Question:

Are there any professionals out there who know the history of eating 3 times a day?


Answers:

The concept of eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner has been deeply ingrained into our minds for years. In old times, people had breakfast as soon as they woke up. Since most of the work was done in the fields, noon was the time to look for shade and rest a little, and eat to regain energy for the afternoon labour. Dinner was served when men came back home from the fields, at night. Eventually it turned into something customary.
The lack of facilities to take food along with them made it easier to stick to the customary 3 meals a day.
Now, with more information and research available we know it is not necessary to eat 3 hearty meals every 8 hours, but 5 smaller meals every 3 1/2 hours.
