I mentioned this in another thread a week or so ago, just shows it is not just kelloggs marketing scam (though most of there cereals belong in the sweets section).

Rikishi (Sumos) are not normally allowed to eat breakfast and are expected to have a form of siesta after a large lunch. The most common type of lunch served is the traditional "sumo meal" of chankonabe which consists of a simmering stew cooked at table which contains various fish, meat, and vegetables. It is usually eaten with rice and washed down with beer. This regimen of no breakfast and a large lunch followed by a sleep helps rikishi put on weight so as to compete more effectively.

I expect they have found this over centuries of trying it, so if you want to be as big as a sumo avoid the breakfast, and hit the chinese after the boozer to get your rice in with the beer, then straight to bed.
