Hell, I *wish* they had breakfast steaks!!

Usually some bacon, an egg white scramble with cheese/mushroom/onion and a bowl of raisin bran...

It's called "The Reverse Diet" and it is VERY successful.

Heard about it on a nutrition channel and did a little study into it back when I was in school. Take a look at Tricia Cunninham's story on the above web page for example.

My personal experience was that I studied better and clearer, slept better, and was in excellent shape when I subscribed to this style of eating.

My motto was "eat for what you are about to do". In other words, eat a large healthy breakfast because you are entering the active part of your day. Eat a light supper (evening meal) by 6pm as you are entering the quiet time of the day. You're sleeping in a few hours, where the body doesn't need all those calories.

Food for thought.

I like that concept. I've been trying (though not always succeeding) to eat earlier in the evening and stop (no snacks after dinner). I need to get back into having a lighter meal in the evenings - I had good energy at the gym tonight after the oatmeal/yogurt dinner - I think because it was so light. (So, for those of you who voted "go to the gym already" :P:P)

At the other end of my day - I always eat a good-sized breakfast; I'm useless without real food in the morning.

I rarely ever eat breakfast so about the only time I get breakfast foods is if I have them for dinner.



Oh my gosh, I wake up STARVING all the time.:D

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. It's also my favorite time of day.

I love a veggie omelet for dinner, though. Bagels are always for breakfast. I love bagels.B|

Sometimes I'll fix a full breakfast for dinner - eggs over medium, toast with jelly, heaping portion of bacon and grits. :)

I have this wierd thing about dinner being the end of my day. If I have shit to do, it's gotta get done before dinner, cuz after I eat, I'm relaxing. With as much as I've had to do lately, this can't be particularly healthy. Last night was a blue cheese smothered tri-tip roast for dinner at 10:30 so I could go to bed a little after 11:00. The night before was BBQ tri-tip bits at 11:30 & bed at midnight. Monday was Applebee's take-out a little after 10 & bed by 11:00. Notice a pattern? :S:D
