Runners can get away with eating a big meal at night, because we burn so many calories during exercise. My biggest meal is also in the evening, but I always have breakfast and lunch as well. The golden rule is; “Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dine like a pauper.”

I have gone astray from this pattern on and off my whole life. My family and extended with about thirty people always eat a big meal at night. They are all runners and should know this by now but we still make this common mistake.

Hello Susan,
It's a shame that so many people, as you say, "don't get it". I also go for the 'full English' but that's only when I'm travelling and someone else has made it :O)
My normal breakfast is 2 Shredded Wheat, 2 Oatibix, muesli and a bananna all mixed up in the same bowl - (I've got a big bowl)!

Hi John –

Brilliant post as usual. It’s so true and people just don’t “get it”. Personally I always go for the “full english” whenever I have chance – although this is actually quite rare! And I love a bowl of strawberries when they are in season too!

All the best!

Susan

Hello Mostafa,
Thanks for your comment. I notice that you lead a healthy lifestyle, which may explain why you realise the importance of breakfast.

Hello Mandy,
I did think twice about using the word 'fat' in my title, but in  the end went with it just for effect - no slight intended. So many people make the mistake of missing breakfast that if just a few changed their habits by reading this post, it will have been worth it. Let me know if you do manage to change, and particularly if you also lose any weight :O)

Hi John,
I like this post. It it corrects a wrong idea that a lot of people have about diet.
indeed, breakfast is very important as it gives you the energy you need for the morning. People just need to avoid excess and have a reasonable meal.

Keep up the good work

BR, Mostafa

Hi John,

I haven’t eaten breakfast for years. Although I’m not a ‘fat’ person I do carry weight. I see what you are saying and will try to change my eating. Thank you once again.

Enjoy the journey.
