    It's okay to skip it if you want. It's okay to eat it if you want. Breakfast is one of those things that's personal preference.

    You do what you like. Meal timing is irrelevant for weight loss.

    What time you break your fast dosnt matter, all that matters is that you do eventually break your fast.

    I agree with everyone ... I like breakfast on the weekends because I can sit down and enjoy it with my family but on weekdays I just pack a few snacks the night before and if I feel like eating or I get hungry then I have a few things available but I never have a proper (or even a slightly proper) breakfast.

    I skip it! I can't stand to eat in the morning, so it's just calories that I didn't want in the first place!

    Exactly. Consider your calories/macros etc for the whole day and budget them for however/whenever you want (for weight loss). If skipping breakfast saves you 200 cals for when your head touches the pillow that night, you will be on track to loosing weight.

    I am a breakfast person only because I am hungry in the mornings because I eat dinner early in the evening. Like everyone else said eat when you get hungry!

    How late do you eat at night? Are you a night owl? Do you get most of your calories in the evening/night?

    Like everyone else said, meal timing is a preference thing and nothing more. I regularly break my daily fast at 11am with my biggest meal of the day.

    I can take it or leave it however, I do get that funny blood sugar drop feeling if I go too long without something. I find that routine is best for me. I have 2 slices of high fiber toast with butter and a cup of coffee at my desk during the week most mornings:) Eggs with toast and coffee on the weekends.

    Yep, like everyone said, it's personal preference and how it affects you. Maybe experiment for a week with it and a week without it and see which is easier or if you are hungrier either way.

    I eat it because I enjoy it and usually feel like eating in the morning.

    I like eating breakfast of an evening. I'm never hungry of a morning and usually in a rush. I can easily stay fasted for six hours or so after I've woken up. But I love Breakfast food such as cereal and Full English Breakfasts (toast, bacon, sausage, eggs, beans, mushrooms, ketchup etc), I just eat them in the evening when I have time to relax and enjoy them.

    I feel better and have more energy when I've eaten in the morning. Also, when I allow myself to get starving hungry, I tend to make poorer choices about how much and what kind of food to eat, so skipping meals tends to backfire for me and can trigger a binge. So I eat breakfast. If you don't have those problems, then it won't hurt to save your calories for later in the day.

    On weekdays, I have breakfast by 7:30, but on weekends, my husband and I usually have brunch instead of 2 separate meals. Find what works for you - you might find after logging for a while that you see more positive results from one over the other.

    For me, if I don't have something to eat in the morning, I end up crashing before lunch. Usually just a Fiber One brownie is enough, unless I'm going to be exercising first thing.

    Some people can't go without breakfast, some people just can't bring themselves to eat first thing in the morning. How you divide you daily calories is up to you, do whatever it is that works best for you.

    My previous trainer touted the old maxim, “Eat Breakfast Like a King, Lunch Like a Prince, and Dinner Like a Pauper”. It got me started eating breakfast, although it's still not my biggest meal of the day. My natural inclination is to eat more at the evening meal, although this concerns me because it's closest to bed time/inactivity.

    If you like eating in the a.m. then do that. If someone forced me to eat in the morning, I might have to kill them because I do not like eating until much later in the day.
