The bigger problem I see with Jay’s statement as it is conceived here is that while there are differences from one individual to another, the commonalities definitely outweigh them by far. Otherwise, what sense would research with regard to any aspect of the human body make?
Yes, commonalities outweigh differences “by far,” ON AVERAGE. Maybe “skinnybarstard” is an outlier --i.e., a statistical anomaly. You don’t know otherwise.
Regardless, skinnybarstard, I stand by my original advice. Eat a big breakfast or don’t, depending on how doing so makes you feel. Don’t, however, let someone tell you you’re a “pussy”* (to use Professor X’s impoverished vocabulary) for not following their absolutist, anonymous advice.
*In fairness to the Professor, he was referring to me with this statement. I hereby admit to disliking lethargy, and that I am an adequate human being for holding this belief. I don’t deserve to live!
I still fail to see why a big breakfast would be bad for anyone…
First of all, if the supposed negative consecutions, whatever they may be, only occur with statistical anomalies, why mention it here without having any knowledge about the OP? More likely than not, following your advice would prevent him from reaping the maximal benefits from his nutrition program because some outlandish anomaly could occur. Besides, what exactly would this anomaly be? How would it manifest? Is this just about feeling lethargic?
That being said, even if a large breakfast made someone feel lethargic, this condition obviously would only persist temporarily. One well known commonality of the human body of virtually all individuals is its capacity to adjust to various stimuli. Why shouldn’t a person’s body be able to adjust to an increased food intake?
I’ve heard of cases where a higher protein and/or food intake in general temporarily lead to bloating, slight discomfort, a lethargic feeling if you wish, but never have I heard of this condition continuing for a significant period of time. It just boils down to the question if you are willing to risk feeling “indisposed” for a short period of time to make the best progress possible. Absolutist? Judge for yourself… [/quote]
Would I still eat a big breakfast if I was trying to loss bodyfat? I have been eating all of my meals at about the same (proteins, fats etc) and my snacks as well. Should I eat more in the morning and less at night?
Thanks in advance
