Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Many people I see tell methat the breakfast should be the most ambundant meal of the day, andthat it should be the biggest one. But I believe that just all themeals should be equal in size, so the body will get the same amountof food every certain time. Is there any reasonable explanation tothat?

Should breakfast be the biggest meal of the day?

No. The saying is NOT that it's the biggest - but that it's the most important. Buddies of mine that are in manual labor jobs need a big breakfast others don't.
honestly that saying was started by restaurants that wanted business like IHOP and denny's. people felt like it was okay to go and get 2000 calories for breakfast eating sausage, fried eggs, pancakes with syrup, toast, absolutely horrible! the grand slam breakfast at denny's actually has 1100 calories and that doesn't include the butter and extra syrup that people throw on there
It is very important to have your breakfast in the morning, but it should not be the biggest meal of the day - just an ordinary meal. It is important to have breakfast in the morning because you are not eating all night while sleeping, but that does not mean that you need to eat a lot. Have a nice healthy breakfast, and you will be just fine.
I doubt if I eat much more than 400-500 kcals at breakfast usually. If I'm on someone else's coin or at a hotel then I'll have a 'full english' (easily a 1000 kcals).
I think breakfast is a very important meal but it doesn't necessarily have to be your biggest meal of the day.
What matters the most is your total calorie and food intake from all meals at the end of the day.
I personally like to eat my biggest meals pre workout and post workout. It just makes logical sense to me. Food is fuel. It makes sense to fuel your body before your workout and to replenish it after your workout.

Steak and eggs if you'd like. But again - when do you train and what is the diet like from ALL the meals?
You can eat anything you like for breakfast as long as it fits your macro's. It does not make a difference if you eat eggs, meat, or tuna - your body only cares about the nutrients, not about the taste or form.
if your goals are cutting you cannot eat a steak everyday man. steak has a lot of calories.. i mean unless you are working out a lot everyday, i mean the normal joe isn't going to work out enough
fish is a much leaner protein source, the next being turkey.. chicken is next but be careful. fried chicken contains 450 calories per 3-4oz.
