Proving Husband Wrong

extraordinary_machine

My darling husband, who is a PE/Health teacher is getting into arguments with me over meal timing, eating breakfast, etc. He's claiming all the "old" info: you need a breakfast to "start" your metabolism; you need to eat throughout the day, etc.

Could you link some peer-reviewed info so I can prove him wrong?:laugh: I know it's all out there in MFP-land, but I'm too lazy to search the forums.

Many thanks!!

Proving bro-science believing husbands wrong is one of the best parts of MFP. Mine still won't believe that saturated fat is not the most important thing to pay attention to.

There should be some research linked in the above post.

Most notably in the above link would be this one, IMO:

Unnervingly, I had a trainer tell me the other day that breakfast is the most important meal, and that I should have an omelette with just the egg whites. When I asked him why, he said 'cholesterol' and I said to him, 'surely to God, you don't still subscribe to that old myth? Cholesterol in food is not directly linked to body cholesterol and only really might need to be watched if you already have issues with cholesterol'. He did not quite know how to respond. He also did not agree with fasting.

It makes you then wonder what other misinformation that trainer is pushing.

Yep, I ended up screwing up the food plan he had printed out, you know, the neat and tidy 3 meals and 2 snacks sort of thing.
I am most definitely huge dinner sort of person. Fortunately, the other trainers at my gym seem to mostly believe in the 'whatever works best for you' system, excepting one who suggested I try IF, and another(the gym owner) who suggested no carbs after midday (LOL).
