Why does spaghetti bolognaise make you feel a bit sick if you eat it at 9am?

Hmmmm..... I wonder?

I have often mused gently on this same subject in the recent past. Kids do not seem to grasp the concept of time and food. Pizza is often a breakfast request, cereal for dinner and on and on. Many of the foods we eat are made of the same ingredients, but the way we combine them dictates when they are eaten. Strange.

Personally I need to be fully conscious for about an hour before I eat anything. Certainly spaghetti at some early hour would make me want to puke.

Funnily enough, this is pretty much how I used to eat. Not because I didn't have any concept of time, but because I'm lazy. Nowadays, I tend to stay away from leftover pizza for breakfast, mostly because now I'm trying to eat more healthily I stay away from pizza as much as I can. Also if I have pizza, I pretty much always devour the whole thing, leaving none for breakfast.

If you listen to a decent nutritionist, they'll tell you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And they'd be right. They might also tell you that if you were serious about losing weight you would, amoung many other things that calorie tapering is the way to go. Your body needs a lot of energy in the morning, because you have been fasting all night (sleeping) and it needs less energy into the evening. So your first meal should really contain the most amount of calories, and your last meal the least.

So it definately seems strange that like many people, I never feel like eating when I get up. However, if I'm gonna eat every three hours, I really need to eat within the first hour of waking. As it doesn't really matter what sort of meal I have every three hours, providing it's decent food, and the portion is the right size, I don't see why I can't have spaghetti bolognaise for breakfast. As I eat every three hours, I never feel really full, but at the same time, I'm not ever hungry. So the next meal is just after three hours, no matter what you feel like. It's really strange, not ever feeling like eating, but eating nonetheless, and not feeling full!

But my junk food consumption has gone right down. I've you have stock in cadbury's and haribo, I suggest you sell it soon.

I realised I went off topic a little there. Other foods don't normally make me feel sick as much, it was a microwave meal after all, it probably wasn't that aehlthy, although it's definately better than cold pizza!

Spag Bol is made of worms and their expulsions. That's why it made you feel sick.

That, and the fact that you should cook it first.
