Am I doing any harm if I skip breakfast, but still meet my minimal calorie goals throughout the day?

    Meal timing doesn't matter. If you aren't comfortable eating in the morning, don't eat then.

    Skip it if you want to skip it.

    Yes it is ok to not eat breakfast. Eat when you're hungry and within your calorie goal. Timing doesn't matter.

    awesome! :) Just wanted to make sure, since people always say "breakfast is the most important meal in the day".

    The cereal companies coined that phrase to get people's money. Personally I have to eat breakfast or I'll binge later in the day, but others can be ill if they eat early.

    Yep, you're good, I do both!
    Weekdays I eat a big breakfast, weekends none!

    look up intermittent fasting some say that eating fewer hours a day has great benefits.

    I have about 1-2 meals a day starting from 3pm. You'll be fine
