    I eat breakfast because I have to. I'm hypoglycemic, so if I don't eat, there are side effects. :(

    There are no benefits to breakfast unless you happen to enjoy eating breakfast, or have a condition in which you must keep your blood sugar levels stable. Some people in fact end up eating more throughout the day when they eat breakfast. What matters is healthy nutrition throughout the week and creating an adequate deficit to lose weight.

    Yay! In for internet plagiarism from some derpy pseudoscience.

    No matter what time of day, I always manage to eat a first meal of the day. It usually doesn't occur until close to noon, though.

    Does that still count?

    I was thinking the same thing. So the only way to skip your first meal of the day ("Breakfast") is to not eat for the entire day.

    Personally if I eat breakfast I am starving the entire rest of the day if i wait and eat closer to 10 or 11 then I will be ok

    Frankily comes down to if I eat breakfast I have to make my lunch and dinner smaller to accomodate eating breakfast calories which in turns means I don't eat as much at lunch and dinner which makes me super hungry

    SO for the most part i skip breakfast

    All good points and studies do show that most people do better eating breakfast. But it's important to remember that not everyone falls into the category of "most people". And if you are one of the minority and force yourself to eat breakfast you may just be adding calories that will ruin your diet.

    If you are hungry, don't skip breakfast just to save calories. But remember that it's not necessary for weight loss or health. As long as you are getting proper nutrition at some point in the day, you'll do fine.

    BTW, I did eat breakfast this morning (sometimes I do) and with 2 hours to go before lunch I am feeling very hungry. When I skip it I am usually not hungry. For me personally, there is something to the "once you light the fire you must feed the flames" school of thought.

    If I eat too soon after waking up, I feel sick to my stomach the rest of the day. If I eat too much (more than an egg and half a cup of greek yogurt) for breakfast, I feel sick to my stomach for the rest of the day. I'm sure for some (even a lot) of people it's great and all, but for me (and many others), it's far from "necessary."

    actually there is not...there is no evidence that eating breakfast first thing in the morning does anything for metabolism, flames, or anything else you want to call it..

    My analytic, rational mind agrees with you completely, but I still feel hungry...

    Breakfast is problematic for me. Glad it works for others, but it's rare that I want it and therefore rare that I eat it. For one thing, I don't like to eat if I'm not actually hungry. That goes against the whole thing I'm trying to accomplish here. For another, I want to eat all evening. If I eat breakfast, I am using up my calories early in the day when I don't even want them, and then feeling deprived in the evening when I just want to munch. I'd much rather have an early lunch when I actually get hungry.
