I'm not a morning person... at all. I never have time to make breakfast before heading to class. Is it OK to skip breakfast even though I still make up for the calories later? (At dinner time with shakes or ensure) or is it best to prepare my meal at night for in the morning?
I just want to know if it really makes a difference..

Skipping breakfast has been scientifically shown to slow down weight loss and actually make you retain weight. I am the same way. I choose to sleep an extra 10 minutes in the morning, so I throw together a quick protein shake as my breakfast.0

what, no it doesn't... regardless when you eat, 5 am ot 12 pm you are breaking your fast (breakfast) so everyone eats breakfast or will eventually die.
I think the studies you refer to may indicate those that don't eat breakfast tend to eat more throughout the day, but if you eat the same calories, meal timing is irrelevant to weight loss.0 -

Why not skip it... some people are not hungry in the morning or some other reason for not eating it.0 -

Dead wrong
Please provide peer reviewed source showing direct link between skipping breakfast and reduced weight loss...
Also, this is the gaining forum...0 -

The only studies I have seen to suggest that, are the ones that clearly state that in observation studies, people who eat regularly tend to make smarter choices. But outside of that, there is no scientific reason to not skip meals.0 -

(Even if that were really true, which it's not)...since you're on the GAINING weight forum......0 -

Post a link to the peer-reviewed study/studies which allegedly show this.
Then Google "Intermittent Fasting" and read about lots and lots of people who have met their goals (losing weight, gaining weight, recomp, etc.) while eating all their meals within a short time window every day.0 -

I agree breakfast is not needed, buy why do you expect them to produce peer reviewed studies but your claim is only using google. If you put that on someone else you should do the same. That said there are many studies out there that debunk meal timing... comes down to cals in cals out.0 -
Skipping breakfast wouldn't work for me, I'd be too hungry later and hate my day! But if you can stay on track with your own diet program, it won't make a difference.
It's personal preference; I like a fasting AM workout.0 -
It's been scientifically proven that reading articles (read: "advertisements") funded by specific food products or organizations that will benefit from said reading often leads the misinformed to believe what they read and even consider it "scientific evidence" (without ever reading the actual study) and ultimately change their eating habits in favor of those who funded the articles publication (again, read: "advertisements").
Surprise. Don't believe everything you read. These "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" studies don't really tackle the real reason they make this claim. That would go against the agenda of their backers looking to sell more breakfast items. In the end, CICO wins.0 -

Any studies I have seen have shown correlation, not causation. And since OP posted this in the "Gaining Weight" section, it sounds like maybe she SHOULD skip breakfast.
OP, if you are trying to gain weight, it's all about calories, just make sure you hit that goal number
Good luck! 0 -

1) It's generally accepted that the onus of proof is upon the one who makes the claim.
2) I agree 100% re: the invalidity of meal timing and the importance of CICO; however, with that said...
2a) ...if you put it upon me to provide studies for my original refutation of the poster's claim, why did you not do the same?0 -

Yes, I am trying to gain weight.
I'll still eat breakfast whenever I can. Just wanted to know if not eating it can cause any delays in my weight gain . Thank you all.0 -

I agree with what you put.. My issue was you saying Hey show me studies since I don't believe you, just google what I said to see the opposite. You offered a counter argument using google as your source, that is my only issue with what you posted.0 -
@shecurly welcome to MFP forums.
For any Way Of Eating to work for one it has to fit their lifestyle more or less. Weighting our bodies from time to time tells us the net results of our WOE.
Best of success.0 -

As long as you get your calories in elsewhere when you skip breakfast, you will be fine. Don't sweat it.

There's no such thing as delays. If your goal is just to gain some weight. You can eat your entire caloric surplus number in one sitting and you'll still gain weight lol. Splitting your meal portion for the day is a whole different story. If you want to split them into 6 meals a day, 3 big meals a day, 1 huge meal a day. It doesn't matter, if your goal is just to gain some weight. Because you will gain weight as long as your numbers are on point. You want to gain weight? Consume more calories than you burn. You want to lose weight? Burn more calories then you consume. You want to maintain your weight? Make sure you consume the same amount of calories than you burn. It all comes down to managing energy input/output so that a NET calorie surplus is maintained in the big picture. At the end of the day, it's all about the numbers.
