"Eating a large protein/fat based breakfast with as few carbs as possible as soon as you get up regardless of being a "breakfast person" or not"
As much as this might have helped you, this advice isn't going to work for everyone. Breakfast being the most important meal of the day was an advertising slogan, after all, and it isn't like dieticians are going to try to convince someone to eat breakfast if they are generally healthy.
For me, your advice means that I eat more during the day. I'm most hungry in the evening, so that's when I eat more.

- globular-toast 5y agoThere might have been some truth to the importance of breakfast, but it's completely outdated advice for most people. People are sitting down for 90% of their lives, with the occasional slow walk to the coffee machine or car, but eating like they're working in the fields for 10 hours every day.

For example, this article discusses fasting to reset jet lag https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/resetting-your-circadian-clock-to-minimize-jet-lag-2016090810279 https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/resetting-your-circadian...
- pydry 5y agoI dont think nutrition-wise breakfast really makes any difference and I'm likewise extra triple skeptical of corporate "advice" but it has helped greatly to modulate my sleeping patterns. It helps my body get attuned to falling asleep and waking up when I schedule it. First few times it feels horrible but it's worth fighting through that knot in my stomach.
