And guess what, the first meal you’re eating is breaking your fast so the logic still checks out
Except that whatever meal you eat to break your fast isn't necessarily important.
In France and I think Spain, they "break their fast" most often with a coffee and a pastry. Is that coffee and pastry the most important meal of the day?
The first thing I eat to break my fast for the day is kinda important it gives me energy to start my day. And a coffee and pastry sounds like a good way to do it
Sure, every meal is "kinda important". But, if you had to give one up, probably giving up the coffee and pastry would be easier than giving up the main large meal with all the important nutrients.
I think it’s subjective
I'm amazed at the number of people who need "break fast" explained to them. So many people use so many words without the slightest clue what they even mean.
I think "break fast" is one of those things you don't know until you do. You can know what a word means without guessing its etymology.
I never really thought about it because knowing people who worked night shifts still called it breakfast meant it was probably some holdover that didn't mean what it originally meant. When someone pointed that out in my 20s my first thought was "why would not eating while sleeping be considered fasting"?

This is the norm, most people spend as little time as possible thinking about useless shit.
Wish I could do that.
