    BTW, I did eat breakfast this morning (sometimes I do) and with 2 hours to go before lunch I am feeling very hungry. When I skip it I am usually not hungry. For me personally, there is something to the "once you light the fire you must feed the flames" school of thought.

    actually there is not...there is no evidence that eating breakfast first thing in the morning does anything for metabolism, flames, or anything else you want to call it..

    How could that be true? Eating causes an increase in metabolism.

    If you assume you will eat the same amount of food during the day, whether you eat breakfast or not, then you have the answer to that question, i.e. the same amount of food will have the same effect on your body. The point is that meal timing doesn't matter. I intentionally skip breakfast many days. I cannot consistently keep IF because on legs days and certain other active days, I need to eat either before I work out or simply because I wake up quite hungry. The beauty is that knowing meal timing doesn't matter allows each individual to confidently do what works for him/her and to not eat when he/she is not hungry.

    ^ this is the correct answer...

    research also suggests that 100% of the people who eat breakfast die....

    Can you provide a link to those studies?

    I agree with aelunyu in that the studies largely deal with correlation rather than causation. If you changed nothing else in your diet, and just started eating breakfast, chances are, there wouldn't be a big change. People who start eating breakfast do so because they start caring about their diets, and therefore are eating better throughout the day and having results. The same goes for eating at night.

    The whole "breakfast is the most important meal of the day?" Advertising spin. Wasn't it the egg industry that did that?
    Cereal industry, actually.

    My analytic, rational mind agrees with you completely, but I still feel hungry...

    well at least we agree..

    Yes. My hunger is psychological; that makes it no less real. Funny thing is, I went ahead and heated my lunch and now I am sort of picking at it, not wolfing it down or anything. So many things would be easier if I had as much control over my mind as it seems like I should...

    No longer eat breakfast, also no longer eat 6 small meals a day, I have never felt more awesome! I now only eat 2 big meals a day, so whatever works for you - do it!

    Beachiron already covered it, but I'd like to also add that:

    1. It's a very small increase in metabolism, pretty much negligible.

    2. The increase is based on total calories, not the timing of the calories.

    Eating a 2000 calorie meal will have the same metabolic increase as eating 2000 calories split up into several meals and snacks.

    Did it provide proof that breakfast eaters never become one of the undead? Is that why vampires only eat at night?

    My point is that eating breakfast does impact metabolism. While I did know what you meant, the number of posts about breakfast "jump starting metabolism" would suggest that not everyone on MFP would assume you meant if you eat the same amount of food during the day when you say there is 'no impact'.

    The same amount as 500 calories eaten at any other part of the day, but an impact nonetheless.

    You're actually being deliberately obtuse, just plain trolling, or you seriously have difficulty understanding simple concepts..

    Look, if I eat 2000 calories for breakfast, it's about a 200 calorie increase because TEF is roughly 10%. If I skip eating breakfast and lunch, and eat a 2000 calorie dinner instead, it's still a 200 calorie boost. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SPECIFIC MEAL YOU EAT. It is 100% solely dependent on the total number of calories consumed. If I eat breakfast only, I get a small boost from it. If I eat lunch only, I get the same boost. If I eat dinner only, I still get the same boost. If I eat breakfast lunch and dinner, I still get the same boost, just divided into 3 smaller boosts. If I only eat lunch and dinner, I still get the same boost, only it's divided into 2 smaller boosts.

    The metabolic boost from eating has absolutely nothing to do at all with specifically eating breakfast. It has to do with eating, period. Whenever you choose to eat. It's really not a difficult concept to understand.
  • I already confronted another post where several people said breakfast is not necessary and I posted over several studies and article by well known doctors that say eating breakfast is very important in weight lost.

    I already confronted another post where several people said breakfast is not necessary and I posted over several studies and article by well known doctors that say eating breakfast is very important in weight lost.

    Someone writing an article or doing a study would of course only reference the doctors who concur with their viewpoint. If 4 out of 5 doctors agree with them, one still disagrees, and I doubt they will use that doctor's contribution. Studies and articles are slanted in the favor of the author and the author's viewpoint.

    I don't really know about the breakfast - what impact it really does on our body, but I know that I really enjoy my breakfast: a toast with fried eggs and lettuce, pancakes, oatmeal - they just some of my favourite food and a they just scream out "Eat me for breakfast! Only for breakfast!" But really, I eat them only for breakfast. Except crepes.

    I eat breakfast daily...but I usually do it around noon.
