      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?

          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.
