I’ve always thought we have our meals backwards. Breakfast should be the biggest meal of the day since the body has been fasting for approximately 12 hours and needs energy to sustain itself for the rigors of the day. Lunch should be the next biggest meal since the body requires more energy during the day and needs a top off. Supper therefore should be the smallest meal since the body will be at rest for the better part of the remainder of the day and night and doesn’t need a lot of energy to sustain itself.
