How many breakfasts can a breakfast fan eat?

I'm a lover of pretty much all things breakfast. Belgium waffles? Sure, where's the syrup? Pancakes? Yes, please. Oatmeal? Absolutely. Rye toast? Just give me some peanut butter. Cereal? Any time, anywhere. I really enjoy breakfast. In fact, I regularly eat breakfast for dinner. I've been known to make a quick egg sandwich, or some egg white pancakes, or even just pour myself a bowl of cereal for dinner. Simply put, I love me some breakfast. To that end, I read a recent Times article about the "Second Breakfast," and yes, I'm guilty of being a second breakfast eater too! The article discusses how Americans are treating themselves to smaller breakfasts and then eating a snack or a second breakfast later in the morning. I guess the key here is "smaller." I suppose if you consume two equally large breakfasts, you'd really be doing more harm than good, but I tend to be in support of a second breakfast. I actually think I might be a third breakfast kind of girl. I tend to mostly work out in the mornings, so I usually eat a couple pieces of this special egg white Belgium fruit waffle I make (recipe forthcoming)  before I work out. Then, after I bust my butt at the gym, I'm ravenous, so I tend to eat a full breakfast (oatmeal, or chiobani, or cereal, or eggs) around 8 a.m. But then, after I've made it to work, I'm usually starving again by 10-10:30 a.m. I try to arm myself with healthy snacks, but sometimes, a girl just needs some chocolate, or a perhaps a lemon square from Starbucks? Ugh, so there you go. I admit it. I'm not just a second breakfast eater, I'm a third breakfast eater. Please don't judge.

Here's the article for your reading pleasure.
