skipping breakfast

I find that eating breakfast makes me more hungry through the day. This causes me to eat snacks before and after lunch, thus under cutting all of what I am working for.

Same here. If I eat a banana or an egg, I'll be starving hours before my first solid meals on non-breakfast days.

So first I want to know why everyone seems to be attacking my post....i clearly stated I'm not here to debate pros or cons of eating breakfast, I just shared what works for me so the orignal creator of this post could read it and make their own decision on what they want to believe. For all of you that are poo-pooing everyone who believes in eating breakfast, why? they're just sharing opinions. Even Dr's, which i believe most of you are not....don't agree on this topic. Stop crapping on others opinions that they are just sharing. Share what works for you without criticizing others and move on.....

We are not attacking your post. We are trying to stop the spread of misinformation that abounds. Losing weight is hard enough without people thinking they have to jump through a lot of hoops to do it.

No one is poo poo'ing eating breakfast. What they are doing is trying to clear up the idea that is is beneficial from a weight loss perspective outside personal preference.

If eating breakfast makes adherence or performance better (or is necessary for medical reasons), great, go for it. But if not, don't unless you like to eat breakfast.

Basically, you lost weight because you ate less, not because you ate breakfast or not.

For me, skipping a meal is setting myself up to make bad choices at the next meal.

This for me too.

"Basically, you lost weight because you ate less, not because you ate breakfast or not." I agree... and surrender :-)

I never used to eat breakfast but what I have learned is that if I do have breakfast I first of all have more energy but more importantly if I don't eat to say 11am/12pm by that time I am starving and will eat anything without thinking about it and I will keep on eating as I won't give myself the chance to feel full. I think eating often helps you make more rational choices you don't have to go overboard somedays if I am not that hungry or want to keep extra cals for later I will just have a 200 cal breakfast.

I usually don't get hungry until 10 or 11 in the morning, so I usually just have a small snack then, followed by a full lunch a couple hours later

I tend not to eat breakfast. For me, I like a nice cup of coffee and my morning newspaper. Then another tall cup on my commute. I know, I know... skipping breakfast is bad for me, etc, etc. I'm really not hungry in the mornings.

I delay my first meal until I am physically hungry, which is usually between 11:30 am and 1 pm (sometimes later if I sleep in on the weekend). This hunger time typically equates to lunch rather than breakfast. Although, I love breakfast foods and like to eat breakfast, when I do, my calorie intake adds up fast because I seem to be just as hungry for lunch and often eat even more than I do when lunch is my first meal of the day.

I don't skip breakfast to save calories. I skip breakfast because solid food before lunch makes me gag. I don't think anyone should go out of their way to have or not have breakfast. Do what's comfortable.

Does anyone here skip breakfast to save more calories for later in the day? Was it hard for you to adjust at first? I really want to do this because I hate when I use up calories so early in the day but I'm pretty hungry in the morning. Or maybe my body just expects food because its used to eating within like 5 seconds of waking up. Any tips on adjusting? Thanks

I stopped eating breakfast some time ago. I control the hunger in the mornings with a cup of coffee with some vanilla protein powder and coconut oil in it. The quick dose of protein and fat satisfies my hunger and the caffeine gets me going. I also time my carb intake around my workouts, which is where the bulk of my daily calories come into play.
