I think it’s caused by a number of reasons, but one may be to do with what you ate the night before. So, if you eat late at night, you may not be able to eat as much the next morning, or vice versa.

And it’s also to do with the habits you have nurtured over the years, such as snacking, timing of meals, and the types of foods you choose.

Really, the main thing is that you do what works for you. So, if a small breakfast is enough for you, and you don’t feel excessive hunger prior to lunchtime, then keep doing what you’re doing.

You mentioned your hands shaking if you don’t eat breakfast – you’re body gets used to eating at a certain time, so when it doesn’t get food, blood sugars drop low, and you get the effect you mentioned. It’s nothing to worry about, but you should eat before it gets to this stage.

I’ve read about how much food you need to take in for breakfast. What I mean is breakfast is the heaviest meal of the day. But it’s hard for me to practice this. If I eat the same food for lunch, I’ll feel it’s just enough, but for breakfast, I’ll feel very full (& overeat). A friend of mine even feel surprised I eat so little food for breakfast.

Are all these habits nurtured since young or are they related to our genes?

That’s great to know! I hope you learn more on your future visits
