There is a saying in China that "breakfast is good, Chinese food is full, and dinner is few". This is because the morning is the beginning of the day. After a night's rest, people have digested and absorbed food in their bodies, but the morning is the time when they are most active in thinking and consume the most physical energy, and the whole body needs to be replenished urgently. So eat a good breakfast, eat more high-calorie and high-protein foods, and eat 30%-40% a day.
Lunch is the most important meal of the day. After half a day of "fierce fighting", physical energy consumption is high, and you have to continue studying and working in the afternoon, and your body needs a lot of energy supply. Therefore, you should have a full lunch, and the food intake accounts for 40%-50% of the whole day.
After eating, people's activities are greatly reduced, and eating too much will bring a lot of harm to their health. Therefore, it is advisable to eat less dinner, eating 20%-30% of the whole day.
Extended data:
From the point of view of TCM health preservation, it is necessary to replenish yang in the morning, and breakfast is mainly cereal, and milk and porridge can be added. Of course, no matter what kind of people, it is not recommended to eat pickled food for breakfast, because there may be a dangerous substance-ammonium nitrite in pickled food, which will lead to some diseases of esophagus and liver.
As the saying goes, "Eat well for breakfast, eat well for lunch and eat less for dinner." Why do you want this arrangement? Whenever we eat, after about 4 hours, the food will be completely emptied through digestion and absorption in the body. Therefore, in order to constantly replenish energy to the human body, it is necessary to arrange dinner every 4 to 6 hours.
In the morning, after sleeping for 8 hours, we will feel particularly refreshed. Naturally, the efficiency of work and study in the morning is higher than that in the afternoon. However, many people "skip" breakfast in order to hurry. Actually, this is a very unwise choice.
If we don't eat breakfast, the efficiency of work and study will be reduced. Our stomach is like a food processing bag. All the food we eat will pass through the stomach and be digested and absorbed. When there is no food in your stomach for a long time, you will feel stomachache. When there is no food to supply energy, dizziness, fatigue, palpitation and cold sweat often occur.
In addition, if you don't eat breakfast in the morning, you will only eat two meals a day. In this way, the fasting time will be longer, and the food intake per meal will also increase, so that the digestion and absorption function of the stomach will be enhanced and the food eaten will be completely absorbed. This is how Japanese sumo wrestlers gain weight. So people who skip breakfast are also prone to get fat. So breakfast must be full, so that the body can develop normally and maintain a healthy state.
