The idea that “bread is two times a day but meals are three” touches on a common cultural or traditional eating pattern — but nutrition-wise, here’s a clearer breakdown:
🍽️ How many times a day should you eat?
There’s no universal number that applies to everyone, but most people do well with 3 balanced meals per day:
- Breakfast
- Lunch
- Dinner
Some people add:
- 1–2 snacks, especially if they have high energy needs or long gaps between meals.
Ultimately, the best eating frequency depends on:
- Your personal health goals
- Activity level
- Any medical conditions (e.g. diabetes, acid reflux)
- Satiety and hunger cues
⏳ How long should you stay hungry between meals?
Generally, a person should feel hungry about 3–5 hours after eating a balanced meal. That’s a sign your digestion is working normally.
Here’s a typical breakdown:
- Meal every 4–5 hours works for many people.
- Too little time (like eating every hour) may lead to overeating or insulin spikes.
- Too much time (7–8+ hours) might result in low energy, overeating at the next meal, or muscle breakdown in some people.
🥖 What about “bread twice a day”?
This might refer to how bread is typically eaten (e.g., breakfast and lunch) in some diets or cultures. But there’s no rule requiring bread only twice a day. What matters more is the quality of your meals — whole grains, protein, healthy fats, and fiber.
✅ In summary:
- Aim for 3 main meals per day, with optional healthy snacks.
- Space meals about 4–5 hours apart.
- Eat when you’re genuinely hungry, not just out of habit or boredom.

🧠 Who are they called — and what does hibakusha mean?
The survivors of the 1945 Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings are known by the Japanese term “hibakusha” (被爆者), literally meaning “explosion-affected persons” (The Times, Wikipedia).
Officially recognized by Japan’s Atomic Bomb Survivors Relief Law, hibakusha include those who were within a few kilometers of the blast, exposed via fallout, or carried in utero at the time (Wikipedia).
How many are still alive today (August 6, 2025)?
