When i was younger i often just had coffee--didn't eat till hungry and evening meal was largest while had family. But i had gestational diabetes twice and the second time it lingered about 6 months. Tho i keep my Blood Sugar numbers under control with diet and activity, eating breakfast became a habit. Since retiring lunch is more likely to be a substantial meal because daughter works the swing shift (2:30 - 9:30 pm). So especially in winter i make hearty meals for midday 3-4 days a week. i often skip dinner, tho in summer i'll have smoothies or fruit in the evening. Since i generally have small servings of lunch (unless i've been splitting firewood) my pattern is now reverse of when i was young--i often consume the largest quantity of food and breakfast and then less as day wears on.
