Have you ever stopped to think about how contradictory it is that we’re always told breakfast is the most important meal of the day, yet it’s completely acceptable to indulge in dessert for that meal? 🤔 It’s a thought that has crossed many of our minds at some point, prompting us to question conventional wisdom and our everyday food choices.
The Breakfast Debate
We’ve all heard the saying “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” countless times. It’s ingrained in our minds as a non-negotiable part of our daily routine. But why is this meal put on a pedestal above all others?
According to health experts, breakfast kickstarts our metabolism, provides essential nutrients to fuel our day, and helps us maintain a healthy weight. These are all valid points, but does that mean we need to stick to traditional breakfast foods like eggs, oatmeal, and fruit?
Dessert for Breakfast?
On the other hand, dessert is typically associated with indulgence and treats saved for special occasions. However, who’s to say that a slice of cake or a cookie can’t be a part of a balanced breakfast? After all, it’s all about moderation and listening to your cravings.
In fact, some studies suggest that a small indulgence in the morning can actually boost your mood and productivity throughout the day. So, why not start your day with a sweet treat if that’s what your body is craving?
Finding Balance
Ultimately, the key is finding a balance that works for you. If you’re someone who thrives on a hearty breakfast of eggs and vegetables, that’s great! But if you find yourself yearning for a muffin or some pancakes in the morning, there’s no harm in giving in to that craving every once in a while.
Remember, it’s all about listening to your body and honoring what it needs in the moment. Whether that means a wholesome breakfast or a decadent dessert, trust yourself to make the right choice for your well-being.
In conclusion, the age-old debate of breakfast versus dessert will continue to spark conversations and contemplation. While both have their merits and drawbacks, the most important thing is to approach your food choices with mindfulness and enjoyment. So go ahead, enjoy that dessert for breakfast every now and then – you deserve it! 🍰
> breakfast is the most important meal
Propaganda from Dr. Kellogg
But dessert **is** important and could qualify as the most important meal of the day for some.
I can have a chocolate sundae for breakfast and everyone will think that’s perfectly fine?
1) that was a marketing campaign that worked very well.
2) it’s not acceptable at all to anyone who cares about nutrition.
Breakfast is “breaking the fast”, essentially when you sleep at night you are fasting, going without food. No matter what the very first thing you eat to break that fast is breakfast. So eating a meal at all (breakfast) is the most important meal of the day.
Is it my turn to post this exactly word for word next week?
This drives me crazy. Just because you put the word “pan” in front of it, does not mean that you aren’t eating cake for breakfast.
I say it’s more like it’s surprising a lot of breakfast foods aren’t considered desserts. Like cereal and things like maple syrup/jams probably have a lot more sugars in them than standard components of later meals.
It’s about getting calories to jump start your flesh engine for the day. That’s why there’s a saying if “eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a peasant (or whatever)”
Breakfast gets your day started and gives you the fuel to make it to lunch or so. Lunch gets you the fuel to make it thriugh the rest of the day. Dinner you don’t actually need to eat much. Physically you won’t be doing much for what little time you have left awake and even less when asleep.
This is partially why Americans are rather large. Sitting on 1k+ calory dinners all night long
That’s just marketing trying to get you to buy breakfast food.
I have been eating breakfast maybe 1/5th of the time lately and honestly feel better.
I dont feel like im over eating at lunch ever and have noticed no decrease in energy or awareness.
Just my 2 cents.
It’s a slogan not a scientifically backed statement
It is 100¢ not the most important
Advertising isn’t “everyone says”, they’re trying to change what everyone does to sell something.
“breakfast foods” are a scam. Who decided what you can eat and when?
Who the fuck out here eating dessert for breakfast? If I had that much sugar at breakfast I think I’d vomit
Not everyone. I don’t even eat it 90% of the time.
That’s big breakfast propaganda.
Who eats dessert for breakfast? It is unthinkable for me.
Carbs and sugar give you energy. If you live an active lifestyle there’s nothing wrong with having a doughnut for breakfast to give you some energy, as long as you make up for it by eating more protein after finishing your exercise or manual labour. If you work in an office and don’t exercise then you definitely shouldn’t.
Where do you live? Dessert is certainly not an acceptable breakfast where I live.
It’s also completely acceptable and no problem at all to cut out breakfast completely, even recommended in some situations. What gives, right?
Also, keep in mind that sweet breakfast is by far the most unhealthy way you can start the day.
Because people will say anything to justify their biases. Plus it just shows how easily manipulated we are by companies.
Only the most important one can get away with that.
there is a lot of crap which we think is correct and normal but is really just a result of some sales campaign
Completely acceptable? No it isn’t.
Ahh, Special K propaganda
Pancakes, waffles, French toast, cereal, bacon, sausage,! Yeah, most breakfast foods are either sugar or salt bombs, hell we even salt and fry the shit out of potatoes to make hash browns. Honestly the only widely accepted “good for you” breakfast food is eggs and that’s still debatable with the amount of butter people put into it
All that’s being said I love everything on that list and I’m okay with not making it past the age of 40
If advertising propaganda = “everyone says”, you really need to reevaluate where you get your “common knowledge” from.
Breakfast just means breaking the fast – the timing, not the contents! Same for dessert, it’s after a meal. Imho
That’s propaganda to sell cereal
It’s super important to break your fast from the nights sleep. Not for the reasons kellog wants you to think, but because your body only stores enough energy for 8 hours of use from foods. So if you ate at 6pm, went to sleep at 9pm, and woke up at 5-6am your body has run out of stored energy from your last meal and you will feel under pains as a signal to let you know you need to eat something soon because your body has started converting stores of fat into energy and that’s not really efficient
Ironic that Europeans frequently scoff at what Americans eat for breakfast (sugary breakfast cereals, donuts). Then you go to France or Italy and realize they eat chocolate filled or Nutella filled croissants for breakfast and sometimes some kind of mocha drink.
…dessert’s a very important meal as well.
It IS the most important meal because that’s when you Break Fast. But western culture has manipulated people into thinking the important part of it is the actual eating part rather than the quality of what you eat. It’s the first thing you’re eating after a typically 8-14 hour fast and sets the tone for the rest of the day. People have gotten brainwashed into putting regular gasoline instead of premium unleaded into a Lamborghini
Easily by far Breakfast is the least important, in fact, most detrimental meal of the day by far and its not even close. Do not eat breakfast. It literally stops your cells from repairing.
What kind of dessert are you eating for breakfast?
The propaganda machine strikes again.
Its funny how everyone has the same thoughts in the shower. To bad nobody has the shower thought to see how many times the same thing gets posted.
