Is it the first bit of food you pop into your mouth after waking up, no matter how small?
Would a single chocolate square be breakfast? A couple of peanuts? Or does it have to be something substantial, like a slice of bread? Where does the line lie?

If we are being literal, the letter of the law, then it is anything that breaks the fast. According to intermittent fasting rules, anything other than water or tea or black coffee breaks your fast. So, yes, one small chocolate can be a literal breakfast.
However, in the spirit of the law, breakfast as a true meal should be whatever it is that you eat to tide yourself over to the next meal. If you eat one chocolate upon waking and then nothing else until noon, then the chocolate is still breakfast. If you have chocolate and then later have bacon and eggs and toast, then the chocolate was an appetizer, not a meal. If you begin your day with a chocolate and then move on to beef and potatoes, then neither is breakfast but instead you are eating your day in reverse.

Assume a total of 2000 kilocalories per day.
That's 650 per meal for 3 meals and 500 for 4. Since meals tend to vary a lot and we're looking for a lower bound, I think 250 seems a reasonable line. "Or does it have to be something substantial, like a slice of bread?" What? A piece of bread is usually a 100 or less so you calling it "substantial" makes me think our concepts of reality might be a touch misaligned.  (My slices of home made bread, by the way, are totally divorced from my reality and probably yours as well.) Why, for me, this is totally theoretical:

breakfast is what I eat
when I haven't eaten for some long time. If you get in my way it might be you, with a side of hash browns, on buttered multigrain toast.

I like to have a high-fiber cereal
with almond milk and plain yogurt topped with fresh fruit just after my bottle of stout and morning cigarette

A breakfast of stout
and cigarettes are too high brow for me. I prefer two fingers-- make it four, of bourbon and, of course, organic fruit and sustainable granola.

I don't endorse cold pizza
on a cold and starving AM when a few minutes in a hot oven has it tasting like midnight again
Breakfast is the sum
of mounting hunger added despite the night against mother's advice only coffee and avarice pawns in another's fight Mid-night's oven passed, could I taste her again? I see breakfast in that Cherrios and milk grin. (10-05-2023, 01:10 PM)Tiger the Lion Wrote: I don't endorse cold pizzaThis was exceptional.

That's hard to figure out just when forgotten fingers number fingers? It's that clear stuff sloshing out of plastic bottles midnight comes again before or after breakfast mornings turn to midnight mourning breakfast.
