That’s silly. If you took your typical lunch and dinner and moved those meals to breakfast and lunch you would be in the same boat and saying that dinner is what screws people up.

It’s also been my understanding that eating breakfast helps jumpstart your metabolism.
But of course just like other meals, what you eat is the important part. You can’t convince me that a banana and cup of Greek yogurt with some granola on top is preventing people from losing weight.

“ because I feel like I cannot waste anything and don’t want to throw food away”
There’s no rule that says you have to finish your plate. Put it in the fridge and finish off later.

My post was just addressing the idea that eating “healthy” is cheaper. It’s not, especially if one is trying to cut carbs.
Optimally, all fresh vegetables and stuff is best, but you can do pretty well with plain canned vegetables too and they are cheap. So are fresh Carrots, celery, cabbage and onions.
We made a big pot of Vegetable/pork soup(maybe more of a stew) last night for about 5 bucks. There are 3 of us, and we finished it off tonight for supper. It was really tasty with some rice.

Too many people have no problem shelling out good money for a more expensive vehicle than they need, vacations, gadgets, toys, streaming services or whatever, but balk at paying more for what they put into their bodies.
What no one on the OT Baller forum wants to say, but money. To get higher quality foods with good protein to calories ratios that don't taste like dog food....well, that stuff costs a pretty penny.
A lot of people wouldn't dream of putting less than 93 in their vehicle but will happily shovel down fast food multiple times a week.
If you truly are living a desperate bare bones existence I can buy the "too expensive" excuse. If you're not your priorities are fricked up.

The difference is that breakfast is touted as compulsory because "it's the most important meal of the day" and "it jump-starts your metabolism!" So whether people are hungry or not, they feel compelled to put down a few hundred calories, or more, right at the start of the day. Then they wonder why their metabolism hasn't been "jump-started".
No rational person eats dinner thinking it's going to help them lose weight. Otherwise rational people eat breakfast thinking it's going to help them lose weight.
ETA: To the other poster, while it isn't really helping, no, Greek yogurt, granola, and a banana isn't really keeping people from losing weight. What percentage of the overweight US population would you say has that, and only that, for breakfast each day? Yet, in their minds, their breakfast "helps".

That I got out of the habit of exercising and eating right. In college I got into a really good habit my senior year and kept it going for 2 years, but my last year in grad school where all my workout group moved away and I had nobody else holding me accountable I let it slip.
I’ve never gotten back into it.

For me, work lunches.
I get taken out to nice lunches by consultants/contractors atleast 2-3x per week. And yes, I could get a salad. But I’m not. I’m going to get the ribeye.
Now I’m not overweight (6’2” 195), but that is the thing that is keeping me from being 185 with a 6 pack like I was 10 years ago.

I take high profile clients to lunch all the time. Not one has ever ordered a ribeye. It’s lunch.
