Jesus Christ said, Break my Bread, and partake.
Take my blood(wine) and partake.
I realize carbohydrates....noodles, bread, potatoes, are under suspicion...
So is oil, which is a large part of bread making.....
Whole grains, are best, oil with no poly-unstaurates.
or hydrogenen......whatever.
Olive Oil.........ok.
I love french bread....with garlic etc.
What is the correct dining choice......
Breakfast
Lunch and Dinner
I am wondering......

I've researched this for a couple of decades, and eat what I preach. My days
go like this:
BREAKFAST:
4-8 ounces of very lean meat, generally fish or skinless poultry,
occasionally extra lean, trimmed red meat.
A pound or two of veggies of many bright colors.
A heap of whole grain bread (what's not to like about fresh hot honey whole
wheat walnut raisin bread?) smothered in seasoned oil, generally walnut
and/or olive.
If I eat a dessert, it's low in sat fat, such as a big bowl of strawberry
shortcake with angel-food cake and fat-free whipped cream.
The actual FORM of those meals includes separate servings or a huge variety
of stir frys, Mexican dishes, Italian (whole grain pasta, of course),
casseroles, salads, etc. We use the grille a lot (yeah, I know), and use
many kinds of sauces and seasonings and low-fat cheeses for flavor.
I swapped breakfast and supper 20 years ago, and from the very first day I
have yet to get sleepy after lunch. I also sleep far better at night. You'll
see why.
LUNCH:
Beans (a wide variety -- one of nature's best foods, IMO), peanut butter
sandwich, fruit, yogurt, 1% milk, etc.
SUPPER:
Cereal. Whole grain, of course, 1/4-1/3 of a box (1/2 during peak sports
season), heaped with something like a pound of fruit and nuts (mostly
walnuts for their omega 3s) under a pint of 1% milk -- plus enough sugar or
Equal that it's sweet, as cereal SHOULD be, for me.
About once a week it's other breakfast fare instead of cereal -- pancakes,
grits, eggs, oatmeal, etc.
The size and variety of that breakfast supports me all day, and its protein
helps keep me awake in those PM meetings. OTOH, the carbs in that supper
help me sleep, as they generate serotonin.
It's very hard to overeat on that kind of "diet", so I eat all I want all
the time, including an extra meal or two when I'm playing or working long
and hard.
What DON'T I eat? Manufactured crap and sat- and trans-fats. This "diet" has
been proven time and time again as the only "diet" that extends our life
spans (and thus our vigor in our late years). And, oh yeah ... the OTHER
half of the package is exercise.
