Does anyone forgo breakfast?

When I skip breakfast I lose weight at a slower pace. I don't know why this is, it just is for me.

Sometimes. All depends on how I feel. I often don't get hungry until 11 or so. I try really hard to listen to my body and take those cues. If I am hungry earlier, I usually have a greek yogurt. If not, I just wait until I am hungry. I never eat because it's "time to eat".

Most days I only eat two meals a day. It's not better for your metabolism to eat breakfast and it's perfectly fine to skip if that's your preference and it works for you.

I find the earlier I start eating in the day, the hungrier I am all day long. I skip breakfast fairly often and I try to delay it as long as possible on the days I do eat it.

I used to never eat breakfast, but I have been lately. It seems to help me stick to my calories during the day. Of course, that's just me.

passing along what my nutritionist told me:
eating breakfast does get your metabolism moving a little faster, because you're body begins working on digestion, HOWEVER, the main reason that breakfast is recommended is so that you don't binge later due to hunger. Some people (like me) find that they get hungrier earlier in the day when they eat breakfast, which makes it harder to stay within our calorie goal.
If I wait until around 11 to have my first meal, it seems to hold me over for longer. If I skip breakfast, I have no issues waiting til even past noon to eat my first meal of the day, but if I have breakfast, I seem to be hungry all morning. The exception is if I am planning an active morning, a run or a hike, then I will eat a small breakfast before I go.

I cringe everytime I hear about someone skipping breakfast or anyone advising that one should skip breakfast. You obviously know how important it is to your health, so try just having a piece of fruit or a handful of almonds on your way out the door in the morning. Not only is it good for your metabolism, but breakfast is giving you the substantial amount of energy that your body needs to work through the morning. Please eat something!

I always eat a breakfast that is high in protein (eggs, meal replacement shake, Kashi/soy milk) because it gives me energy, keeps me full until lunchtime and I find I'm not likely to binge later in the day. For me eating 6 small balanced meals/snacks a day keeps me balanced and on my scheduled weight loss goals.

Me too!!! I'm happy with coffee in the morning. I've been forcing myself to have a protein shake (180 calories) or some fruit to start the day. I'm glad to see somebody else feels this way. I make myself eat because everybody tells me it's better, but I might stop now that I've seen these comments.

Depends on how I feel. If I'm hungry I eat breakfast, if I'm not, I either wait til lunch or have a snack later in the morning. It's a myth that you need to eat breakfast to jumpstart your metabolism, or whatever it is some people believe.

please post a study showing that "eating breakfast is important to your health". Breakfast has nothing to do with metabolism.

There are SEVERAL articles that suggest eating breakfast is important to your health.. People who eat breakfast tend to weigh less than people who skip.

Also..

"Some people skip breakfast in an effort to lose weight, but the practice is more likely to cause weight gain than weight loss. Skipping breakfast is strongly linked to the development of obesity. Studies show that overweight and obese children, adolescents, and adults are less likely to break the fast each morning than their thinner counterparts.

According to research, skipping meals, especially breakfast, can actually make weight control more difficult. Breakfast skippers tend to eat more food than usual at the next meal or nibble on high-calorie snacks to stave off hunger. Several studies suggest that people tend to accumulate more body fat when they eat fewer, larger meals than when they eat the same number of calories in smaller, more frequent meals."

ooh, snap,
i posted the question on my wall earlier wether its a good or bad thing to skip breakfast, was thinking of trying it to keep daily calories down

got lots of comments saying definitely not a good idea, and as my mfp pals are a good bunch i am throwing the idea out of the window
