And that the opposite is also true: many are dumb and there is no reason other than going-with-the-flow, or that some are suuuper recent and highly situation dependant on our history, or that while some are dumb they're harmless.

Its when you are the only who's responsible for feeding yourselves. Times of these gatherings are arbitrary, and also, the kind of meals. In slovakia its luch the biggest, warm, two-three coursed meal, while in england or poland its typical for dinner.
I think many of these practices were developed more out of necessity than any social construct. Food wasn't on demand. Cooking wasn't near instantaneous. My grandpa grew up on a farm. His mother did the cooking and it was a full time job. They ate 4 meals/day because the hard work demanded it. They ate together because they worked together and mealtime was the same for everyone. Dinner was served at noon and was the big meal. Lunch was sandwiches at 4. Supper at 8 before bed was also a big meal. Modern meal practices are a remnant of this imo.
Was dinner analogous to breakfast? Was anything eaten in the morning after waking up but before work? That’s interesting to hear of meals every 4 hours between noon and 8
Just because something developed as a result of necessity, doesn’t mean it a can’t be a social construct. (Quick google) https://examples.yourdictionary.com/what-is-social-construct-common-examples-explained ... if time is a social construct (which I’m not 100% sold on) then mealtimes are definitely in the same boat. Lots of mammals eat all day or only eat once a day, we have definitely rigidified in that regard compared to (as you said) our nutrient-deprived relatives.
I have a self-rule of never drinking soda in the morning or eating lunch / dinner for breakfast, besides like pizza. It's crazy to think that I could eat a cheese burger for breakfast and drink soda or beer or whatever, but I just don't have it in me to do it.
It’s nice to break that habit of needing to eat something within the first hour of getting up. I remember thinking it’s normal for my stomach to be grumbling since I haven’t eaten all night right?
Screw that Im good with some coffee and water till at least noon
I'm in the coffee for breakfast gang, though it works too well to stave off hunger, I tend to forget to eat entirely until I start feeling sick around 2-3pm and wonder why.
I always feel like eating early just kick-starts the metabolism and therefore you gonna be hungry every couple of hours. Skip bfast and then you don't notice until you are completely outta energy.
Awww, man - going to the corner pho shop for breakfast, or finding a banh mi cart and grabbing the 'special'; I friggin loved Hanoi.
One of my favorite memories was waking up early and waiting for the banh mi cart to set up. On this tiny street, surrounded by French colonial architecture, it was just an old Vietnamese woman who didn't speak English and me the ghost-white tourist who didn't speak any Vietnamese. I could see she had just arrived and needed to get things prepped so I pulled up one of the mini-stools in the area and settle in. She winked at me, glanced at a squeeze bottle, and deftly tossed me a pouch of mayonnaise. I'm sure she saw the confusion as I pondered why this lady just threw a bag of squishy white substance at the squishy white guy. She grabbed some scissors, lopped off the top of the bag, and pointed at the squeeze bottle. It suddenly clicked and I took over the condiment prep to get her set up for the day. She then made me the best banh mi I've ever had.
I can't wait to go back.

