Are you a breakfast, lunch, or dinner person?
What does your ideal meal look like?
For many years, I didn’t eat breakfast. I’d have a large glass of orange juice and call it good. These days I often treat myself with a bowl of flavored oatmeal, especially in the colder months.
And lunch? I have mixed emotions. I loved when we went out as a team (before I retired). But I had to be careful what I ate. If I splurged on pasta, I’d often get a midday slump, so I normally stuck to salads or other lighter fare. (Yes, I have figured out it was a symptom of a thyroid problem. It’s being treated now.) These days, lunch is basically whatever I can grab when I feel like it. Occasionally, the hubby and I will go out for lunch, when the mood strikes us.
That leaves supper.
Supper is always an adventure. There are three different dietary issues I have to accommodate. Trying to find one meal plan that suits everyone is basically impossible. So, I end up having a backup for the main dish. I refuse to serve chicken for every meal. Personally, I prefer Italian food. Spaghetti, lasagna, or anything similar. (One member of the household doesn’t eat any pasta, so
But the best thing about supper is that it signals the end of the day. A time to relax. No rush to get to work or the grandkids to school. A time to sit at the computer and catch up on email or reading.
So, I guess I’m a dinner person.

We alternate mainly between chicken and fish. We don’t eat much red meat. Yes, I would also find that a stomach full of pasta at mid-day would cause a slump!
We should do more fish. but it’s just there’s no good fresh fish here unless you catch it yourself!
Our supermarket has a fresh fish counter, and I’m there every Friday morning before it all goes.
I avoid eating late in the day. Other than that, I ignore the conventional ideas of what to eat at a certain time of day and just have what I fancy.
I do most of my eating at the end of the day, even though doctors have advised me not too!
Supper is nice that way, as the cue that the working part of the day is over. @samanthabwriter from
Balancing Act
Exactly!
I have a beef sensitivity (causes inflammation) and have to work around it. It’s tough when folks are all over the page. My daughter has the issue of not liking much. Hopefully she grows out of that soon!
