This is interesting, since it is contrary to most mainstream dietetist's
advice: putting the emphasis on having a large breakfast, then having
lighter meals as the day goes on. Also the idea of NOT having a big meal in
the evening. I certainly never was able to live that way.
Anyway, the 3 square meals/day is obviously dictated by society mores more
than any real hunger pattern.
