Now it's "eat a big breakfast to lose weight"...

Now that I'm not working in the timber anymore, I just can't manage to eat much more than about 3000 calories in a day. 

Still 5-10 and about 150 lbs, BTW

Heck, there was a time not long ago that I would eat 3000 calories in one meal.  Of course I was also 5'10" and 275 lbs.

I remember the Hurricanes players eating breakfast at UM. Especially the linebackers and such. Six eggs, three steaks...

I have been hearing the "eat a big breakfast" thing for some time now. Maybe I should give it a whirl.

As it is now, I only eat breakfast Saturday and Sunday. Same thing, each day, a sausage breakfast burrito with green chile and a 16 ounce coffee. The burrito would probably amount to one sausage patty, one scrambled egg, hash browns, and a small tortilla.

Lunch is usually baked fish and a vegetable or some lean meat/vegetable or a chef's salad w/ homemade dressing. (Today was a small piece of fried cod, mashed taters, and peas/carrots mix.)

Dinner and later is where I tend to go overboard, especially when kiddo is around. Last week I made a big pan of salmon/shrimp stir fry. Ate a reasonable amount, and put the rest in the refrigerator.

Next morning, it was all gone. I have found I get up in the middle of the night and eat stuff and don't even remember it the next morning.

It's always been the case that you should never skip breakfast. Your body assumes there's no food available (starvation mode) and keeps your metabolism very sluggish if you start your day without eating.

We're still biologically hunter-gatherers. They're working on turning off the gene that stores food, period, which would eliminate excess food being stored as fat, particular about the middle. They're quite close, apparently.

And then there's the recent story about a guy who just lost 82 pounds (or was it 89 pounds) eating exclusively at McDonald's.

And, of course, who can forget Jared, who lost 13,482 pounds eating strictly at Subway?

I think the underlying message is: Eat fewer calories than you burn.

The headline didn't mention the subject of the article, that he did so eating salads and wraps, presumably without the 600 calorie dressing.

I have been having the same breakfast for 40 years now.  Pot of coffee and a sweet roll.  Weigh within 10 pounds of what I did 40 years ago.  HMMM I must be doing something wrong.

And choose wisely....skip the fries and pies and go for the apples and yogurt.....and no cheese on the burgers (if you call that yellow, melty, tasteless stuff cheese)....
