I'm an IF'er, so I don't believe anyone has to eat breakfast.
I don't really care if someone chooses to though...for whatever reason.
I do believe that the "myths" of the benefits of eating breakfast are ingrained in most people...from various sources.
...but so are many other diet myths.
I honestly don't believe eating breakfast is harmful either.
I don't know if this was your intent, but you are coming off as a teensy bit angry. lol

This clown I know swears that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
I usually agree with his thinking, so....0 -
most important - maybe not but there is something to say about filling yourself up in the morning to sustain from mindless snacking throughout the day
it works for me and I have noticed myself with more energy and self control with snacking throughout the rest of my work day when I eat breakfast - most days it is my biggest meal but it doesn't have to be to have the same effect. Balancing carbs and protein is key and I like getting most of my carbs (oatmeal) out of the way in the morning and having a really lean dinner
BUT that's just me - i think it is pretty important but not important enough to eat Fruity Pebbles all the time0 -

Don't eat breakfast if you don't want it.
I don't get your big deal about this...
Maybe if you ate breakfast you wouldn't be so angry..0 -

Ha, and after reading your post, I see what the real question is. Where is the story of a good breakfast coming from?
Well, let me take you back to the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. From that moment on, society needed large amounts of labour, of workers. These people worked in the factories etc, and made long hours, little wages and 6 days a week, 12 hours a day or more.
So how these folks started the day? Not with a cracker, I can tell you that.
They needed large doses of protien, like eggs and bacon. Also white beans and bread for the immediate energy. And if you started your day with a 1500 Kcal breakfast, then you could hang on to noon or so.
Also, before the IR, people lived more in relationship with rise and dawn of the sun, because there was no (gas or electric) light outside. They ate when it was conviened, and had there meals during the whole day.
During the IR, the foodhabits changed, because 3 meals a day was better to organise, and cheaper, because the employers did not lose any time (money) because their workingforce had to eat.
So, hope this answer can satisfy you a bit

so the industrial revolution was really the breakfast revolution...?? Interesting...
how does that Jive with IF'ers who fast most of day and then train fasted and have enough energy and to get through work out..?? I guess the counter argument would be that those doing manual labor needed higher calorie intake to make it to lunch?0 -

not angry, I am just asking a question ....0 -
oh, and I do eat breakfast....
I did IF for eight months..but felt like my evenings were full of cooking..so I went back to about three to four meals a day.0 -
What's an IF'er? I'm dutch, so I don't know all your expressions...
And yes... The IR changed society so much, we can't imagine. The way we live, when we eat, our work ethics, how we schedule our day and how school is organised... it al has its basics in that time.0 -
Intermittent Fasting....0

ive never eaten breakfast a day in my life and my metabolism has been fine. the only reason I started now was to add more calories throughout the day so I don't feel bloated if I overeat to make up calories later on.0
