I have been thinking about my diet in the context of what americans eat vs. what ppl in other countries eat for dinner, and i feel like eating dinner in the us of a is kind of screwed up (thread)
you see, up until this year due to the pandemic, i would be going to guatemala every summer and for dinner each day, we literally just had a white-flour piece of bread, beans/cheese and coffee. that was it-- not a very big meal.
but for the rest of the year in the us, and even now, i eat significantly more. breakfast / lunch SHOULD be the biggest meal of the day imo... especially since its easier to bloat after eating so much at night (at least I know I do). i& #39;d lose more weight on a lighter dinner
not only that, but it becomes easier to sleep at night when you& #39;re not so full, you& #39;ll digest it better, & coffee suppresses your hunger so that you& #39;re not snacking at 2 AM next to the fridge.
having lunch and dinner being comparatively large-sized meals is unrealistic.

if you look at a bunch of english-language diet plans or ones created w/ the western world in mind though they don& #39;t reduce portion sizes for dinner in fact sometimes its even larger than lunch... and its like why??
you already had the opportunity for a large meal earlier on...

this thread is kind of worthless but thats just my take away. i am not a nutritionist or expert, these are my thoughts
there& #39;s actually so little we know about nutrition science anyways so its not like talking about this is completely pointless but this is a rant soo
