Can we stop redirecting eating to here? I think it makes more sense to have separate articles just like book is not redirected to reading. -- Taku

sounds like a good idea. Presumably, you'd have "meal" about social customs and "eating" more about digestion and diet and so on? -- Tarquin 16:41, 4 Oct 2003 (UTC)

I guess. I am going to split it off. -- Taku

[edit] Courses

Some cultures also drink soup after main course.

Also, when I eat at a restaurant, the salad is before the main course. Any other information on this? 128.6.175.26 18:00, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Meals Tab

Am I the only one who thinks the "Meals" tab looks more like it was made by a Lord of the Rings geek than someone making a professional-looking encyclopedia? I.E. Pippin's rant in the first movie about "Breakfast, Second Breakfast, Elevenses, Luncheon, Afternoon Tea, Dinner, Supper". Nothing against Lord of the Rings geeks since I am myself one, but I just don't think it belongs here. Burnside65 22:00, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Amount of meals a day and plate composition

Normally 3 meals/day (of some 600 kcal per meal) with 4-6 hours recess and no snacks in between are recommended by BCM for an average person. See this site/diagram. Also, the plate of a course is recommended to be filled 1/2 with vegetables, 1/4th with protein-food (eg meat, soy, ...) and 1/4th with carbohydrate foods (eg pasta, rice, ...) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.246.136.92 (talk) 11:39, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
