i may have a wrong impression but dont europeans go very light on breakfast already?

It's just a metaphor; they should skip lunch and heating instead.

In the US, breakfast is a lot of people's entire personality. They like to worship their bacon here in Burgerland.

Compared to Americans? Probably.

I don't know how representative I am for the average European but I usually have some eggs or a cup of skyr with fruits and/or oats for breakfast.

Yeah, sounds likely.
