    Interestingly there was an item in the current issue of runners world magazine. Eating a balanced breakfast helps some people avoid snacking in the morning but ultimately it comes down to total daily intake. If you're not a breakfast person and you're not reaching for something sweet at 10:00AM I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

    When I was 336 lbs I rarely ate breakfast.

    I know eat breakfast every day, and I've lost over 65 lbs. Now, breakfast isn't the only thing. I exercise a lot, and count calories, but I think it is part of the package.

    Plus, if I didn't eat breakfast, I think it would be hard to have the self control I need to eat a healthy lunch.

    I tend not to eat breakfast on the weekends, at least until late (so maybe by then it's brunch?). However, during the week, since I'm up earlier, I have Chobani Greek Yogurt with a tablespoon of protein powder. Keep me full until lunch.
