i am in the habit of eating rice in the afternoon for lunch, hence i have to defenitely have some frioed items, curries and other small items like pickles and curd to have a wholesome lunch. it feels very heavy after i have tucked in my lunch. but unless i have a heavy lunch i dont feel comfortable. are you all in the habit of having heavy lunches?

I also eat heavy lunch everyday, because in the morning I don't feel like eating too much. A cup of coffee is good to me in the morning. So when it comes to lunch, I ate too much to full my already hungry stomach. So that when it comes to dinner, I don't have to eat heavy. It's not good to eat heavy during dinner anyway.

Hey ! I a food freak , must say love ma food . Like to try different cuisine . I usually start ma day with breakfast n a healthy one to keep me tight till afternoon . In between before lunch I take juice that will keep me going till lunch . So its quite obvious that i take a control diet during lunch and no rice for gods sake because that hinder my afternoon work in the office as i drink water after eating .

I like eating rice during lunch. Eating rice makes me full and satisfies my hunger. Here in my country almost everybody eats rice during lunch. We always eat heavy meals because we lose a lot of energy by sweating in the hot weather. And we drink a lot of water too. If I don't eat rice in the afternoon, I will feel very hungry and I will feel less energetic. It is because I am very used to eating heavy meals during lunch. Sometimes I will eat noodles and light lunch such as sandwiches if I am on diet. Other than that, I eat regularly with rice and some other side dishes as well.

I am not usually of the habit of eating heavy lunches. Maybe dinner is a little on the heavier side but it usually depends everyday on what I have for lunch. I don't eat a whole lot in the middle of the day. I usually have snacks and a cold drink during the day while I am working on line or doing chores. I suppose I should eat a little better though. One thing I know is that breakfast is very important for everyone.

I always eat a cup of rice every lunch and whatever the menu is at the canteen, for me that's my heavy lunch. I need it though because when I have a duty in morning shift, my co-staff and I eat a late lunch because we always have a full OR schedule in the morning. Sometimes, we eat lunch almost in the afternoon. We need to eat because we tend to work double time especially when all the OR are full so that we have energy to move and by that, we easily burn calories.

Similarly I eat much for supper.But the reason is that I have a early supper and a later sleeping.I need much energy to finish my daily work.So do you?

Most of the time I do. I try to control my dinner though. It is a fact that the later in he day makes metabolism much slower. After 6 diet works a lot. When I eat a really heavy lunch, most of the time, I don't even eat diner. It lasts me till breakfast the next day! LOL! I also avoid afternoon snacks if I ate a heavy lunch.

No, but I did today and it was a late lunch too. I was so hungry! I ate my "mini" chimi which wasn't all that mini, rice, beans & tons of chips and salsa. It was about 10 hours ago, but I am still very full. In fact, my stomach was hurting for awhile.
