Do we have to eat particular food in order? Is it really that important to eat cereal at breakfast and a sandwich at lunch time?

I am wondering as this morning I had a lie-in.

DH let DD eat for her breakfast
1 yoghurt
1 banana
1 orange
1 mini baby bel

and now at snack time when she would have the above, he is doing scrambled egg on toast.

She has been known to have noodles and dumplings for breakfast before because she wanted them and DH likes her to eat what she wants.

I started to tell him she should have had had the toast and egg for breakfast and her breakfast now. And then I thought...

Why on earth does it matter what order she eats it in? She had what she wanted for breakfast, did not want any more and now she is hungry so is having something else. It is healthy food so does it actually matter?

What do you think?

this thread is making me hungry

I don't think it matters.

I had a prawn and avocado salad courtesy of Sainsbury's this morning as I knew I wouldn't get anything for breakfast otherwise. I have just had srit fry veggies for lunch so a bit more normal.

my PILs find it hilarious that i have hot chocolate with my breakfast. they consider it to be a bed time drink...and then when i dip my croissant in my BOWL of hot chocolate their jaws are on the floor!

It doesn't matter but when I started doing low-carb weight loss I realised just how much our culture dictates cereal/toast for breakfast and bread/carb based lunches.
On the continent they have cold meat and cheese for breakfast. Among other things.
