I tried the &quot;breakfast as the largest meal&quot; before, but I couldn&#x27;t get by not eating much for dinner.  A large breakfast made me hungry by mid-day, and so I&#x27;d eat more, by the time dinner came around, it was a light salad or some other low calorie food, which affected my insomnia.  I can&#x27;t sleep hungry, I&#x27;ll stay awake, and miserable all night.<p>On the other hand, I found being hungry in the morning is short term, and once I got into a project at work or something, I just forgot about it. A light, later lunch (up at 4am, lunch at noon), and a big dinner, and It&#x27;s not hard at all.<p>I think this just illustrates that there are actual differences between people.  Maybe the primary difference for me is my insomnia. Some people don&#x27;t have crashes several hours after eating a big breakfast, and they stay satiated longer.
