Why eating breakfast is good. not to mention lunch and dinne

So sometimes people like to skip breakfast or skip certain meals like lunch or dinner or skip them all together. This isn't good for you and your metabolism slows down and you don't lose weight. Doctors can explain that process better than I can but I can explain it in a way that makes some sense. to me anyhow.

eating is like building a fire.
breakast is your starter log. this is what gets the fire started and going. a snack in between is good to snuff the fire a little because after time the wood in the fire burns down so it needs to get going again. a small snack is like adding some twigs.
lunch is like adding on another log or two to your fire. it gets the fire going strong again to burn longer.
have another snack after a while to get the fire up a little
Dinner. Same as the others but this time it's like adding 2 or three more logs to your fire. now your fire is cooking and will burn through the night.

Now your back to the following day and you notice you have some embers in your fire. so you throw on a log to get the fire started again for the day.

So I hope that my analogy of why eating is good for you helps anyone else out there.
