The first
Thanks
I said before the rules says we don't use articles before meals like this'
I ate bread for breakfast.
My question again can we put a or an or the between for and the meal?

Thanks in advance
sorry for bothering you.
You're not bothering me.
But you say you are lost. I was just suggesting you think a little.
Other people are thinking a lot for you, and I was simply asking for you to contribute.
And my question again is: What do you think is the answer to your three questions, and why?
Hint: The answer is in posts #7 and #9.

There's no best.
They are three different sentences. All of them are grammatical, and if they are used in the right context, they are all meaningful.
But they don't mean the same thing - which should not be surprising.

PS: Doesn't arabic have articles? If so, doesn't it sometimes use them, and sometimes not? And doesn't it change the meaning? And if it does, can't you see that changing the article (or no article) changes the meaning? So, there is no best. There is the meaning without the article, and the meaning with.

Please use a normal font size.
It really starts to annoy me.

I would not put anything between for and meal.
I ate bread for meal.

Cheers!
I agree with you about the font. But your sentence is wrong.
You need to say "a/the meal".
