What to eat? and when?
 

I can eat almost anything almost any time.

I have no problem eating oatmeal in the evening (for supper) or pizza in the morning (for breakfast).


DH, however, (for examples) thinks that oatmeal is only appropriate in the morning, and pizza after 11:30 am.

Do you think that certain foods are only appropriate at certain times of the day?

Beer...is not just for breakfast anymore!

Sorry...I saw this on a shirt once and I thought it was hilarious!

I have had ice cream for breakfast so, no, eat what you want when you want. Life is to short to micro-manage food choices and timing of such. I like "breakfast" for dinner sometimes!

I too eat leftover pizza for breakfast but don't tell the grandchildren! :)

I eat only when I get hungry and whatever I want at the time. DH likes a set time for each meal so he eats at those times. I don't think he cares what food is what meal, he as long as it tastes good. My grandson age 4 is with me today and we had ziti noodles with cut up tomatoes, basil and grated cheese for breakfast. He ate a plate full.

Ditto.....Life is too short

If it is quick to make or already ready I eat just about anything, any time. Probably veggies seem noon on to me as do dinners that I make in multiples. Otherwise everything is fair game even pizza any time of day/night.

I rarely bought sugary cereal when the kids were growing up, but when I did, we would have it for dinner and they would get to choose. It was a special event. I also used to have what we called backwards desert. On their birthday, they got to have ice cream before breakfast. And afterwards they got to go on a shopping spree to ToysRUs. They both have fond memories of this. In answer to your question, I eat what I want, when I want.

My tummy does not assign foods to time of day, I can eat anything anytime ��

I never cared for traditional egg breakfasts and was allergic to milk, so I would have many different things for breakfast - ice cream, tuna sandwich, chicken noodle soup, cold pizza, to name a few.

Nope - whatever we want whenever we want it. We tend to stick with about 3 meals about the same time every day, but, life goes on and sometimes not so much. We are very flexible in retirement with no hungry children to contend with!!

I ask DH "Are you hungry?"

Then he looks at his watch - his watch knows if he is hungry or not?

Tartan my Dr. put me on prescription Prevacid for acid reflux. I took one pill a day for two weeks, then one every other day for a week and now I'm down to one pill a week. No reflux at all and I can eat anything without worry. The main thing is to get the esophagus healed from previous reflux erosion and then prevent it from doing any more damage.

My DH is also one of those people who only eats traditional breakfast foods for breakfast, lunch foods at lunch time, and of course dinner foods at dinner only. Sometimes I find that restricting, but, overall he's a grand guy so I go along with it. Also, his metabolism is pretty fast so meals tend to be a set number of hours apart. Oh well.....

I've been known to have oatmeal for supper when my hubby is not around. When the kids were little and he taught adult ed, we'd have breakfast for supper once in a while and they loved it. Cheesy eggs, yum. My hubby's like yours. My stomach is more flexible like yours.

My DH does the exact same thing! Must admit it drives me a little crazy:) I'm either hungry or not hungry, don't care what time it is! And, actually, I am usually hungry!

I can eat breakfast foods any time. In fact, a bacon, eggs, and hasbrowns or pancakes is one of my favorite dinners. I seldom make it because my DH doesn't care for it as a dinner. But I don't care for any meat other than bacon or sausage in the morning, whereas he can enjoy steak, pizza, a chicken burrito, or the like as breakfast. When he goes on business trips, I love having oatmeal or cereal or whatever floats my easy boat for dinner.

I'll eat icecream any time of the day. however, I don't like to eat anything before 3 pm.
I'm on a lot of meds, and i think that has something to do with it.

I love breakfast foods and often eat breakfast for dinner. Chicken soup for breakfast, no thanks.

I have heard it said, a relationship consists of two people asking each other "What do you want to eat?" until one of them dies.

Priceless!!!

I only eat breakfast on weekends and it is usually traditional eggs, etc. Have been known to eat breakfast for dinner (especially when I am at my house in Maine), but DH is a meat and potatoes guy, so "regular" food for him. Like Lynnie, there are days I don't eat until after 3 pm. Other days I'm eating from sun-up to sundown. DH likes cold pizza. No thanks. I am not one to eat leftovers (except soups and stews), he doesn't care one way or the other.

I have to confess, I had a "normal" dinner tonight: a small hamburger (no bun), 1/2 cup of corn niblets and a cluster of green grapes. Now I have heartburn...Oh well...

