Dinner for Breakfast

I had been trying to eat a healthy low calorie breakfast like oatmeal and fruit but I found that my sugar was dropping and I would overeat all day just to feel better.
Now I eat about 400 calories at breakfast and it's dinner. I eat a normal lunch and usually breakfast foods for dinner. I am fairly new to this but I think its working. tomorrow I am having turkey, dressing and mashed potatoes for breakfast another day I will have soup and sandwich and so on. I usually have fruit or yogurt between morning and noon.
Has anyone else tried this?

    I haven't tried dinner for breakfast on a regular basis. Sometimes leftover pizza but that's all.
    I love oatmeal but it is not enough breakfast for me. I usually have whole grain bread toasted and a fried egg. I need more protein than the oatmeal has. A couple of hours after that some fruit for a snack. Then it's lunch time.

    I've never tried that. thankfully I haven't had that issue yet. but that's a good way to do it when it works for you :)

    I couldn't eat those foods in the morning, my stomach just couldn't handle it, but I have heard you should eat your biggest meal at breakfast. if it's working for you then that's great!

    I generally eat big breakfasts of 350-450 calories. I still do breakfast foods, just lots of them. I LOVE breakfast! I love eggs and toast and oatmeal and canadian bacon...om nomnom.
