    It's a personal preference on what time you eat breakfast. I drink a protein shake to keep me from bingeing on the vending machine at lunchtime. I eat cereal for dinner more than I eat it for breakfast! Krave S'mores all the way for me.

    I'm guessing she was trying to help. No need to get butthurt and rude about it.

    Who are you quoting? Where is the butt hurt?

    Everyone quoting this: "Skipping breakfast makes you more tired throughout the day and slows down your metabolism. Your body goes into starvation mode because it has no idea when it's getting food next and then when you do eat it stores as much fat and sugar as possible because it's (again) not sure when it's going to get food next. If you want extra calories for dinner, try a simple workout. I walk each day for 45 minutes with my dog. That gives me 241 extra calories to use :) Cleaning your house, gardening, ect all add up."

    If butt hurt is not letting people steamroll bad info all over this thread then, sure. ...

    Do presidents use the term "butt hurt" in usual convos? Srs question.

    I personally am not a breakfast person. I have been eating lately, but very late in the day. I like drinking my coffee and that fills me up. You do not have to eat breakfast, so keep doing what your doing!!!

    Skipping breakfast does NOT make you more tired throughout the day, nor does it slow down your metabolism. Skipping breakfast does NOT put you in starvation mode.

    Skip breakfast if you want to.

    There's a way to correct misinformation without belittling the person and being an *kitten* about it. And if our president uses "*kitten*", I'm sure he uses "butthurt" too.

    I found this article that I think helps explain starvation mode somewhat. I picked this one because it is written in plain English most should be able to understand. I will say not everyone's body reacts the same and different things can affect metabolism but that I don't think the impact is as detrimental as we sometimes believe. Basically missing a meal shouldn't ruin everything but starving yourself in general could screw your body up.

    None of that is true. Skipping breakfast is fine, I usually prefer to skip breakfast. And metabolic damage takes a long time, we're talking months, not hours, skipping a meal does absolutely nothing to your metabolism, and breakfast does not magically make you more alert throughout the day.

    Techincally speaking no one can skip breakfast.... the first thing you eat (each day) breaks the fast - ergo you've had breakfast lol xXx

    So, if I skip breakfast, does that mean I'm really skipping dinner? If lunch becomes breakfast, does dinner become lunch? Or am I skipping lunch, because lunch became breakfast?

    I fnd it disturbing how many people think that not eating for 12hrs or longer is ok.

    Per my certified personal trainer........eat breakfast! You need to kick start your metabolism when you get up. Not eating at regular intervals brings down your metabolism. When your body doesn't know when it's next fueling is going to be it will hold onto what it does get creating fat.

    becoming a certified PT literally requires minimal nutrition study, and what they do get is typically broscience. My cousin is a certified PT, he weighs 280 pounds, can't deadlift 315, has not a modicum of proper form on the squat and constantly spews broscience like clean eating and never skipping breakfast. He is the last person I would take nutrition advice from, and it sounds like you are his first client.

    Fire your PT, he doesn't know $#@!.
