Supper

[suityou01]

I often heard of my grandparents telling me about supper. It's a meal we don't seem to have any more.

Breakfast
Lunch (Actually dinner)
Tea (4ish, bit of cake and a cuppa)
Supper (Cheese and crackers or a sarnie)

Does anyone still do supper in the evenings? If so, what do you have?
And if we structured our meals in this way would we all biffer out or control our weight better? Aren't we told to eat little and often?

Working for the MoD years ago and living in the old officer's quarters catering was part of the deal. Breakfast, lunch, tea (or dinner), and supper at 8pm which was usually filled rolls.

I preferred skipping supper as I'd be in the pub at that time and hitting the chippie at closing time.

luxury.

i do wonder about the op point though. I mean, if you have x calories spread evenly throughout the day,
is that different from having one big (or two) meal ?

Actually large meals are a waste of calories. In anyone sitting the body can only convert so many grams of carb and so many grams of protein. Normally for a meal it is suggested that you have 30 grams of protein, 90 grams of carbs, which is 480 calories. If you go over that the body cannot convert quick enough and the excess turns to fat.

Add to that a daily intake of 20-30grams of fat(the minimum-ish) for the body 180-270 calories in theory you can eat six times a day to get your calorie intake.

Now if you stick to three meals of the following combination you will lose 3/4 lbs per week on a diet, but if you were a seven stone weakling (dependent on metabolism and assuming you're not ectomorphic) than a six day set could be in operation. So breakfast, brunch, lunch, mid day snack, dinner, supper would give you 3000 calories a day, maxed out for a work out and thus build muscle). For body builders, they take additional supplements that will break down additional carbs/proteins, so a 6000 calories a day diet is not unheard of.

So get the diet right. You can eat all day and it will be better for you.
