This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I've found that I'm actually less hungry throughout the day, if I skip breakfast. So, even when I then have lunch, I'm satiated much quicker.

My working theory is that my stomach shrinks when empty, in particular throughout the night. So, if I don't shove down breakfast in the morning:

My stomach can shrink even smaller until lunch.
There is less empty space in the non-stretched stomach, so less hunger.
When I do eat lunch, the smaller stomach fills up quicker, meaning I shove down less food for lunch, too, and therefore my stomach doesn't get particularly stretched until dinner either.
