re: You don't need breakfast, America

Sugar is virtually impossible to avoid even with traditional “healthy” food items like fruits and veggies, carbs as well (which you also need)
If you eat the appropriate amounts of protein, carbs, and fat…you will be getting sugar
If you mean sugar is not required to be supplemental, then yes
I would say in most instances it’s better to skip lunch than breakfast, a healthy breakfast will kick start your metabolism for the day. Maybe have a light lunch snack then a meal again for dinner. Maybe mix in some light protein snacks throughout the day

Humans do not need to consume carbohydrates in any manner shape or form for any reason.
If you don’t believe that, then this will really blow your mind:
we don’t need plants in our diet either.
Plants are simply a subsistence food. Thankfully, we do not live in a subsistence world.
I know that’s going to be hard to wrap your mind around, but there is no proof that our body needs us to consume plants from a metabolic standpoint of being as healthy as we can be.

Generally I agree but it doesn’t really matter as long as you count your calories and eat what you need for your personal goals

No evidence huh
No evidence of plants and fruits providing large amounts of vitamins, minerals, fiber, anti-oxidants
No links to lower instances of high blood pressure, lower cholesterol, lower inflammation, lower chances of heart disease in diets that include vegetables? Can these be supplemented by less efficient or ideal means, sure to some degree
So of course there is evidence
The fact that you say there is literally “no evidence” so confidentially with anything that comes to food seems a bit odd to me, as diet may be one of the most diverse and opinionated realms of modern science when it comes to evidence

I don't need anyone to tell me what my body needs. I don't eat a big breakfast at all, but I like to have something because can't function on an empty stomach.
I like to have lunch early... 11ish. Not a lot, I don't want to go into a food coma. Around 3ish I like a small snack. For dinner I like to eat around 6ish. I don't eat big meals and I like to be on a schedule. Its just a habit I had since a kid, I was always told if you have a food schedule you can better manage what you eat and to never put too much on your plate. You can always go back for seconds, you can't put it back if you are full before eating it all.
"don't let your eyes be bigger than your stomach".
Again, while I don't eat a big breakfast, I can have whatever the frick I want. For me, on a rare occasion I have a big breakfast I usually skip dinner. Everyone's body is different. The key is healthy habits not telling people what they can or cant do.

You know what’s a calorie free alternative for breakfast in the morning? Your mudda’s bukyak.

You don’t need any of that to thrive.
You eat fiber to control carb metabolism because ingesting carbs is harmful. So don’t consume carbs and you don’t need fiber.
Plants are subsistence food. Plants have toxins that we surely don’t need. So why consume them from a metabolic health perspective?
Humans in our current form have been around for about 300,000 years thriving throughout the ice age and more by following the herd. It’s only in the last 10,000 years that we had to start eating plants to feed the population masses. Humans thrived and were at peak health before the introduction of crops.
The archaeological record paints a dim picture showing the decline of our health once we started eating large amounts of plants.
I’m not trying to take away your candy. I’m just telling you you’d be healthier without it.

A calorie is a thermal unit. A food calorie was measured burning (a flame, not, repeat not) a body function) to take down that food item. To burn a simple sugar or fructose doesn't have a lot of bonds to break and faster consumption.as well. To burn a complex protein is a whole different take down, and it's not a burn it's a conversion to other usable things on a cellular level..

Humans have been developing their diets and cooking methods for literally thousands and thousands of years. We have more evidence on the benefits and harms of certain foods than we ever have in history. You are suggesting there is no need to change our diets from a period of thousands and thousands of years ago in a time period of short lifespans (for a variety of reasons) and no actual medical or scientific history and in a period where humans were developmentally different than we are today (at lot of that has to do with diet). You do not need to eat how your human ancestors ate 100,000 years ago. You live a different lifestyle and you are physically developmentally different. Your physiology is different
Why not just live exactly how we did 100,000 years ago and ignore thousands of years of gained human knowledge and scientific and medical advancement, I’m sure our life spans would not shrink at all because how could we ever improve what we were doing 100000 years ago?
What evidence do you have that humans lived healthier better lives 300,000-10,000 years ago other than their shorter lifespans? (Again for a variety of reason)

I like to start my day with 2 eggs, grits toast and sometimes fruit with a cup of coffee.

Hey dude, I’m not here to take away your candy so you just go ahead and follow the crowd to a shorter lifespan and even shorter Healthspan. Hell you might even live to be 80 with a health span of maybe 60 years if you’re lucky.
All of the knowledge you need to know about nutrition and your metabolic health is very easily obtained. The research is there. Studies have been published. You can view the data for yourself. I have.
Here’s a hint: it’s not gonna be found in the mainstream media.
Good luck to you.

Yes I respect your opinion. That everything we need to know about health and diet was learned a couple hundred millennia ago, you’ve unlocked the key to a longer lifespan by following our human ancestors with lifespans of about 30 years old
While you’re at it, might as well get rid of all your modern amenities like vehicles, air conditioners, doctors. Our human ancestors didn’t need those to live to 30 so why would you need them

I’m not sure about red herrings and if they’re an actual food you can eat, but I do know that herring is an excellent source of nutrition, along with sardines and mackerel.
You should include them in your nutrition plan if you have one.
However, you should leave red herrings out of your argument as they are a clear sign that you’ve lost the argument.
It’s OK, most people have been trained to think like you do and are going to be sympathetic to you.

Bananas have very little nutritional value outside of potassium and yogurt unless it is greek is loaded with sugar. Most people are better off fasting until lunch and then stop eating around 8 pm. If you can do that while avoiding most processed sugars then you will absolutely maintain a healthy weight and it’s pretty easy to do

There’s a lot of reasonable middle ground between these two options.
You don’t just need food for physical activity. Eating helps with brain function as well.
Skipping meals can have negative effects on things such as concentration, mood, and cognition.

I like breakfast on the weekends Fri/Sat - bacon / eggs.
I only eat on Fri, Sat, & Tuesday so the breakfasts aren’t hurting me. Looking forward to eating breakfast on Tuesday also once I’m retired.

I am a big advocate of intermittent fasting. I've grafually lost around 40 lbs over the course of 5 years by simply skipping breakfast most days of the week.
I do have at least one cheat day a week where I'll grab donuts or Waffle House for my kids though.
