Mildly Interesting

Well, fasting is not for everyone. Female biology often benefits from regular eating (small quantities), for example. People with gastritis, with PMOS, diabetes, etc. may find fasting hard. Intuitive eating is interesting, but people may have a problem confusing 'intuition' with 'body signals' that are not great; for example, if I were to intuitively eat while on ADHD medication, I'd eat nothing, and the opposite for bad days, I'd feel that my body is 'naturally' asking me for extra food.

So, while I agree that we should be brave to change the three meals a day if it isn't for us, I'd recommend getting enough information and medical advice before changing anything.

"Stop eating for pleasure" is BS, too. We shouldn't overindulge, but we need to find food appealing in order to stick with our personalized diet. These messages about food and eating being 'a problem' are not good for people in risk of developing an eating disorder...

i haven't had 3 meals in a day in years

i eat when i feel like it, which is more like 1 meal plus a few snacks per day

IT'S STARTED. THE POWERS THAT BE ARE PREPARING THEIR "JUST DON'T EAT, CITIZEN" PROPAGANDA BEFORE THE COLLAPSE OF THE GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN.

Do what you need for your body to function properly. If that's the 3 meals a day deal then fine. If you eat small items throughout the day to maintain energy levels for health reasons or because that's how your body operates best is fine as well. We are seriously hitched up on this stupid concept of "normality" in society.

What about a second breakfast?

3 meals a day are fine. So are two meals a day or five. That was precisely MFK Fisher's point, paraphrased in the article's introduction. What you eat and how much are far the more important concerns.

We? 3 meals a day is warranted for manual labor-heavy jobs (like farmer, construction). I, in IT&tech, eat breakfast, maybe a snack if it's long inbetween and cook something at evening.

Brave of you to assume we all eat 3 a day.

Is this a bunch of bots or does nobody else have blood sugar.

ADHD, I usually eat when i get the shakes.

I just eat whenever I feel hungry on no particular schedule. It is 6:43 PM where I am at and I only ate two hard-boiled eggs ten minutes ago all day. Lololol.

I usually do 2 (and sometimes a snack) between ~11 and ~17 unless I know I'm going to be doing a lot of physical work on that day or won't be able to eat a real meal at a normal time. I have noticed no ill effects from doing this for years at this point.
