Hey...I was just wondering....Is is bad to not eat till around 2-3 every day?
I always hit the calories that I need...I just don't start eating till around 2 or 3pm...
Is this unhealthy? I've been maintaining fine doing this but I don't want to screw up my system any more than it already is...

It's fine. You are not screwing up anything.0

It perfectly fine to do. I do It every day with IF!0

I do it every day with IF too. Yes, it's completely fine and not unhealthy.0

personal preference is the key, meal frequency really has no bearing as long as you are adhering to your caloric intake and hitting your macros...... Best of Luck0

I probably wouldn't last till 2pm, but it's fine. I do it, but usually I start at 12pm.

Yeah, but OP looks really young - she probably sleeps later than you do.
OP, I eat several hours after I wake up. Just get enough food - timing doesn't matter.0 -
It's ok to wait. I'm wondering though, how your system is "screwed up" with reference to what you mean by "more than it already is"?0

Eat when you feel like it. Shouldn't feel like a chore

It's agnostic. You will not screw up your system.Is this unhealthy? I've been maintaining fine doing this but I don't want to screw up my system any more than it already is...
Eat when it makes sense based on appetite, adherence, lifestyle and energy levels.0 -
Nah, some days I just have tea or coffee in the morning because I'm not feeling hungry. It actually helps me out a bit because I have more calories to work with later on in the day so I don't feel famished by like 9 pm! I haven't had any problems functioning and if you haven't, don't worry about it. Some people just wake up STARVING and others just don't. We happen to be those that don't.0

Everyone on here will tell you it is fine. No, it isnt. Studies have proven that eating breakfast revs meatbolism turns the furnace on. Read the studies, breakfast eaters are thinner and have 33 percent less waist circumfrence. So, you will hear ""time does not matter, IIFYM. Do some research google breakfast eaters vs non breakfast eaters. That being said, if you dont want to, dont.0

Depends what you want to do till 2 or 3 pm. If you're just sitting about, you can probably get by with just water. If you plan on being active, you'll need fuel to burn, so eat.0

Metabolism doesn't switch off (unless you die in your sleep) so you can't switch it on, it's on 24/7.Everyone on here will tell you it is fine. No, it isnt.

Please post these studies you refer to - you may well find some interesting correlations (not causations). The biggest one is most likely that people consuming more calories get fatter! Which brings people to calorie counting websites like MFP....0 -

No, it's not bad. Breakfast is a thoroughly modern invention, anyway.
Just make sure your overall intake provides the fuel and nutrients you need.0 -
Read the studies, breakfast eaters are thinner and have 33 percent less waist circumfrence.
That is clearly horse ****. 33% less on a 36 inch waist is a 24 inch waist, most men couldn't get down to that number after 4 years in a concentration camp.0 -

I don't eat till about 3 or 4pm every day (except my fasting days) anyway. Your body may actually thank you for doing it. You are actually doing 16:8 when you think about it.0

Where are the peer reviewed studies that prove breakfast "jump starts" metabolism? Not an article, a blog, anecdotes or opinion polls, but actual peer reviewed clinical evidence.Everyone on here will tell you it is fine. No, it isnt.

Hate to tell you that LOTS of people that eat breakfast are also very overweight and obese. You are correlating "thinner" people who eat breakfast vs overweight/obese people who don't. Guarantee you that correlations can be found if the two were reversed.
Research DOESN'T mean "google it" and pick the best evidence to back your opinion. It means looking OBJECTIVELY at actual peer reviewed studies.

If your first meal is 2pm...its still breakfast 0

IMO you should never eat if you don't feel hungry. IF is a good way to eat for a lot of people, and works well for me. I do 16:8 most days, and get all my calories in when I feel hungry, not when the clock or uninformed people tell me it is time to eat.0

I'd like to check read one of those studies. Link?Everyone on here will tell you it is fine. No, it isnt. Studies have proven that eating breakfast revs meatbolism turns the furnace on.

Yes, you are fine if you are eating enough, but not too much. When I was heavy I ate very little for breakfast, but made up for it with lunch and dinner. Now I eat a breakfast around 300 calories and the rest is a huge lunch and no dinner. Simply a preference, timing does not alter my daily intake. Calories are a rolling average, not a 24 hour ceiling or floor. Your body does not recognize time. It only reflects the choices made over a long term. I hope this makes sense.0

I hate eating in the morning too ... makes me feel sick ... I'm rarely hungry in the morning anyway ... It's actually nice, since I have to wait an hour after I take my thyroid meds before eating ...0

My 104 lb ... 2000+ (on exercise days) @ss begs to differ with the whole "you must eat breakfast thing" ... I also disagrees with the "don't eat before bed thing", as I actually eat in bed before going to sleep ...0 -
Force yourself. Make it a habit! You'll be so happy you did.0

Force yourself to eat when you're not hungry .. Yup, that's GREAT advice .. SMH ...0 -
I've never been a breakfast eater, and I rarely eat within the first couple hours of waking up. The most I can usually manage is a shake on the way to work. When I finally get around to eating my first meal of the day, it usually ends up being around noon or later. Doesn't seem to have affected my weight loss at all. 0
