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.
What is skyr? Is it like yogurt? Is it nice?
Denser than a yoghurt, very similar to white cheese. Normal skyr is a bit too bitter for me but the flavoured ones are very good.
Similar to yoghurt. Low calories, very high in protein. Ideal breakfast if you are on a diet.
500g have like ~300 kcal and ~55g of protein.
That sounds really good, I'll have to keep an eye out to see if there is any in my area.
i remember going to spain with some relatives as a kid and damn i was perpetually starving because our breakfast was 1 slice of bread with coffee. maybe they just were cheap i guess.
Yeah, sounds likely.
