i myself do eat breakfast but ive heard a few times on here that breakfast literally is just calories and drinking water also wakes up your metabolism after sleeping and that you dont need to eat breakfast?
im new to this whole healthy lifestyle so is that true? dont you need breakfast?
ive always been told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day

I've always heard that breakfast is really important (revs up metabolism etc.,) and I eat breakfast everyday (in fact, I couldn't imagine going about my day without any food in my stomach, I'd be so tired!). Calories are energy, and you need energy to do things- therefore, I eat breakfast ; ) I don't have any scientific proof...but I'm sure if you looked into it you'd find support for eating breakfast = )0

see thats what i have ALWAYS been told aswell that you need breakfast to start the day but mfp is making me doubt that now0

Personally I think breakfast is very important for your metabolism and also to give you a good start to your morning. A good breakfast will give you energy.0

i always eat breakfast
It gets your metabolism going and keeps me from being grumpy in the am0 -
I give up, I'm moving to another planet0

Why would you not want to eat breakfast unless you are into starving yourself?? Are you eating all your calories with only 2 meals per day? It doesn't matter what you call them, meal 1, meal 2, meal 3...whatever. Sometimes I even eat breakfast for supper!0

i dont eat 2 meals a day i eat 3 but ive read many times recently about how breakfast doesnt matter people like "drmerc" for example who say infact it doesnt matter i just want some answers really but yeah..0 -
I know when I eat breakfast I am not as hungry at lunch so I don't overeat. When I become too hungry look out I don't eat sensibly.0

I would suggest you look at the post above you that quotes an actual study showing the comment re metabolism to be completely false.0 -
You can eat if you want to, don't if you don't. As long as your calorie intake is comparable you'll lose a comparable amount of weight.0

dmerc actually cited a study supporting his answer. None of the others giving contrary advice have. That should indicate which is the correct answer.
Intra-day meal frequency has no impact on weight loss, calories and macros remaining the same.0 -
