7pm in Tokyo - Katsu Bento

that looks tasty ^^. It looks like chuleta (pork) con arroz (with rice) y ensalada (salad), some of my favorite dishes from Colombia ^.^

Looks good, making me hungry.. darnnit

gaaah Danny just mase me hungry.
i never skip breakfast, maybe lunch at school if i need some extra cash, and if im really busy during dinner time i'll just eat in front of my computer.

Looks really good but I think I'd leave the prawns ^^;

Yum!!
I too skip breakfast as I'm either sleeping in till 1pm or just don't have time...

Where's the happy face? Or cute anime in your Bento box? Take it back and tell them you want a real Bento box Happy Meal!!

When I'm at the dorms I always have brunch or a light bowl of cereal if I have class early. Probably because I wake up really late.

I had one of those and maybe soon again since reading this post.

What a coincidence, Danny, I was thinking of getting a katsu bento for dinner, too.
How much was your bento?

Looks pretty good!

But...you get the runs when you skip a meal? I've never heard of that before. ^^;;

Eat N' Runs...?

That looks very tasty:) Probably better than the supper I had...

Damn... now I want to some katsu now... only problem is it's a Monday and the places I like to go to are closed today.

Tonkatsu! There sure is a lot of meat on your tonkatsu~

Looks tasty :3 I have all 3 of my meals at work. Its quite depressing and very unhealthy due to I either can spend time when I get home and make something (~11pm) or just bring snacks & microwave food. Wish they had an oven here ^^I

MIrai oppai mousepad yummy !!!!

mmmmm me and hubs had chicken katsu and california sushi + tamago sushi + gyoza bento yesterday Oiishii so ^o^!

Looks damn good, making me friggin hungry. A dessert of Index is great too.

Yeah same! Except I tend to pass out lol

Yum! Makes me wish the same thing was readily avaliable here; at least, as a cheap lunch option, instead of a pricey selection in a Japanese restaurant. I'm not a huge fan of pork, but I have a weakness for oyakodon! =w= Love the rice/fish/veggies/chicken etc you see in Japanese food. Guess I'm a bad Albertan since I'd rather eat that instead of beef, haha xD

What's the orange-cube-thingy in the bottom right corner, if you don't mind me asking? The colour makes me think egg, but then it looks too small for that.

How much it cost ?

Mmmm! I like tonkatsu a lot. We have a restaurant nearby that serves good lunch tonkatsu; includes the pork, some tempura veggies, salad, and a nice big plop of rice. Very good for a very good price.

Looks delicious, makes we want a bento. *Looks around, but is disappointed.*

It's quite important to eat enough. People go low on sugar and other stuff in the blood if they don't eat enough and that's not only unhealthy, but also counter productive. The mind isn't as sharp and it's even more dangerous to operate machinery or vehicles. Makes me wonder how many people in traffic accidents are low on food. I guess nobody counted that, but it would be interesting to know. Just like it's good to know that the human body wants to sleep at 4 to 4.30 AM even if you don't want to because say you drive a car. This is actually one of the most dangerous times to drive if you look at the number of accidents and compare it to the number of cars on the roads.

As for eating I get really ill if I don't eat. Usually it's a headache, but it can also hurt my stomack and I can even end up vomiting (that's rare though, maybe because I eat before that happens). Typically I eat a little when I wake up because my stomack isn't awake yet. If I eat too much while my stomack is still asleep I end up vomiting. This is not enough so I eat again at around 10 O'clock and have lunch at 12-13. Depending on my workload (yes, I get more hungry if I work hard), I eat again at 4. I eat dinner at 8 and usually something at 11 too before going to bed. I'm not fanatic about healthy food but I usually avoid snacks and stuff so I'm not fat even though I can end up eating a lot doing a day.

The tip of the day: The key to avoid being fat isn't not to eat, but it is in fact to eat. You have to eat lots of real food that contains little or no fat from animals while getting what you need. If you eat enough of the good stuff then it's easier to avoid the snacks. It's also way cheaper this way ^^

I'm perfectly fine whenever I skip meals. I've never had a problem skipping breakfast whenever I woke up REALLY late or something.

But, I know it's unhealthy. These days, I make a point of eating breakfast every day. If I am about to be late for school or work, I still just grab a bagel and throw it in the toaster for a minute. You can eat on the way.

hmmmm yummy! making me hungry

Looks good! I gotta get me some when I'm in Japan in a week ^^

This bento looks way too yummy :3. I never eat breakfast. I know that it is weird but whenever I do so, after taking the train I will have a stomachache which will eventually lead me to taking a dump at school T^T.

Yummy ^_^

you can't match my salmon bento XD

Pretty big bento and only 600 yen. It's not always expensive in Japan!

