    Breakfast kickstarts your metabolism, so you should eat something first thing in the morning. If you're not real hungry, just keep it light - some fruit or toast. But you should eat something to keep your insulin levels even.

    Yeah that's simply not true though

    Yep, that claim has been disproven.

    Hi all! Question for you--based on your personal experience!

    All my life, I've heard "breakfast is SO important, ESPECIALLY if you want to lose weight!"

    But here's the thing--I almost never eat breakfast, simply because I'm rarely hungry when I wake up. I don't get hungry for a few hours, and by then it's so close to lunch time that I just wait for lunch. I assume I shouldn't eat breakfast when I'm not hungry just to say "I ate breakfast!", but I'm wondering if I should have a pre-lunch snack when I do get hungry, etc.

    I'm out of bed at 7 and never eat until almost 10:30. I just eat lunch at that time though. I try to never eat unless I'm hungry and I'm working on forgetting about the "norms" of times for food intake. If you're hungry at 10:30, eat then. If you're not hungry again until 4:00, eat then. Just build your meals around the times, keep track of your calories and you'll be just fine.
