So I went to the doctor, and when I told him the strange hours I work, he wanted to put me on a meal schedule.
Now, I am a nightshifter, and usually wake up between noon and 1 pm. He tells me "Have a breakfast meal", as in traditional breakfast type food.
The trouble is I don't like a lot of traditional beakfast foods. I have to drown oatmeal in sugar to make it remotely palatable, cereal leaves me ravenously hungry an hour or two later, nor do I care for fried eggs, and while I like pancakes, I can't have them every day, nor do I have the time to make them every couple of days.
So just WHY do we have to eat only certain foods for breakfast? Is there really some health reason behind it, or is it strictly cultural?
