The
discussion
of
appetite
brings
up
the
question
of
the
number
of
meals
that
is
proper
for
each
day.
The
prevailing
system
of
three
meals
per
day
is
a
custom
surviving
from
a
time
in
which
early
rising
and
hard
physical
labor
throughout
a
long
day
was
the
rule,
especially
in
connection
with
out-of-door
work.
This
does
not
mean,
however,
that
three
meals
is
always
the
best
plan
for
civilized
life
in
sedentary
occupations.
There
are
some
wild
races
that
eat
only
two
meals
per
day,
and
there
have
been
instances
of
hunters
and
even
whole
populations
following
the
one-meal-per-day
plan.
Naturally
at
the
present
time
the
occupation
and
the
requirements
of
the
individual
would
have
much
to
do
with
the
question.
If
one
does
hard
work,
has
an
appetite
for
three
meals
per
day,
and
seems
to
thrive
on
that
plan,
it
is
the
preferable
one.
If,
however,
you
are
a
sedentary
worker,
and
especially
if
you
do
not
have
an
appetite
for
three
meals
per
day
and
cannot
thoroughly
enjoy
them,
the
two-meal-per-day
plan
would
be
much
better.
The
two-meal-
per-day
plan
has
often
proven
beneficial
even
when
associated
with
the
strenuous
physical
training
required
for
athletic
competition
in
racing,
wrestling,
boxing,
Marathon
running
and
other
vigorous
sports.
It
is
entirely
a
question
of
appetite.
If
you
have
no
appetite
for
breakfast
then
follow
the
two-meal-per-day
plan.
I
will
say,
however,
that
in
many
cases
one
can
enjoy
and
profit
by
a
breakfast
of
fruit.
