Rashi and Seforno: The Torah is teaching us Derech Eretz - that it is in order to eat one's bread (which constitutes one's staple diet) to satisfaction, but not one's meat, which is a luxury 1 (that also explains why Hashem sent the quails at night and bread in the morning - Yoma, 75a). 2

To break with the way of the Egyptians, who cared only about self-indulgence (Seforno).

See also Torah Temiah, note 14 & 15.

Why did Moshe add "bi'Shemo'a Hashem es Telunoseichem", which is obvious?
