Skipping breakfast

I know that eating breakfast is important, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, skipping it is bad and so on, but I skipped breakfast every day this week and it made me want to eat less in the afternoon, plus it's great seeing that I'm consuming less calories without feeling hungry.

What about you? Is breakfast an absolute must for you or do you sometimes skip it?

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day is a myth. It's just a meal like any other. Many people don't have breakfast and lose weight and are very healthy. Meal timing makes absolutely no difference. Personally I like a breakfast but that's a personal choice and works well for me. Just to add though if your consuming less calories because of this make sure you are still eating enough. If you have a meal called breakfast or not you still need to consume a certain amount of calories a day

i dont personally eat breakfast, when i do it just makes me want too eat more through the whole day, but it makes me feel sick when i do so i avoid it, just keep hydrated

I was forced to eat breakfast every morning for 6 months, and in all honesty I didn't feel a difference between having it and not having it. That was while I was extremely active everyday.

I'm the same as you, in that it makes me feel sick. I very rarely have breakfast now.

When I am hungry I eat breakfast but when I am not,I don't. I used to "force" (not really force but you know...) myself to eat breakfast but I can't care less anymore :P

I guess that the state that eating breakfast is very important evolved, amongst others, from the fact that you need to absorb some fuel at the beginning of the day to go to work and perform your further activities. But the processes in human body are not that simple. The lifestyle of individuals also differs a lot now and this general rule may not concern everybody.

I eat breakfast because I found that I snack less between the meals then. Also due to this I eat my supper earlier and my metabolism in the evening works considerably slowlier. So in my case it's simply a better choice.

However, at weekends I may eat my breakfast a bit later if I exercise in the morning. It's good to exercise with empty stomach from time to time in case you want to lose weight. The body absorbs the energy using fat at a considerably higher rate than using carbs.

I have always heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and it helps your metabolism if you are eating frequently. But I have recently found I am not as hungry throughout the day if I haven't eaten breakfast. Not really sure why.

If my tummy wouldn't grumble I'm not sure I would eat breakfast. Sometimes by lunch time I am so ready for more food, so I don't believe skipping brekky would be appropriate for me at this time

If I skip breakfast, it's a disaster. I'm chasing the hungries all day long, I make poor food choices, and I just in general feel crappy. So, for me, breakfast is absolutely essential. My theory is that by morning I have been fasting for 12+ hours so I need fuel to function and get through my day. I do not understand people who eat large meals late in the evening. Why do you need fuel to sleep?

Every body is different. You just have to find what works for you.

I don't know that I eat to fuel any specific activity. I do a 3 hour workout on Saturday mornings and it's all I can do to haul myself and my gym bag in the car on time. Breakfast is the last thing on my mind. As someone who likes large quantities of food and calories, not getting enough food is just not a real problem. I eat to satisfy cravings, for deliciousness, for overall health, and for weight loss

If I don't have a substantial breakfast each morning, I will hurt people. I wake up hungry. But that's me.

Me too! But my daughter rarely eats breakfast because like some people have said it either makes her hungrier or feeling sick, whatever works for you
