    I also like skipping breakfast. The rest of my day is easier if I skip breakfast since I don't seem very hungry right in the mornings, AND my stomach is a little finicky and food sort of makes me sick right when I wake up. Hasn't caused me any problems to skip it and I just play it by ear whether or not I even want to eat right when I get up.

    No. Meal timing is irrelevant to weight loss. Focus on total calories and if you don't want breakfast don't eat it.

    beat me to it….

    I believe in a good breakast. It sets me up for the rest of the day. I've found not skipping ANY meals is in my best interest.

    However, I don't impose my lifestyle on others. Do whatever works for you.

    According to the National Weight Control Registry, one thing the most successful losers have in common is that they eat breakfast.

    And if you eat about half your calories for breakfast, then a small dinner (more of a snack) you'll lose more weight than if you skip breakfast, or if you follow the typical American plan of a small breakfast & large dinner (see the last half of this post for the studies, with quotes & links).

    So no, you don't have to eat breakfast. Your mother is no longer standing there taking care of you.
    But things will likely turn out better if you do.

    that is total rubbish ….

    I know plenty of people that do intermittent fasting and have no issues with any of their weight loss and/or fitness goals….

    To get logical here, whatever meal breaks your overnight fast is breakfast. So technically, you're not skipping it and technically it really is the most important meal of the day because if you didn't break your fast at some point, you'd eventually starve to death. Your body doesn't recognise what the numbers on a clock mean, so don't worry about it.
