    As mentioned, breakfast is really no more important then any other meal of the day. The body doesn't recognize "meal times". It recognizes food consumption. Whether it's day time or night time, it breaks down and digests food the same way. It's not faster in the morning than it is at night.
    As for "getting metabolism going", metabolism increases with physical movement. So as soon as one stirs out of bed, metabolic rate goes up.

    ^This. All those who say breakfast speeds your metabolism clearly don't understand the thermic effect of food, and how little it has to do with overall metabolism. Meal timing and frequency is irrelevant to weight loss. Also, the argument that not eating breakfast will cause you to snack and eat more speaks to overall caloric intake and individual control - not the fact that one doesn't eat breakfast. I eat roughly 3000 calories a day. Doesn't matter if I skip breakfast or eat it. Personally, I eat within an hour of waking up, but its a personal choice. I train at night, and when I wake up I'm hungry. If I consume 3000 calories by the end of the day and I don't eat breakfast, it doesn't matter in the least bit. Calories in vs out.
