You don’t eat three meals a day because you have no money.
I don’t eat three meals a day because I want to lose weight.
We’re not the same.

I don’t eat three meals a day because shit is it already 5 pm? Why did my hunger response not say anything? Time to eat my entire daily caloric allowance in one sitting
We’re not the same
Its actually contra productive to skip one meal for that, just eat but less.
Why is it contra productive? If their daily calorie intake goes down than it is effective. That’s all that matters. Doesn’t matter if they achieve that trough intermittent fasting or calorie restriction.
because your metabolism consumes the most calories - and if you don’t eat anything, it’ll just slow the process of consuming calories.
So, to keep it running, you have to give it at least SOMETHING to work with.
But, but… Neoliberalism is for your good and anything socialist is bad.
It’s time to end neoliberalism.
Who eats three meals a day and why? I haven’t eaten three meals a day in years now, and I surely have more than enough money to afford food.
Unless those meals are teeny tiny, 3 meals a day reliably means weight gain for me
I haven’t eaten three times a day in almost 20 years. Nothing to do with money - I just like black coffee in the morning and nothing else.
Breakfast is against nature and I am ready to die on this hill.
Try telling this to my kids…
Okay once again very slowly for the people in the back:
“Kids’ metabolism != adults’ metabolism”
You’ll gain fifteen pounds a year eating like this.

The actual statistic of the headline is that people surveyed reported that over the last two years they “sometimes” or “regularly” no longer ate three meals a day because of inflation and the fall in their purchasing power.
When I order food they often have a minimum order value in money. It’s usually so much, I just can’t eat more than one meal. I know in advance, so I skip breakfast and get full at lunch, then skip diner too, because I’m still full.
Just out of interest: have you considered preparing your meals yourself?
This. Skipping a meal to afford food delivery is not a financial problem. It’s like saying “I am poor because I can only afford to drive one way with my Lamborghini and have to walk home”.
I mean, there are good reasons why people would choose to order food rather than cooking it: no time between three jobs, disabilities and so on. My comment wasn’t meant as an offense.
I do that sometimes, but I’m rich so I usually don’t feel like doing it.
