Typically, my first meal is at 11:45 (a plate of normal food + fruit), and then one at about 19 (the content varies from bread + cold cuts to soup).
When this changes in numbers, size or kind I do not feel any difference in energy.
When I bike to work I am particularly not hungry until 11:45.
Thanks. I've never heard it framed this way. I've mentioned my appetite diminishes after aerobic exercise, but a common response is that I'm weird.
Interestingly my appetite sometimes skyrockets after certain activities like bouldering or weight lifting, so the diminished hunger response must be a bit more complex of a phenomenon.
> a plate of normal food + fruit
What is "normal food"? Fruit seems like it would be more universally normal than pretty much anything else.
Sorry, I was not clear. A plate of some meat + some vegetables, or variations of that. The kind of things you expect to eat for lunch in France (and, broadly speaking, in Europe).
What I meant by that is that this is a full starter for the day, not a "late French breakfast"
Interesting. I am also physically fit and if I don't have something to eat within the first half hour of getting up, I am cranky and definitely won't be doing anything approaching information work.
