Does the saying, ‘You should have breakfast like a king, lunch like a common man and dinner like a pauper’ have any scientific basis?

This saying is surely based on the scientific facts. In the morning our basal metabolism is at its peak and so are our requirements. As the day progresses the requirements decline and by the night our requirements reach the lowest ebb with decrease in the physical activities. Things eaten in abundance at this fag end of the day won’t be utilised fully, leading to a sensation of bloating of tummy. Or else it would get deposited as fat, leading to obesity. Therefore never leave for school/college without having breakfast.
