Anyone else skip breakfast?

I don't eat until 1pm. Only coffee/tea with a little skimmed milk.

Many people do this, it's called intermittent fasting.

My husband is not a breakfast person. He's not a morning person. His circadian rhythm is primed for nighttime. It's hard for him to eat unless he's been awake for at least two hours, preferably not until noon. He can go to the gym and work out at midnight.
I'm a morning person. Feed me within an hour of getting out of bed, or I'll probably gnaw your arm off. And by midnight, I'm in bed, asleep. By about 7 pm, I'm done for.

I am up around 5:00 a.m. Have a cup of coffee with almond milk and a tbsp of creamer around 7:00. My first food of the day is usually Greek yogurt and berries sometime between 9:00 and 10:00, whenever my stomach starts growling. If I eat breakfast early, I get more hungry throughout the day and end up eating more calories.

I do this. I sometimes get physically ill if I eat too early, aside from coffee, so I eat around 1:00-ish, sometimes later. It helps, because nighttime can be my downfall with shoving food in my mouth if I'm not careful.

Some days I'm not a breakfast person. Like today I wasn't hungry when I woke up so I didn't eat until noon. Other days I wake up starving so I eat. I love that meal timing doesn't matter.

Meal timing is irrelevant if you're healthy (it's different with people with insulin issues etc. ) so it's absolutely fine to do whatever works best for you. I feel a bit sick when I eat first thing in the morning but I feel really lethargic if I eat nothing, so I usually choke down a protein bar with my coffee and that's fine for me until lunch.

Ive hardly ever eaten breakfast since I was in grade school.
When I wake up (7am) I have coffee with my pills/vitamin (ill get nauseous if I don't at least have coffee w/ milk). I typically don't get hungry until noon. I have a two-three large snacks/small meals. I also eat a late dinner.

If I eat breakfast then I will be hungry much sooner and for the rest of the day. No point in eating if I'm not hungry, especially since I'm trying to lose weight!

I also drink only tea with milk until lunch time which is usually about 1pm. My first meal during the week tends to be left overs of whatever I ate for dinner the night before. Today chicken breast, veggies, mashed sweet potato and corn on the cob. I rarely eat 'breakfast food' during the week unless it's brinner, love me a bit of brinner. On the weekend I often eat my first meal around 11am and it's more likely to be 'breakfast food'.

Have been eating like this for about 2-3 years now.

Echoing what the others have said, meal timing doesn't matter as long as you're getting adequate nutrition. I don't see how eating when you're not hungry could ever be a good strategy if you're trying to lose weight provided you've got a normal appetite and you're not severely under eating.

Don't be surprised if you get told frequently that you're naughty for skipping breakfast. For years the whole breakfast is the most important meal of the day, 6 small meals to stoke the metabolic fire message has been pumped out to people. There's an increasing body of scientific evidence to show otherwise but as usual with these things it takes the public a long time to catch up.

At the end of the day you need to do what works for you and makes you feel good.

I can't get myself to eat anything within the first hour of waking up. I'm not a big breakfast person at all, so I drink a protein shake with dried oats to get my protein and cals in as early as possible. Breakfast actually speeds up the metabolism so I'd try getting something in that's light on your stomach and doesn't bloat you. Eating several small healthy meals thoughout the day is great for speeding up the metabolism. Yogert with some fruit in it is light enough to not bloat the stomach.

Eating a late dinner is not a good practice while trying to lose weight.
