> It's true that breakfast kicks starts your metabolism and helps prevents you from snacking through the day or gorging at lunchtime.
No it really isn't true0 -
breakfast is not the most important meal ..
just eat when you are hungry and don't worry about meal timing...0 -
It's true that breakfast kicks starts your metabolism and helps prevents you from snacking through the day or gorging at lunchtime. Plus it depends what your goals are. I personally need a good breakfast in order to fuel my muscles for the day ahead and it always includes eggs or oats or sometimes both. Everyone is different tho and eat when you feel like eating but just make good food choices x
total bro science….
what about body builders that do IF and don't eat for first 16-18 hours of the day? Are they not "fueling" their muscles….0 -

The former statement? Not true. The latter? Not for everyone (in my case it does, but others feel the urge to snack FROM eating early).0 -

Hmmm maybe I have been led down the bro science path by my PT then. To get me to my target weight I was eating every 3 hours with a big breakfast. But thinking about it, that could be why I'm now so strict on myself with timings. Maybe it's time to relax the meal plan a bit and see how I get on. Thanks.0 -
I love breakfast but not exactly at 9am or so. it may b at 10:30am or 11am and I skip my lunch because of it as I feel full by lunch time

well, just because someone is a PT does not make them versed in nutrition or science….hell, some PT's don't even seem to know what they are doing when it come to training < but that is just based on observations at my gym…
the eat every three hours thing is bro-science too. Meal timing for the average person, even the average person that is training, is pretty irrelevant. Now, if you are a sports or performance athlete, meal timing may have some importance…

Eat breakfast. Even if it is just a banana. I used to not eat breakfast. When I hit menopause my metabolism STOPPED and even though I did not drink sodapop, I exercised and ate whole grains only I gained about 100 lbs. I went to weightwatchers and they said EAT BREAKFAST and EAT BACK YOUR CALORIES and low an behold, I started to lose weight. It is VERY VERY slow, but unless I eat breakfast and eat back some of my exercise calories I gain weight.
So as an older woman who used to skip breakfast to a younger woman I say: EAT BREAKFAST.0 -
My question would be why do you feel ill in the mornings? That issue aside skipping breakfast isn't a big deal. Eat when you like.
I'm not the OP, but I'm another person who always feels slightly ill in the mornings. I usually blame it on post-nasal drip, but I'm not sure that's the case. I'm not hungry for breakfast for quite a few hours after waking most days, and I'm much happier exercising on an empty stomach.
Just to throw personal experience into the discussion, eating early tends to make me hungrier throughout the day. A delayed breakfast seems to regulate my appetite better.

your metabolism stopped, really? Did you put some jumper cables on it and give it a jump to get it started again?
Your metabolism NEVER stops…slows down through adaptive thermogenesis yes, stop, no.
wow, it really is new years on the forums…

I like to have protein in the morning just to help with maintaining muscle but you don't have to0

ORLY? Speaking as a menopausal woman with thyroid disease, chronic fatigue, and autoimmune arthritis ... I put on weight because I was eating more than I burned, not because I was eating breakfast close to lunch time. I still eat breakfast late, but I count my calories, and I'm losing weight.
When I eat my breakfast has NOTHING to do with my metabolism. My metabolic deck is stacked against me, but I'm eating at a deficit, and lo and behold, I'm losing weight.

^This. Your metabolism isn't a switch to turn off and on. Stop reading magazines at the checkout line in the grocery store...0 -

As another menopausal woman that's lost over 120 lbs .. eat breakfast if you want and that helps you adhere to your plan, don't eat it if you don't want to. I choose not to and it works perfectly for me.
You gained 100 lbs because you ate more than you burned off. Stop using menopause as an excuse.0 -
you need to eat something , even if its something small, like a banana and have a lot of water0
