's why he said "besides the UK" as in "the UK also devours 800+ calories on the regular to start their days off"

It's probably more because of the massive amounts of sugar and starch Americans consume.

They're not exactly loading their food with fiber.

This is correct. Big breakfast isn't the problem.

big Dinner then sleep is.

It's not just breakfast (which does play a role because the majority of the food eaten in most breakfast are high on calories) but the serving size in America are much bigger in general, especially in the fast food industry.

Nah dude, 20 strips of bacon is healthy if you eat it without the bun.

Haven't you read the NY Times article about how the sugar industry funded a scientist 80 years ago and it's still fooling all of today's top doctors and scientists? The Illuminati and the Bilderbergs are using the power of hot yoga and alpha brain supplements to continue to fool us into thinking fruits and vegetables are healthy while they run off with all the elk meat and coconut oil.

What time you eat has nothing to do with gaining fat.

Fiber is literally the most filling thing you can eat.