My mother always fusses at me about how i shouldnt skip breakfast

Oishi-sou~! I don't eat pork but I'll pretend it's all beef I'm looking at XD.
Long ago I read somewhere that skipping breakfast is bad for your heart. Haven't skipped it ever since.

Looks good. Too bad I can't find a place around here that does that. We have Japanese food restaurants but the entrees are sort of big so its not ideal if you are on the run. You know, maybe I should try taking a picture of the food I eat everyday, one for everyday of the year, kind of like what you did Danny.

Katsu mmmmmmmmmmm. I had Chicken Katsu Curry at Wagamama's, was very yummy. But there are too many yummy things to pick from at wagamama's.... I grade on which is easiest to eat lol. The chicken ramen I had first time I went was lovely, but took longer to eat that the Katsu Curry lol.
And I only skip breakfast if I've overslept.

I used to skip breakfast because it would give me an upset stomach and the runs as well but I made up for it later. It would bother me because I was never a morning person and as such my stomach would become extremely unhappy if I disturbed its sleep and let me know in the worst ways. Over the last 2.5 years I have been working a job that requires me to go into work at 3am and I have had no choice but to eat on my way in because the work environment I am in is kept at a cool -30F/-34.4C and I need as much energy as I can get prior to going into that environment to handle the cold plus the physical demands of my job. During the work day I eat a total of five meals, 1 prior to work, 3 at work, and one after work. In a normal work day I burn through about 5k calories which is pretty close to what Alaskan fishermen go through in a given day.

As you say, many Japanese tends to skip breakfast. Epecialiy girls on a diet.

Mirai oppai pad spotted!!

Breakfasst is the most important meal of the day, and yummy food Danny

Skipping meals is bad for me--I turn snarky, depressive, and sleepy. Not good. It's doubly bad for breakfast; I'm one of those people who wakes up hungry.

By the way, your food photos always make me hungry. Great. Now I have to go see if my chicken's defrosted.

This time I'm reading DC after dinner. ^^

And I never skip a meal. Sometimes I eat some snack instead of having lunch but I do try to compensate it by eating more at breakfast and at dinner.

So, I see your Mirai mousepad there, when are you gonna talk about that?

Hmm. Craving for some katsu right now.

We could use some more pics of that mousepad of yours right there. :D

That tends to happen to me if I lack a full meal as well.
Delicious bento there

Looks delicious! Strange about the runs from skipping a meal though. Maybe regular doses of yogurt would rebalance the intestinal flora.

A little bit of everything. Definitely like that one. ^^

Just skipped my breakfast... >,<

If I skip breakfast my stomach makes a ruckus...loud enough for anyone next to me to hear...

That looks really good! ^^ Now I'm hungry!

Looks really delicious. I tend to skip breakfast since I always wake up late for school. ^^;

I always skip breakfast because my morning time is quite tight but I never skip lunch and dinner unless there is a reason for me not to get hungry.

that looks good

D: Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day, other than dessert.

Anything with rice looks good to me. I skip breakfast a lot, but by lunch I'm starving.

Skipping meals give you the runs?? Oh crap, is that why I'm... uh, I mean...
Anyway, making sure I'll have my bread for breakfast tomorrow morning >.>

ahh that looks nice, there are so many variety of bentou, love the variety mix ones..
I bought a few bentou's from 7-11 and Lawson when I couldn't be bothered traveling to the next station to eat dinner or lunch.

I have my breakfast & lunch together, so called Brunch~~~~~~~

I eat when I feel like it.

...which is pretty often.

Hi, there. :D
It seems to be delicious. <3333333333333333

Breakfast is the most important meals of the day if you skip it you will feel tired and can block your thinking also.

Look tasty Danny but not for me since Im a vegetarian :3 It's good for health you know.

*Crawls to kitchen for dinner*

i sure want one of that...hungry..

Katsu Bento = GOOD!

i know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day but i tend to skip it because i'm too sleepy to eat during the morning so i let out all my hunger when lunch time comes^^

hmmmm it looks soooo goood.

Katsu - curry bento FTW ~ !!

Hmzz, delicious bento =3

makes my o-naka very suita >_<

That bentou is NiSu. ^^ I can't work on anything without filling my stomach first too.

Skipped breakfast these days..due to waking up too late for it...

Jeez, the runs just for skipping a meal? O_o
I try to eat 3 meals a day but sometimes I'm just not really that hungry and I'm better off not eating a meal (usually lunch).

I love katsu. I usually order that when I go to a Japanese restaurant.

Quite appetizing. (runs to kitchen to fix a bite, no pun intended. lol). I usually try to have toast or something for breakfast(to settle my stomach).

wow that looks good

I work at restraunt so yea :D
