large or small breakfast to lose weight?

Considering your body needs about 8 hours of sleep in order to process the food intake, exercise and water, my answer is no.
Good for you but it doesn't change the facts from the experts who are educated and practice health management for a living.
BTW - Many bodybuilders practice unhealthy lifestyles nor do I want to be or look like a bodybuilder. Therefore, if that is your point of reference then I'll pass.
Many people in general practice unhealthy lifestyles, so that point is moot.
You don't have to want to look like a body builder, my point being is they build muscle (which is difficult to do with bad health practices) and achieve great feats by being health conscious. health and fitness is about feeding your body the right nutrients and training to achieve your goals, which is what many people do every single day eating in a timing that doesn't fit your very close minded view.
If the point is moot then why did you bring it up? I couldn't care less about the manner in which body builders formulate their deformed nasty looking bodies unhealthy bodies. Their methods are not healthly at all. Like I previously stated, if that's your point of reference then knock yourself out. I will continue to follow the advice of medical and health professionals who have invested years in the business and not those of bodybuilders. If this makes me a close minded person then I wear it proudly.

If you go more than 4 hours without food then your blood sugar will drop which in turn drops your metabolism. If your metabolism is low then your body won't burn calories. There is a lot of truth to that saying about breakfast being the most important meal of the day. Breakfast or lack of sets you up for the rest of the day. Breakfast doesn't have to be big. A granola bar with light yogurt works. A mini-bagel with yogurt or fruit and granola or bar also works. Grab a protein bar with fruit. This will curve your hunger throughout the day. You could buy these items beforehand and grab and go in the morning.
Meal timing, size and frequency has little to no effect on weight loss (read: so minute it doesn't matter). Thermic Effect of Food (TEF) is the smallest determining variable when it comes to metabolism.Since you speak of your experience, how do you explain weight loss from intermittent fasting?
Bottom line, burn more calories then you consume. How and when you do it is pretty much irrelevant in weight loss. Law of biological thermodymics.
I don't agree with your assessment because size and timing of meals have much to do with healthy weight loss?
My "experience" led me to believe there are various weight loss methods, not all are healthy. One more time! The point isn't whether or not weight loss is achieve, rather if healthy weight loss is achieved through the method a person chose (i.e. intermittent fasting).
So your "experience" gives you the foundational and scientific knowledge required to determine whether "healthy" weight loss can be achieved? So not eating breakfast, or not eating every 4 hours is unhealthy? How so? And what research have you done or read to come to this conclusion? Please post a link... hopefully not to Dr. Oz0 -

I very much doubt most people get up twice in the night to eat something so they don't go more than 4 hours without food, thereby (according to you, RUINING their metabolism). Please, just don't.
OP, eat the kind of breakfast you want (or none), if it fits into your daily allotment and it makes you feel good. We need food to live, but we are allowed to enjoy eating it too.
Eat a big snack right before bed. This will boost your metabolism while you are sleeping, and you don't wake up in starvation mode. This obviously works, because I always wake up almost 2 pounds lighter than when I went to bed ..0 -
As many have already posted ... when you eat and how much per meal doesn't really matter just make sure you are getting enough ... some people are grazers, some people eat 2 or 3 times a day ... find what works best for you :drinker:0

It doesn't matter. Unless having a bigger breakfast helps you to not eat too much later in the day.0

If you go more than 4 hours without food then your blood sugar will drop which in turn drops your metabolism. If your metabolism is low then your body won't burn calories.
That's not true. Also, your body burns calories just being alive... Unless after the 4 hour Window. ..zombies
I have to disagree because it's not the point that your body burn calories just by being alive. The point is it will burn slow and will not burn enough to lose weight.
You can disagree all you want, it doesn't change the fact that you're wrong. Your body can't tell time, and the changes in metabolism are so minute, and so slow that you'll never notice them, especially not within a four hour window. Meal timing is meaningless to weight loss, and to the previous poster who mentioned a high protein breakfast to speed metabolism, false, the same principle applies.
OP eat a big, or small, or no breakfast if that's what suits your lifestyle, calorie deficit is what matters.
Rigger
We are not wrong just because you don't agree with us. Your body knows when it needs food in order to balance your blood sugar and increase your metabolism. A four hour window is a long time for some people to go without food if their goal is to lose weight.
You are here telling people they are wrong. Where did you get your medical or nutritional degree? No, I don't have one but I follow the advice of those do. How about you?0 -
First of all there is something very nasty about your attitude if you're going to body shame any type of idividual, Soapfan777, and it's completely inappropriate here.
To the OP, you're just going to have to figure out what works best for you. I wake up super early and have some coffee with almond cocnut milk, but I don't have breakfast until I get to work at 8. And even then, it's only a whey protein drink unless I'm off and going on a long ride. I find that the more I eat sooner, the hungrier I tend to be afterwards. I do eat a pretty decent size lunch and a snack in the morning and afternoon, to help keep me from getting too hungry and making bad decsions. I find that what I eat makes a huge difference with that too. But some people do better with a big breakfast no matter what they're doing that day. Do some experimenting and planning ahead, and try to have fun with it. This is a journey you want to be on for a very long time0 -

Who is this "we" you speak of? Last time I checked you're in this one alone with your nonsense opinions on metabolism. You do know that medical opinion changes over time correct? At one point, the standard cure for most diseases was blood-letting. Do you think it's possible that you and your "medical professionals" none of which you have actually cited, are propagating outdated science? Or is that just way outside your narrow scope of understanding?
