Not eating breakfast... Does this effect your weight. I work 3pm-1am go to bed at 2am. I have pasta and a yoghurt for lunch then have some beans and a wrap for dinner and a yoghurt at about 8pm x

    Meal timing has no bearing on your weight

    Just overall calorie consumption

    As long as it doesn't cause you to overeat later, it's fine

    No, you can eat whenever you want.

    The suggestion to eat breakfast is to prevent overeating later, and if this isn't an issue for you, no worries.

    If you can do it and not overeat later, by all means, go for it. I know a few people who can't stomach breakfast in the morning, so I wouldn't force it if this is also an issue for you.

    Not eating breakfast made be hard on your health, but it doesn't impact your weight.

    Not eating breakfast has no impact on anything if it works for you and doesn't cause you to overeat later.

    It's not hard on your health.

    Not eating breakfast isn't an issue for weight loss. However, since we've been fasting for 6 - 8 hours while sleeping, it's not a bad idea to refuel in the morning.

    Personally, I wake up starving and get cranky if I don't eat breakfast, so I always do. Actually, I'm really in a better mood all day if I eat regularly spaced out meals.

    I have read that going without eating for extended periods of time can cause your blood pressure to rise.

    I'd also like to point out that everyone technically eats breakfast. When you first eat after waking IS technically breaking your fast, your first meal of the day. Your body doesn't care what you call it.

    Regarding the "health" issue, there are benefits (I'd like to know more about them and probably should since I practice this... bad Peachy!) to intermittent fasting, which is having a longer period of time between your last meal of one day and your first meal of the next. I'm going to look into those and get back to that since someone had to drop a comment in this thread and make it all silly.

    Do you have a source for this?

    I've read lots of studies recently to say that longer periods of fasting are good for you. It's easy to read things and get confused (lots of money to be made in this market if you have a strong opinion and something to sell). I think you just have to go with what works for you.

    I used to skip breakfast all the time and it didn't impact my weight loss. The only thing that does is calories in vs. calories out. Timing is irrelevant. I only eat breakfast now because apparently I can't handle coffee without food anymore.

    What makes your blood pressure rise more though, can you put them in order?

    not eating breakfast
    idiots
    sodium
    pregnancy
    lazy people expecting you to fix all their problems for them
    children being insufferably childish
    parents sticking their nose in
    being overweight
    fatuous comments
    husbands saying they'll do something and not doing it for weeks
