No breakfast is not a must. What are your goals?0

It's all personal preference. Some people here eat once per day; some six times per day. Whatever works best for you.
If you don't like to eat breakfast, don't. The recommendation to eat bfast is for those who overeat later in the day due to skipping bfast.0 -

You won't gain muscle while eating in a calorie deficit, sorry.
You can have as many meals a day as you'd like if you stay under your calorie goal.0 -
Exactly as many as it takes, that's how many.0

Is there any way of coming to a meet in the middle. Losing weight - gaining muscle. With food?0

Oh when I found out that meal timing doesn't matter the last 10 pounds just fell off. I usually eat 500 - 700 calories during the day then at night I get to eat 1000 - 1300 it's wonderful.0

Yes you can. Just eat between your BMR and TDEE. It's called a "cut".Just trying to lose a few while gaining muscle .. I want nice small meals but how many per day.. Been trying to put as much good calories in me as possible.

Seriously, as many or as few as it takes for me to meet my calorie goals, aiming to meet my macros as well (carbs/fat/protein).

With the exception of noob gains, you won't be building in a deficit. Eat at about 200 under maintenance and lift heavy.0

Nope. That's actually the definition of a deficit. Eating AT your TDEE would be maintenance. Above that is where you have the caloric energy to build muscle.0 -
I lift pretty well tbh.. I just need to lose a bit.. It's going, just slowly ..........

That's why it's done after a bulk. "Bulk and cut" to create lean. tata -leaves-Childfree1991 wrote: »

You're talking about a complicated concept that isn't helpful to the OP if you don't explain all the components and just spend your time correcting me.0 -

Your ticker says you have 60 lbs to lose, is this accurate? If yes, then focus on getting a calorie deficit of at least 500 calories per day. Eat the number of meals that work best for you. While losing the weight, follow an established progressive weight lifting program. You'll get stronger and as the weight comes off whatever muscle you have will start to show.