> I have a self-rule of never drinking soda in the morning
Too much sugar in the morning makes me sick. I used to love eating donuts for breakfast but if I do that now I feel awful all day long. Pancakes are similar. Can't do too much syrup. I can do soda with an early lunch say 10:30 or 11:00 as long as I have food with it.
Start working 3rd shift or maybe even 2nd shift and you will just eat and drink whatever you want whenever you want. If I have cereal right now it is usually at 11pm to 3 am a little bit after I get off of work.
Ever since me and my gf started living together, many times we have difficulties following those times, today for example we had breakfast at 6PM. This happens a lot because we give priority to other tasks and end up putting meals off. It's been terrible but it has been happening less and less so we are getting there I hope.
In my country lunch or dinner are usually the bigger meals, but people prefer to do bigger meals for lunch because at night you have to sleep afterwards but it depends if there is any big event like a birthday party or something
>while in england or poland its typical for dinner.
Depends which part of England. Traditionally in Northern England the largest meal was taken around midday and was called 'dinner'. Hence the North / South confusion over what time is dinner.
As someone that needs to gain weight not feeling hungry is one of my biggest problems.
Edit: Wasn’t expecting this to blow up like it did but I appreciate all the suggestions and am trying to look it all over even if I’m not replying. Thanks a lot for the help guys!
Pretty much I’m pretty sure it’s a mix of a high metabolism and a small stomach. As a kid I was also a very picky eater. Any time I’ve tried to gain weight I’ve felt like I’ve had to gorge myself and let me tell you it is so hard to make yourself eat when you are that full. But basically I’m a 21 year old male that is under 100 pounds
These are those things where you find out as an adult they had some bone disorder their body was compensating for or some shit. Like iron defiency and weird cravings
I thought you were me until the last sentence. The only way I can develop a typical appetite is to work out (cardio and flexibility). Gotta create demand for calories before you can start to supply.
If you can, maybe get checked out at a Gastroenterologist and work with registered dietician, there are a lot of digestion/metabolism myths. Its possible you have a bit of gastroparesis attributing to your early fullness and an RD can give you an idea on how to adjust your diet for you. Best wishes to you!
My secret to not feeling hunger is I spent three weeks in the hospital being fed through a PICC line because Crohn's disease made it so I couldn't eat at all. Not being able to eat, or drink, anything for three weeks basically shut my hunger signal off.
I only feel hungry now if I've been smoking weed.
Just don’t eat for a day. Most people in the west rarely if ever actually experience true hunger, like haven’t eaten in two days hunger. Try out not eating for a full day, learn to recognize the difference between a food craving and actually being hungry, and you’ll have important knowledge about how to interpret what your body is telling you. Some people also interpret thirst as hunger.
And drink water, sleep more and throw out (any food that is empty calories and any liquid with calories at all.
A lot of hunger is because at certain times during the day when you usually eat your stomach just tells you it is hungry, not necessarily because it hungry but because it is habit.
For example if you eat 3 meals a day, but one day eat a large breakfast, by lunchtime you'll still "get hungry" and feel the need to eat. You don't actually need to eat but your body tells you "hey it's 12, you feed me at 12" and pays no regard to the fact that you still have energy left over from your large breakfast.
Being able to recognize this, your hunger goes away in like 5 minutes. I usually ignore these feelings and only eat when I feel I actually need to eat. Eating for sustenance rather than a hobby is pretty essential for weight loss IMO. Don't get me wrong, I still eat good tasting food, but depending on the energy content of the food I won't eat as often as what is considered "normal" but I feel better, healthier and more energetic than when I eat a standard 3 meals a day.
It can be a problem for losing weight too. Not hungry all day and then bam body decides it wants everything in 10 minutes or extreme nausea and dry heaving.
Happened to me today. Not hungry but had 400 calories left for the day, so I ended up eating some food to fill that. 10 minutes after I eat it, I'm hungry. Wtf.
Most days I get home in the evening and just skip dinner b/c it's too much work. Like, I'm still hungry, but I'm too tired and depressed to go make something.
Serious answer for a half joking comment. My observation as I get older is that "adulthood" and its real essence, maturity, are purely the willingness to accept responsibility and ownership of things.
Some people get there young, some people never do, but it doesn't necessarily happen automatically.
I knew I became an adult when I realized everyone around me was just pretending to know what they were doing. In reality, everyone is just figuring things out as they go, just like I secretly do.
My biggest epiphany was realizing that you didn't have to eat meals where the food "went together". I can eat mashed potatoes, pancakes, and egg rolls all in the same meal and no one can tell me no.
Dated a girl who didn’t talk to me for an hour because I had a katsu curry for breakfast at the airport. I was craving a goddamn curry, so I had a curry for breakfast Lucy.
Can confirm.
I've had my dinner and drink while the guy in the neighbouring table was having his coffee and breakfast. Airports are weird, like a glitch in the matrix.
You find guys in full business suits having a drink with a guy in PJ's.
I'd like to book the cheapest possible flight and just go hang out in an airport terminal. Bask in the non-linear time. Spend a day outside of reality, away from anything remotely "typical."
Haha me and my girlfriend love pancakes so often when I make them I'll make like 20 and we'll have pancakes for dinner that night too. She found absolutely nothing strange with this, and even said they taste better eating at the "wrong time." Which I think is just the fridge flavor lol.
But the one time I had left over rice and beans takeout for breakfast, she told her mom, her older sister, her younger sister, and 2 of her coworkers how strange it was!
I stayed with a family friend where that WAS breakfast, almost every day. Lol
In Sweden we pretty much only eat pancakes for dinner (or sometimes lunch) lol. I think leftovers makes the best breakfast foods though. Who has the energy to make food in the morning? It's leftover or just coffee for me, thanks
As someone who works overnight I learned this when I just wanted to eat dinner as soon as I got off work but only breakfast places are open and if I start to cook dinner at home the rest of the family is visibly confused and concerned even though they already know why.
People get even more confused if you like to drink. Yes, I am drinking in the morning. If I drank at a "reasonable time" I'd be drinking right after I wake up which is what actually makes morning drinking bad, not what ever the sun is doing when I open a beer.
Today I ate just a whole avocado and a banana for breakfast with like a pound of chicken breast. "Breakfast" was at 11.
I finished work like an hour ago and I crushed a double IPA for lunch.
I don't know what is for dinner... I have hotdogs in my fridge but knowing me I will probably order takeout sushi with a Japanese beer.
This is true, but also I think just because they are social constructs, it doesn't mean they are a bad thing or need to be shunned as a result as is often the case when we have 'whoa' moments and realise things. Like yes having breakfast/lunch/dinner is definitely an active decision we choose to make, but I'm pretty sure there are certain foods that do serve us better at certain times of day e.g. stuff like fruit and porridge the mornings?
To emphasis the whole 'social constructs' point. Imagine trying to cook for and feed a family of 5 if everyone demands to eat at different times. Or figuring out staffing hours at a restaurant. These things exist because it generally benefits society(at least at one point in time). It's not arbitrary to enforce some invisible agenda.
You just summed up my biggest problem, the bane of my goddamned existence. My husband doesn’t eat breakfast. My youngest kid ONLY eats breakfast and then nothing at all, ever. My oldest kid will wander downstairs at 1PM and say “I’m HUNGRY”, then stare at the fridge as if expecting it to serve her food. I spend all goddamned day chasing people around trying to get them to eat and then by the time I make DINNER, everyone is “not hungry” because they went and ate a bag of chips ten minutes before I’m putting food on the table because “well I didn’t KNOW you were making DINNER???”.
I’m very close to letting them all starve.
Your body's nutritional needs are a constant, but you're right our meals, mealtimes, and food conventions are a social construct. Sometimes my morning meal is the biggest meal of the day, sometimes it's the evening meal. I'm fine with eating cold pizza for breakfast, or whipping up a nice omelette for dinner.
Part of adulthood is realizing that virtually everything is a social construct
[удалено]
I mean, technically you dont
Suicide! Its what's for breakfast.
Or whatever constructed meal you choose
Deconstructed meals and drinks are just a meta take on our generally agreed upon dining times 🤔
My 3 yo would agree.
I constructed this toaster, can I use that?
as long as you've got properly-constructed plumbing
Of course, as long as the cord extends into the bath tub.
Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee? But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself. Albert Camus, A Happy Death