Our mom would have things like burger patties, grilled cheese sandwiches, or ham and cheese sandwiches for breakfast. So I got used to eating more substantial meals in the morning. Today, I eat anything anytime. If I want soup for breakfast and pancakes for supper, so be it. I like "breakfast foods" for supper. [Here in the south, most of us have dinner at midday and supper at night.]

I had pancakes for dinner last night. A lot of mornings breakfast is left overs for the night before.

Actually "western civilization" as we know it, is unique in having "breakfast" foods per se. Most of the rest of the world eats the same type of food for each meal.

SO and I are pretty much traditional meals, but a lot of time nothing sounds that good for dinner, so we have cereal. I had a sister that loved cold spaghetti mashed up on toast.

That was a farm thing, too. Farmers usually have more time to spend at meals at noon, whereas in the morning and evening, there are milking chores to do, and they don't have time to sit around and enjoy their food.

When my cousin got married, the invitation said, "Wedding supper at 6:00 PM." And that was in St. Paul MN.

my dh was the same...now that I am alone.....I eat when I'm hungry or just pick at something to fill the void....and yes, children, g-kids, and now gg and I will enjoy a pasta dish as mentioned above too! But, I do sort of keep certain foods for certain times of day....usually the heaviest " meal" is midday...evening (supper) the lightest.

After being on a night schedule for many years, I can eat anything anytime, with the exception of anything tomato-y. If I eat (say) spaghetti before bedtime, it gives me indigestion big-time. I'll wake up ON FIRE. :shock: Anything tomato-y has to be eaten early in my day.

I *love* breakfast for supper, or any other time of day! :thumbup:

Nothing to eat until after 3pm? I actually must have coffee and toast, cookie, pop tart first thing in morning...stomach is empty and growling...after feeding the beast..I can do the rest of the day however. But I would think no food in stomach all day while those stomach acids are churning up in there could lead to ulcers.....but to each his own...

Pizza makes a wonderful breakfast. I do mostly eat traditional breakfast type foods for breakfast. But if there is something good in the refrigerator there isn't any reason to not eat it for breakfast or dinner or whenever. My DH favorite breakfast is left over spaghetti and meat sauce. My kids favorite dinner was always breakfast for dinner.

I started eating Chili for breakfast when I was 15. Still one of my favorite breakfast foods, right up there with pizza.

There were a few times I gave my kids pizza for breakfast. They thought it was great. 2 large pieces and orange juice were some of their better breakfasts. They have also had cereal for supper and still slept through the night. I have thrown an egg in the skillet lightly scrambled and a deli meat, then wrapped it in a piece of lettuce for a light lunch which actually lasted longer to a late supper about 6-7 hours later.

This is a very interesting thread. I never knew so many people ate non-traditional foods for breakfast. On rare occasions I have had pizza for breakfast, or a slice of cheesecake. I never realized just how traditional I am.

I can relate to this--my husband does the same thing lol

Ice cream, cheese on pizza IS MILK.

I eat what sounds good to me at whatever time. I do try to eat supper around 5 or 6:00 just because others in the house but it could be any type food. Pancakes, eggs or whatever.

My favorite time of day to eat pie is in the morning. I enjoy it much more then than as a dessert.

I can eat anytime and anywhere. Pure and simple. If you cook it, I will eat it, unless it has cilantro (which I am very allergic to). Funny how any meal tastes that much better if someone else cooks it.

I use to be one of those cooks that made everything from scratch, but not anymore. Amazing how as you get older you start simplifying your life.

My dad was one of those that only wanted breakfast items for breakfast, and dinner was to be meat and potatoes. When he was out of town my mom would make eggs for dinner or pancakes or even french toast. When my sisters left home she and I would some time only eat fried zucchini or fried eggplant since no one else liked it.
Once we were driving back to KS from WA, (I was 11 at the time) and one time for dinner I wanted onion rings with my dinner - the place was out, and I was disappointed and so my dad said I could have them for breakfast. He was being sarcastic was sure I wouldn't remember but the next morning when we stopped a a diner for breakfast I ordered the onion rings. The waitress looked at my parents and they said it was okay, the cook came out to see who ordered the onion rings. They were wonderful. From that time on I realized it didn't matter what was eaten at what meal. My youngest DD never cared for breakfast food, so she grew up mostly eating left-overs for breakfast.

When we were in Sri Lanka I was in heaven curry for breakfast lol, a lot of the other British guests struggled as they did not serve traditional breakfast food:thumbup:

This is the one allergic to milk who eats ice cream and pizza. It wasn't Sandygirl. It was Dunster.
