    I never skip breakfast and am a staunch believer of the old saying "Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper!" Though I don't have a king-like breakfast but my breakfast usually includes fruits, scrambled eggs or any other protein and cornflakes/oats. I also sometimes skip the cornflakes. I don't eat anything in the evening as I am usually at the gym at that time. Directly have dinner. The regimen works quite well for me.

    I sometimes wait until around noon to eat something. But on days like today? Hell no. I will eat something small and light every few hours.

    My ranching relatives eat their biggest meal at noon and always a light evening meal. Lots of great suggestions and insights. Much appreciated!!

    I eat around 250 calories for breakfast, which can be when I just get up, or after my walk/run, depending on what time the sun comes up.

    I have about 300 calories for lunch, and save the rest of my calories for my evening meal.

    I'll skip breakfast daily with possible exception on Sundays. I usually eat after 12pm and eat up to 11:30pm. Just make sure that I don't exceed my calories needed for the day.

    I have to eat breakfast due to some medication I'm on but otherwise wouldn't. I actually find it often makes me feel a little queasy if I eat too soon after getting up although I don't know why?! As long as it doesn't make you snack more later then go for it (or don't I guess would be more appropriate!)

    I need to eat something, so it's generally a piece of fruit. I've found that no matter how much I eat, I'm usually hungry by 9 (I get up at 5). I'd rather just save calories for later, when I know I'm more likely to feel deprived and binge

    My job takes a lot of energy and physical effort, so no I don't skip meals. However my activity level allows me a generous calorie allowance so I don't find it too difficult to enjoy pretty much anything I want(carefully weighed and fit into my calorie budget of course). If I know I will want a higher calorie snack in the evening I generally just go with a lower cal dinner since that is usually a high calorie meal for me(800-1000 calories).