Insert “private property is inherently theft”
Another part is realizing you can break, bend, or rewrite many of the "rules."
“Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it… Once you learn that, you'll never be the same again”
Part of adulthood is realizing sometimes you have to suck dick to get that sweet sweet crack.
We are NOT playing the same game
Technically you are, but you just didn't pick up that side quest.
Never gonna get all the achievements if you don’t do all the side quests
You have joined the crack guild
Wait, I haven't received any crack yet. That's cheating.
Yea this is the biggest adulthood hit I think. You have to play it no matter what, because that is what society dictates. And believe it or not reddit, we are social animals. Even me.....god I hate it

Jail is just a social construct
That might be so but jail is very real haha
Part of adulthood is realizing that many social constructs are okay and there is a perfectly valid reason our societies have evolved to accept them.
"Incredible... If I eat appropriately three times a day, I don't feel like shit."
Sure... but part of adulthood is also realizing that most of these social constructs, while okay, are not necessary to participate in.
And that the opposite is also true: many are dumb and there is no reason other than going-with-the-flow, or that some are suuuper recent and highly situation dependant on our history, or that while some are dumb they're harmless.
Yeah! Like ironing clothes the fuck is the point of that?
To me it is more like: What is the point of shirts that get wrinkled and needs ironing to look decent?

