    Because both Europeans and Americans basically eat more nutritious foods. I usually don't eat too much, and I am used to drinking afternoon tea.

    When you are hungry, you will eat in time. The main reason for being tall and strong is genetics. The ancestors of the past were very tall, and the inheritance will naturally be very high.

    However,Europeans love bread, milk, and beef。These foods are superior to other foods like rice, total calcium, energy, etc. In addition, they are taller than us and stronger than us, because of the genetic differences between Caucasians and yellows, which cause differences in body size.

    The main foods of Europeans are steak, cheese, and baby potatoes. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

    According to statistics, the global potato output will reach 100 million tons in 2016, and the annual potato output in Chinese mainland will be close to 100 million tons, ranking first in the world. The United States, which relies heavily on potatoes, produces only 20 million tons, compared to 100 million tons in Europe as a whole.

    Livestock accounts for a high proportion of agricultural output in many European countries。The UK accounts for 70%, the Netherlands, Denmark.

    and other countries are world-famous dairy cow countries. Europeans love dairy products and beef and lamb. Foods such as steak, cream, cheese, etc., are common at the table, which is closely related to developed animal husbandry. A person's eating habits are developed from an early age.

    It is enough for Europeans to eat only two meals, the food is very nutritious every day, and their stomachs are slowly getting used to it。Just like us Chinese, we are used to three meals a day and are used to white flour rice, but foreigners are not used to it. In fact, each place and country has different living habits, so how to be comfortable.

    Europeans also eat three meals a day, but Europeans like to eat bread, milk and beef, these foods are better than other foods such as rice we eat, the overall calcium, energy, etc., and then go up to the body size difference caused by the genetic differences between Caucasian people and yellow people, so Europeans will be taller and more powerful than us.

    Europeans and Americans basically eat foods that are more calorie-rich and nutritious.

    I usually don't eat very full, I am used to eating afternoon tea, and I usually eat in time when I am hungry.

    The main reason for being tall and powerful is genetic inheritance, and the previous ancestors were large, and the inherited ones would naturally be tall.

    As the saying goes, people are iron and rice is steel, and three meals a day are something that everyone must experience. But in fact, the history of the habit of eating three meals a day is not very long, at most it is more than 100 years old. It was not until the late Qing Dynasty that three meals a day began to be formed.

    Before that, Chinese had always eaten two meals a day. So, why is there two meals a day, and why does it continue to have a history of more than 3,000 years?

    China is a country with a very developed agricultural civilization, and in ancient times, it has always paid attention to the habit of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. In other words, the time when the ancients got up and rested was similar to the law of the sun. Generally speaking, people go out to work in the fields at 8 o'clock and rest at about 7 o'clock in the evening.

    This was the case not only for the peasants, but also for the emperor who was high up at the time. People eat two meals a day, once in the morning and the other around 2 p.m. Because of the long interval between them, they were all about eating well at that time.

    Since the Shang Dynasty, people have gradually formed the habit of eating two meals a day. This habit was not broken until the late Qing Dynasty, and under the action of external forces. At that time, breakfast was called morning food, which means to get up in the morning and eat.

    What is dinner called? 食, that is, to sleep after eating. This pattern continued until the Song Dynasty, which had a very developed commodity economy.

    The curfew in the evening was lifted, and people had the habit of eating a late-night snack, which had a little taste of a third meal.

    However, supper is a treat only for the residents of the city. For the peasants outside the city, they still go to bed after eating. The following Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties also followed this model until the outbreak of the Opium War.

    After the Opium Wars, the Qing Dynasty was forced to open its borders. Western culture began to infiltrate the Qing Dynasty, including Western eating habits. At that time, the West had already begun to have three meals a day, and changes began to occur within the Qing Dynasty, and three meals a day began to gradually become popular.

    In fact, the Qing Dynasty accepted three meals a day was also a practical need, first of all, the beginning of modernization, people's labor time greatly increased. The previous model of two meals a day is no longer enough to ensure that people can replenish their energy while working. In addition, nightlife is gradually becoming more abundant, and people are no longer eating and sleeping.

    In this way, in the late Qing Dynasty, three meals a day were gradually formed. Of course, it is not completely popular, and when some literati wrote travelogues, they found that the people in the southwest and northwest regions still had two meals a day.

    In today's society, people have long been accustomed to three meals a day. Some people also like to go out at night to eat supper, which is considered the fourth meal. Of course, there are also some people who choose to eat two meals a day.

    Some people are reluctant to eat it for the sake of **. There are also Taoist priests who practice in the mountains, and I have to say that Taoist friends still continue the habit of eating two meals a day, especially Quan Zhen.

    To a large extent, the ancients did not eat several meals a day for the sake of health, but were restricted by material conditions and social behavior. In the era when materials were not abundant, the ancients mostly used the "two meals a day" system. Until the pre-Qin period, ordinary people's homes were "two-meal system".

    Of these two meals, the first meal is called "morning food", which is called "gluttony", and the second meal is "feeding", which is called "飧". The food custom of "three meals a day" began after the Wei and Jin dynasties, but it was really popularized in the Sui and Tang dynasties. At this time, the folk basically had three meals a day, which was almost no different from the modern concept of "three meals system".

It's not all about women. It's just that fickle women are more fickle than men because, in general, the emotional areas of the brain structure in women's physiological structure are more developed than men, so women are more sensitive to emotional reactions and more emotional than men; Men have more developed rational areas of the brain than women, which makes men more inclined to use actions to illustrate intentions, while women are more inclined to express themselves verbally or emotionally.
