Facebook Graph API feed not working

I'm completely new to Facebook Graph API.

I'm trying to use the Graph API Explorer: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/

I got the token, I'm using GET method and version 2.5 of FQL, and following is the query itself:

me?fields=id,name,picture,feed

The result from that query unfortunately only includes the id, name and picture but does not include the posts. I also tried to write "posts" instead of "feed", but the result was the same.

This is what I get:

{
   "id": "123456789",
    "name": "John Smith",
    "picture": {
            "data": {
              "is_silhouette": false,
              "url": "https://fbcdn-profile-a.akamaihd.net/very-long-url"
            }  
      } 
}

As you can see, nothing about the posts.

I also tried to open a new Chrome tab and go directly to this URL:

https://graph.facebook.com/me/feed?access_token=very-long-token

And this is what I get for that:

{
   "data": [

   ]
}

What am I doing wrong?

Any help will be profoundly appreciated!

Did you try with user_posts permission? Maybe you forgot this...

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.6/user/feed

Your app needs user_posts permission from the person who created the post or the person tagged in the post. Then your app can read: Timeline posts from the person who gave you the permission. The posts that other people made on that person Timeline. The posts that other people have tagged that person in.

Cheers
