Re: Meals
BTW, I’m reading a book ‘Ahd e nabavi main Tamaddun’.. details are given in thread ‘what are you reading’ last page.. That book tells that during 6th / 7th century, Arabs they have one main meal in day. You would come across many ahadees, where Prophet and his family had water or just a date at the time of iftaar, as they had given the only available roti or food item to some poor person. So, I personally don’t buy that people can;t be energetic just on one meal a day.
Apart form this, when we analysis ancient men who lived on hunting, it was not possible for them to have three meals a day. They might be having some fruits, etc in their vicinity, but having proper meals for three times at that time is beyond my understanding.
Back then food wasn’t easily available. But what about people who were wealthy back then and had food available whenever they want. Did they eat 3 meals ?
