    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 was from me... and im sorry im not "scientific" enough for you kel kel.. you know your a very angry person.. were talking about freaking breakfast and your having a mental breakdown..

    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.

    I will say that the "community college" has contributed to me losing three percent body fat over the past four months and increasing me deadlift from like 185# to 325# (today)....
  • I think different people with different bodies =.= I skip breakfast sometimes and it was okay :P Sometimes I get hungry right after I wake up :) But thanks for sharing :)

  • Okay, I'm convinced. I think I'm going to start waiting to eat until dinner and just putting down a 1500 calorie meal. I bet my weight will start melting!

    Can you even put down 1500 cals in one meal?

    Do you think 2 big macs and a diet coke will do it?

    Whatever man. I like eating breakfast because I'm starving when I wake up. My breakfast choices are super healthy. I also have to force myself to eat breakfast otherwise I have issues meeting my calories.

    Calories in morning are same as calories at other times of day.
    Just know that without breakfast my portion control goes haywire during day and particularly the evening.
    Find it impossible to do exercise if nothing to burn.

    Happy to breakfast but if it works for you ...

    Agreed. Varies from person to person. All depends upon your personal habits.

    This would actually work. Meal timing is irrelevant. You can eat all your calories in one sitting, provided you're working at a deficit you'll still lose weight. Plenty of people eat only dinner and lose weight.
  • Gave up cereal, pastries, and pancakes (still have pancakes and french toast on rare occasions - maybe twice/year) for breakfast over 2 1/2 years ago. But I've ate breakfast everyday (most days it's bacon, eggs, and toast) -- end result almost 60 pounds lost (in 9 months) and maintaining that for 1 year 10 months.
    During this time I've also ate about half of my daily calories at night (suppertime and later) -- so that is my argument for the eating at night myth.
    People aren't fat cuz they eat breakfast -- they are fat cuz they eat to much of the wrong things all day long.
  • If I don't have breakfast I feel faint but then I am hungry throughout the day, but if I skip breakfast I don't get hungry until much later....hmmmm

    I only trudged through page 1 of this thread but YES, OP, I agree with you. :flowerforyou:

    I think that breakfast isn't a useful meal and I don't eat it, not ever. I haven't since I was a child. I'm currently trying the 5:2 diet, modified to 4:3 and I'm seeing really good results already - namely a flatter stomach. I eat once a day - late afternoon - and that's it. The body needs a rest from eating sometimes. I workout at the gym on 'empty', never feel faint and am full of energy throughout the day.

    The race to health has many routes though, everybody should do what they feel comfortable with.
