    Actually eating any food at any time is great. Have noodles for breakfast and cereal at 9pm

    I feel like dessert for breakfast is common around the world.

      It is. It’s the meal that fuels you for the longest time between meals. Look at the etymology: break fast. It’s the meal after the longest period without food. People who don’t get this have never experienced hunger and need to shut the fuck up

          Also simple sugar isn't good because it raises your blood sugar level very high very quickly and then by midday you experience a slump. You are better off eating something with complex sugars like bread or potato Or high protein like eggs cottage cheese or greek yogurt these will keep you full for a longer period of time because they take longer to digest.

          High sugary foods can be used as an afternoon snack to give you an extra burst of energy when you are absolutely exhausted and close to the finish line Also caffeine has a half life of 5-6 hours so if you have a cup of coffee early morning like 7am for example you will need another one by 2pm so if you are trying to limit your caffeine intake postpone your coffee till noon

          However if having pancakes works for you and are comfortable with it please disregard anything i said My intention isnt to belittle your own experience or opinion but i am adding to the discussion things that i read about.

    Fuck you I had a triple chocolate muffin for breakfast this morning. I'm an adult and I'll order whatever I want from Greggs in a rush.

    I only eat breakfast like once a month

    I deserve my occasional breakfast treats. And pancakes/waffles, with maple syrup and berries does slap, and I will not be convinced otherwise

      Explain please? How do you only have the first meal after sleep once a month? /sarcasm

      Fr tho lunch is my fave and I’ll fight over it. A nice solid break from work with lots of calories? It’s a mouth orgasm

        Hell yeah, I hear ya. And I guess I kind of have breakfast; I usually have a protein shake before work.

        But yeah, I love cooking, and usually cook big dinners, and pack leftovers for lunch the next day, along with some sides. Funny, working construction, and getting flack for my 5 section lunchbox, from guys who's lunch is a single sad sandwich, or just some McD's.

          They just jealous. You’re busy being awesome and taking care of yourself and they feel inadequate. Protein shake breakfast is the kinda thing chads do, I’d do it but I’m too busy drowning hangovers in grease and fat.

    It really is strange. Like, eat some bread, eat an apple or a banana, drink a glass of water and a cup of coffee. Not what is for most people a uncommon treat to enjoy once in a while. Guess Americans can't get enough of that HFCS

    fun fact:
    the american obsession with a very unhealthy breakfast can largely be traced back to one evil bastard

      They're about twice as thicc in Belgium and you can see chunky sugar crystals in them (or MDMA crystals if you're in the part of Belgium where everybody listens to gabber exclsuively and hasn't slept since 1993).

          i honestly don't know if these people are still alive, particularly not this one , but they're understandably a bit of a meme in my techno family. Although you don't have to go to Belgium to see these folx, there's a rave scene in about every European country that just hasn't stopped being completely crazy since the 90s.

        Belgium has different kinds of waffles, the ones you're describing with giant sugar crystals are called Liege waffles, shitty thin waffles without sugar crystals are Brussel waffles
