/u/Princess_Leiaa's family in a nutshell, except for her thin shitlady grandma. In the time of the old photo albums, wherein everyone is thin, the traditional breakfast of biscuits, gravy and sausage--high-carb and high-calorie like Pima food--was filling enough for 12 hours of farm work (which is why the Mexican Pima are thin despite a 2200-2300 calorie diet), during which their midday snacks were either low-calorie (apples) or protein-dense (cheese), after which they had dinner (a high-protein pot of beans). Dinner was something they eventually got around to--like my thin uncles with ADD who forget to eat when intensely focused on something--not something they panicked about.
The current family can't go for half that long without eating a massive lunch after their breakfast. Either it's because their stomachs are stretched out like Boogie2988's so a normal-calorie diet isn't filling to them, they habitually go eat a lot even when they're not hungry because they're fatties, or some combination thereof.
With their current lifestyle, they can't afford to be eating the "traditional diet." They should be eating like the Thai cook who had a boiled egg on a rice ball drizzled with fish sauce for dinner.