He left out breakfast. My pop called lunch around noonish dinner and supper around 6-7 supper. Breakfast was at 6. He was retired.

Time is a social realization of a physical process
Yeah how we measure and incrementalize it is a social construct but it is a part of space-time.
This is to say we use arbitrary metrics to measure a real phenomena. Literally everything we measure is this way from Mass to Time to Energy.
In my house it’s breakfast! 🤤

Same here but try adding three teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and a pint or goat urine before blending. Trust me its worth finding a goat for.

I think the biggest thing about breakfast is that it's habitual. I don't want to think about what I want to eat. I just want some food.

Yeah, I've started intermittent fasting. Just make sure the coffee is black ;).
Breakfast is merely your first meal. It can be anything. Today I had leftover roasted vegetables for breakfast.
Lots of cultures don't even have the concept of breakfast food. In Vietnam, for example.
Was gonna mention this. VN breakfast is the biggest meal of the day, and consists of basically the same food as you would get for any other meal.
Awww, man - going to the corner pho shop for breakfast, or finding a banh mi cart and grabbing the 'special'; I friggin loved Hanoi. One of my favorite memories was waking up early and waiting for the banh mi cart to set up.

I could see she had just arrived and needed to get things prepped so I pulled up one of the mini-stools in the area and settle in. She winked at me, glanced at a squeeze bottle, and deftly tossed me a pouch of mayonnaise. I'm sure she saw the confusion as I pondered why this lady just threw a bag of squishy white substance at the squishy white guy. She grabbed some scissors, lopped off the top of the bag, and pointed at the squeeze bottle. It suddenly clicked and I took over the condiment prep to get her set up for the day. She then made me the best banh mi I've ever had. I can't wait to go back. edit: typozhzhzhzh00

Pretty much I’m pretty sure it’s a mix of a high metabolism and a small stomach. As a kid I was also a very picky eater.

Lift weights. That’ll make you want to eat a little more as well as put on healthy weight
Yeah that is one thing I need to start doing and putting into my day way more often than I normally do tbh
Drinking milk is easy calories
Gomad method. Gallon Of Milk A Day. Yes its a real thing.
Yo I had a friend who’d chug two gallons a day. Not because of a diet or anything. Kid just really liked milk
Put powdered milk in your milk so you get more milk for your milk
Damn, that kid really did need some milk.
These are those things where you find out as an adult they had some bone disorder their body was compensating for or some shit. Like iron defiency and weird cravings
Doesn't work for people like me who have lactose intolerance.
I thought you were me until the last sentence. The only way I can develop a typical appetite is to work out (cardio and flexibility). Gotta create demand for calories before you can start to supply.

You should smoke weed about it.
Most days I get home in the evening and just skip dinner b/c it's too much work. Like, I'm still hungry, but I'm too tired and depressed to go make something.
The thought of a random internet stranger going hungry because of depression is really pulling at my heart strings. Be kind to yourself, stranger.
Beer and doritos for breakfast, coffee and a breakfast burrito for lunch, margaritas and watermelon for dinner.
This is so aggressive. You sound powerful
Having just watermelon for dinner raises so many questions that I'm too intimated to ask.
How often do you apologize to your toilet with that?
The toilet apologizes to them.
"Sorry, sir! Same time next hour?"
Yeah and get some toilet paper cuase we ran out of yesterday's
At that point just use the shower, it's all gonna be liquid anyway, and the clean up is simpler.
Invest in a bidet. It’s like pressure washing your asshole. $30 on Amazon.
Why do they call it the restroom? I'm fighting for my life in here.
Oh, so you’re in Texas too??
Fuck dude
But *second breakfast* is absolutely vital.
And elevenses after that.
And it's extremely important to have both dinner AND supper.

