]]> One of the most commonly known ideas when it comes to food is that we’re all supposed to eat three meals a day. But is this really true? Have you ever even wondered the reasons behind having to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner? Is it driven by a natural need of our bodies or a tradition woven through history? According to certain experts, it’s actually not that necessary.

Humble Beginnings

Some of these experts suggest that there’s no real requirement for three daily meals. Instead, this routine emerged due to its predictability. In the past, families often dined together, creating a pattern that furthered this tradition. However, things aren’t quite the same these days.

Changing of Times

In these modern times, most individuals have irregular work hours, often returning home later. This applies to all adults within a household. As a consequence, snacking has become a go-to option due to its speed and convenience. Family dinners have transformed into a rarity, causing dinner to become the most significant meal, while the others are less so.

Unique Individuals

While there are benefits to spreading out meals into three a day, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to eating patterns. Individual needs vary, which is why three meals a day shouldn’t be a requirement.

Third week of isolation for us, still at least 3 more to go. How is it where you live? For me some days are worse, like yesterday, some days are better, like today, but deep inside I can't stop worrying that something could happen to the ones I love ♥😔 Today I felt like having crêpes for breakfast could be a good idea. I wasn't feeling very creative so I filled them only with plain soy yogurt. But all the berries, chocolate and coconut syrup on top definitely did the trick 😉 . I used this easy crêpe recipe: 150g all purpose flour 1 tbsp coconut sugar 1 tbsp melted coconut oil pinch of salt 300ml plant milk Just add all ingredients to a bowl and whisk until smooth. Bake on hot nonstick pan greased with oil. A good nonstick pan really makes the difference when it comes to baking crêpes or pancakes! Stay safe and healthy ♥♥♥ . . . . . . #breakfast #healthybreakfast #breakfastideas #heresmyfood #onthetable #healthyrecipes #veganrecipes #veganfoodshare #foodblogger #foodpictures #healthymealideas #healthylifestyle #healthyfood #healthyfoodies #healthychoices #healthyeating #healthyeats #crepes #comfortfood #breakfasttime #foodphotography #foodstyling #youarewhatyoueat #vegan #plantbased #whatveganseat #breakfastofchampions #pancakes #morningslikethese #veganfood

Structured Meals

Fight the urge to snack all day long and make sure you’re having three meals per day, approximately at the same time every day. Eat your breakfast, lunch, and dinner, just like you normally would.

Healthy Snacks

Make sure you always have your favorite fruits and veggies at hand because they make great snacks for when you’re hungry between meals or just bored. Other great options include nuts, dried fruits, seeds, etc.

Portion Snacks

If you don’t want to give up on your favorite snacks, never eat them directly out of the bag. Instead, portion them into smaller containers so you know exactly how much you are eating.
