    Ok folks here are the stats...

    forty four percent of us eat breakfast, yet 2/3's of americans are obese. Hmmm yet we keep hearing that breakfast is the "most important meal of the day". I guess if you want to be obese then it is. Also, the whole "I need to eat breakfast to stoke the metabolic fire theory' has been totally debunked; as meal timing has nothing to do with metabolism. So I say eat when you are hungry and the let the chips fall as they may. I personally have been skipping breakfast for about five months now, and have lost three percent body fat. Oh, and you wont go into starvation mode if you don't eat breakfast so don't even come with that...cheers!

    Please quote some peer-reviewed, reputable studies if you want to say it's been totally de-bunked. I agree science is sketchy on the metabolic aspect but you can find many studies on the National Institutes of Health web site supporting the cause for eating breakfast. I don't care if you eat breakfast or not, but so far no one on this site has shown me a peer-reviewed meta-analysis of literature de-bunking the theory. It might exist; I'm still just waiting for someone to show it to me. It's just the point that people keep saying it's B.S. without showing me any citations, particularly a peer-reviewed meta-analysis in a reputable scientific journal (which is a study of studies, essentially).

    I prefer bloody marry's to vodka OJ ....but that is just me...
    Yeah, well, we know about you. You should really go for a Bloody Caesar, be crazy among your friends and attract nearby Canadians. Instead of tomato juice, use clamato juice. It is quite delicious!

    example of totally unacceptable citation. this would not pass muster at any reputable college as a source for an academic paper.

    Whoa!!!!!!!!!!!

    I consider breakfast top be the most important meal of the day! It's what one eats for breakfast that will pave the way either to the obese or slim life. Fast and I'll eat anything that comes my way and that's a promise! Eat a well balanced breakfast and I'll be happy throughout the day with healthy and well portioned meals with minimal sancking in between. Now everyone has their own preferences as to what they like for breakfast. Mine is rolled oats with no fat plain yoghurt, chia and linseed mix with blueberries and a dash of honey or maple syrup. Winter it's good ole porridge.

    I'll stick to what works best for me and all the best with your journey...

    i never eat breakfast, i normally just have coffee for breakfast.. and then wait to eat until lunch. whenever i do eat breakfast like if someone cooks so i feel bad and have to eat it - i always gain weight when i weigh myself the next day.. plus im not even hungry until like 12:00 anyway.. agree with you 100%!

    this is exactly what I am talking about ...real life example of the ills of breakfast!

    Yay! Woo hoo. More anecdotal evidence. Do you have a source for anything that you could possibly use even in a freshman-level public speaking course on this topic? Nope. You quote percentages with no back up. 99.8% of what you say is B.S. I can't find the source, but I'm sure of it. I read it somewhere.

    Hmmmm you say everything I say is bunk but you offer no studies of your own and just more, your words, anecdotal evidence...

    Also, why is that person real life example not valid? She said she ate breakfast and gained weight...FYI I did not post that that is from another poster.

    It's already been stated, but technically we all eat breakfast, i.e. breaking of ones fast. Makes no difference if its at 6 a.m. or 2 p.m. Your "hunger" is not due to "starving" ... it is just a hormonal response to patterns of eating your body is accustomed to. For the most part we are used to eating at certain times during the day. In the absence of this, our body is thrown into a "wtf mode" when we cannot meet these habits.

    For real? Try a community college or something to understand what science is. It is not an opinion or even an expert's account on something.
