Things change now as I usually dont eat breakfast and am out and about at noon the big meal is at night when work is done I guess for our healths sake we would be better off to eat the big meal at noon to burn off the calories. danny
Point taken.Old Savage wrote:Supper is definitely the evening meal - it is dinner that is the contention. Depends on where you are.
I'll go along with that!OI phones in... wrote:Well... Since almost all Americans except Farmers/Ranchers are about as butt-backward as possible with food...
Nutritionally, Dinner should be Breakfast, and Supper should be Lunch, but Lunch could be Dinner if things like Services get in the way.
But eating Dinner for Supper (generally) leads to caloric stacking during the nighttime muscular "down" cycle, and inevetably leads to fat-building and cholesterol binding.
IOW: Eat a Big Break-Fast (for dinner), Moderate to heavy Lunch (depending on work), and a Light Supper, unless circumstances (or the women types) require you to splurge on a major meal later in the day, then your Dinner is whenever you are eating the most...
Remember: For thousands of years it was simply to dark in the evening to eat much. You needed calories at daybreak to sustain the day, some more at noonish to maintain energy, and somthing to cover the peckishness before retiring at sunset.
Eat only what you can Pick, Pluck, Pull or Kill. Anything Processed is probably not good for your gut.
Oh, & FWIW, "evening meal" in biblical times at about 1600 as Sunset (when all work stops) hits at right around 1800 during Passover.
Ever had "supper" at 4pm?
Using English translations of Ancient Greek is not exactly the best way to prove a point...
(Ask me why in some versions of the Lord's Prayer it is "tresspass" and in others it's "debts"... note: think English idiom(s) vs. Greek definition...)
