i may have a wrong impression but dont europeans go very light on breakfast already?

[-] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 year ago

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.

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.

What is skyr? Is it like yogurt? Is it nice?

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.
