As in comparison to the old, "if you eat Chinese food, you'll be hungry again in an hour." if you eat a hearty breakfast with bacon, eggs, hash browns, whole grain toast, with fresh fruit, and wash it all down with a generous glass of milk, it'll "really stick to your ribs" - and you'll be able to work clear to lunchtime without having to stop for a snack. - this from the days, when the average American would get up early in the morning, eat a hearty breakfast, and then work hard until lunch, and work harder until dusk, before coming in for dinner.

A good meal was one with lots of proteins and complex carbohydrates, which would take the stomach a long time to digest, leaving the person feeling satisfied longer than the modern fast food diet which is based on two parts simple carbohydrates, one part grease, and a shot of espresso.

If my granddad had eaten a sausage mcmuffin, hash brown, and vente double whip half-caf frappuchino for breakfast, he woulda come in for lunch with his "stomach wrapped around his backbone." - which is from about the same era and refers to needing a meal that'll stick to your ribs.