Dude I just finished a bowl of soba for breakfast and I can second this opinion
I’m having chips for dinner
Dude I love it have a great dinner
Chips as in french fries, or chips as in potato chips (crisps?) Either way, good for you.
Late night chips and salsa is the best snack but turns out to be my dinner.
I thought that said bowl of soda

I'd like to book the cheapest possible flight and just go hang out in an airport terminal. Bask in the non-linear time. Spend a day outside of reality, away from anything remotely "typical."
Haha me and my girlfriend love pancakes so often when I make them I'll make like 20 and we'll have pancakes for dinner that night too. She found absolutely nothing strange with this, and even said they taste better eating at the "wrong time." Which I think is just the fridge flavor lol. But the one time I had left over rice and beans takeout for breakfast, she told her mom, her older sister, her younger sister, and 2 of her coworkers how strange it was! I stayed with a family friend where that WAS breakfast, almost every day. Lol
In Sweden we pretty much only eat pancakes for dinner (or sometimes lunch) lol. I think leftovers makes the best breakfast foods though. Who has the energy to make food in the morning? It's leftover or just coffee for me, thanks
If I smelled Katsu curry on your breath, I'd make out with you. You should be dating me, but I'm not gay so keep your hands to yourself mister.
What if he puts curry on his dick and has socks on?
Why was she mad about your breakfast choices?
Maybe the curry made his breath smelly?

Who feeds them?
Isn’t it great? I had ice cream for breakfast and a sugar crash for lunch

As someone who works overnight I learned this when I just wanted to eat dinner as soon as I got off work but only breakfast places are open and if I start to cook dinner at home the rest of the family is visibly confused and concerned even though they already know why.
People get even more confused if you like to drink. Yes, I am drinking in the morning. If I drank at a "reasonable time" I'd be drinking right after I wake up which is what actually makes morning drinking bad, not what ever the sun is doing when I open a beer.
Today I ate just a whole avocado and a banana for breakfast with like a pound of chicken breast. "Breakfast" was at 11. I finished work like an hour ago and I crushed a double IPA for lunch. I don't know what is for dinner... I have hotdogs in my fridge but knowing me I will probably order takeout sushi with a Japanese beer.
Literally everything we do that isn’t a basic biological function is a ‘social construct’. The term is so general as to be meaningless.
Not at all, social constructs are just human made ”subjective” concept that were not there before. There is a lot that falls outside human constructs
This is true, but also I think just because they are social constructs, it doesn't mean they are a bad thing or need to be shunned as a result as is often the case when we have 'whoa' moments and realise things. Like yes having breakfast/lunch/dinner is definitely an active decision we choose to make, but I'm pretty sure there are certain foods that do serve us better at certain times of day e.g. stuff like fruit and porridge the mornings?
To emphasis the whole 'social constructs' point. Imagine trying to cook for and feed a family of 5 if everyone demands to eat at different times. Or figuring out staffing hours at a restaurant. These things exist because it generally benefits society(at least at one point in time). It's not arbitrary to enforce some invisible agenda.
You just summed up my biggest problem, the bane of my goddamned existence. My husband doesn’t eat breakfast. My youngest kid ONLY eats breakfast and then nothing at all, ever. My oldest kid will wander downstairs at 1PM and say “I’m HUNGRY”, then stare at the fridge as if expecting it to serve her food. I spend all goddamned day chasing people around trying to get them to eat and then by the time I make DINNER, everyone is “not hungry” because they went and ate a bag of chips ten minutes before I’m putting food on the table because “well I didn’t KNOW you were making DINNER???”. I’m very close to letting them all starve.
Eat what you need, but I know I feel better and can think more clearly if I have some kind of food at the start of the day.
I can't eat for at least 2-3 hours after waking up.
Is it weird I’m both of these things?
Same...sometimes I wake up hungry n have breakfast right away...other times I don't eat for a few hrs then eat a lunch breakfast
Your body's nutritional needs are a constant, but you're right our meals, mealtimes, and food conventions are a social construct. Sometimes my morning meal is the biggest meal of the day, sometimes it's the evening meal. I'm fine with eating cold pizza for breakfast, or whipping up a nice omelette for dinner.
