    I agree with everyone. So it's not harmful if I take light things like a fruit or light snacks in breakfast and save my calories for rest of the day.

    Why are we yelling about breakfast?
    I love breakfast and breakfast foods. Eat it or don't, whatever suits your life best. As long as you're within your calorie deficit it doesn't matter as far as weight loss goes.

    I heard that if you skip breakfast you will get fat so was confused. And I was not yelling I asking......if the capital letters and the question marks has bothered you then I am sorry :)

    If you like breakfast, eat it. If you don't like or can't eat breakfast, don't eat it. :)

    I tend to eat breakfast when I get to work, I can't eat as soon as I wake up because the thought of food makes me feel sick. I have weird shifts so breakfast time is either 9:15am or 9:45am. My breakfast is usualy only something small as well because I'd rather have a bigger lunch to keep me going till dinner.

    I find that I feel a lot better during the day when I eat a protein heavy breakfast, like two eggs or a protein bar. I keep mine small but I just have more energy to do things, and doing more = burning more so haha

    I absolutely cannot stand eating "breakfast" (read: anything within 2 hours of waking up.)

    That being said, I've read that people who skip breakfast tend to eat more food than usual at their next meal... or nibble on higher-calorie snacks in order to not feel as hungry.

    Another thing about me: I am very rarely "feeling hungry." I can eat an apple and feel "full." I rather eat because there is ridiculously delicious food around me or because I am stressed/bored. So not eating breakfast has never bothered me per se.

    Some studies suggest that people tend to add more body fat when they eat fewer, larger meals than when they eat the same number of calories in smaller, more frequent meals. Other studies show that weight management can be equally effective without breakfast. To be honest, you'd find studies that argue both sides successfully.

    Nowadays I drink a low calorie fruit smoothie I prepare myself with the Vitamix within an hour of waking up. I make sure I have a big variety of fruits to work with at any given time. For example, right now I have the following at my disposal: peaches, cherries, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, bananas, kiwis, apples, pears, mixed berries, mango and pineapple. (Some of them are frozen.) This way, I can pick something different every morning.

    The first point...that's true for me and why I need to eat breakfast, but it isn't true for everyone.

    As for size and frequency of meals...it doesn't matter when it comes to weight loss. I've lost 61 pounds eating 3 meals a day.

    I never eat breakfast except on weekends when I can make a big fancy one. I drink a cup of coffee and wait until lunch. I'm not hungry in the morning but I am hungry after my workout until bed. It makes sense for me to keep my calories saved up for the time I'm hungry instead of forcing myself to eat in the am.

    No need to force yourself to eat it.
