I'm not sure if there are others out there like me, but the meal I always focus the most on is dinner. When I create my grocery list, its always centered around the dinners I'm going to prepare, with breakfast and lunch a la carte scattered in afterward.
Yet, I've heard that we should approach how we eat exactly the opposite. The saying is,
- Eat like a king (or in our case, queen) for breakfast
- Eat like a prince(ss) for lunch
- Eat like a pauper for dinner
This mentality makes sense, we spend most of the day active and burning calories, but only a few hours (if we're lucky) after dinner before bed.
Breakfast has always been quick and dirty for me (though I try to make sure I do eat something everyday).
Since I'm going grocery shopping on Saturday morning, I'll try to approach it differently:
Breakfast foods - turkey bacon and sausage; eggs; grits; couscous (my fave!); toast; fruit
Lunch foods - for me, this is usually dinner leftovers, and I think that will make sense with this new approach; fruits; fresh deli meat (no packaged cold cuts, too much extra sodium!)
Dinner foods - same things, but now I'll eat more of it for lunch and just a little for dinner!
I think this just means I'll be eating heartier breakfasts and more of my dinner for lunch. Seems doable.
