Skipping Breakfast?

Eat when you're hungry. If you're not hungry, don't eat. It doesn't matter what time of day you eat.

I can't give you any advice or knowledge... but i'm this boat with you as well.
Been really bad for that this week. Looking to see what others say.

I typically skip breakfast because I'm not hungry. There is no proof that the timing of meals is important for weight loss. Eat when you are hungry and don't shove in food when you're not. I usually have my first meal as lunch, so my feed window is from about 1 p.m. to 7 or 8 p.m. I've lost 113 pounds in a year and recomping of my body is coming along nicely. So it works.

Some will say it kick starts your metabolism and stuff and there is truth to that I guess.

There isn't any truth to that. Feel free to skip breakfast if you find it works for you.

I don't believe skipping breakfast is evil as long as you are meeting your daily intake requirements.

Some will say it kick starts your metabolism and stuff and there is truth to that I guess.

I just try to eat within 12 hours of not eating (ex. after I stop for for the evening and when I was asleep.)

I would not skip breakfast just because you find it starts the eating machine, eating is good and allowed, just make the correct choices.

What he said!

On a serious note, I personally found eating breakfast to be very beneficial for me. Sets you up for the day and in my experience leads to eating less.

If you stop losing weight then I would suggest trying to eat breakfast, but as long as your losing I wouldn't worry about it. I believe skipping breakfast can slow your metabolism down but like I said if your still losing weight don't worry about it if not then eat it

Hearing something doesn't necessarily make it true.

There are no actual studies proving this to be a fact. There are cereal companies who are very, very profitable. So there's that.

I am the exact opposite. I have to have breakfast or I will be miserable until lunch. This is probably because I stop eating by at least 2-3 hrs before bed. I don't have to have a lot, but I've found that foods with high protein work best FOR ME in the morning.

There are many studies that recommend eating breakfast, but it is up to you. I personally think, if you're not hungry then don't force it. But at least get your required calories in for the day with healthy foods. Nutrients are what matter here.

Technically, you're not "skipping" breakfast. The meal that breaks your fast is breakfast!

OK, I bet that was incredibly fastidious... but the point to make.... sounds like you practice intermittent fasting. I know that there will be a lot of conflicting information on how good/bad this practice is, but I for one think that it is good to let the body feel hungry. When I fast, my thoughts are clearer and my mood is better (after the initial shock of hunger). If this works for you, then do what works for you.

I try to eat breakfast, because I am trying to get my daughter into good habits to eat something before school and usually when i wake up I am hungry. However, when I get busy with deliveries at the end of the week I am sometimes up and out early without breakfast , though i do try and squeeze in a coffee
I dont feel hungry and sometimes have been known not to eat until early afternoon but it hasnt hindered my weight loss.
Do what feels right for you and listen to your body, you can always change things up if you want to
good luck with your weight loss x

Skipping breakfast is absolutely fine. The only "evidence" to suggest eating breakfast is that studies done have shown those that skipped breakfast tend to eat more throughout the day than those that do eat breakfast. Basically, those skipping breakfast usually had more calories built up over the 24 hour period.

There is absolutely NO scientific basis to suggest that the mere act of skipping breakfast leads to weight gain. Correlation IS NOT causation.

So long as you count your calories and meet your nutrition needs while remaining in a calorie deficit, you will be fine.

When you are hungry, drink a glass of water and wait a little bit (like 15min), if still hungry, go ahead and go eat.

I personally eat breakfast because if i dont i will eat like crazy for the rest of the day, but i agree with others do what works for you and just eat when you are hungry, i also eat every couple of hours if i dont i can tell then i start craving all really bad stuff, i guess i have my body on a somewhat schedule when it comes to eating, but again if what you doing works for you and from the pounds lossed it looks like it is keep going with it!!!

Until I began this journey, I rarely ate breakfast. But, I was a snacker and ate way too much after dinner and late at night. I have found that eating breakfast now eases my late night snacking cravings. I don't eat a lot for breakfast, usually ~250-300 calories.

Everyone is different and obviously you are seeing progress so I wouldn't change your routine. However, if you plateau and struggle, I'd re-evaluate skipping breakfast.

Good luck!

Personally speaking, I eat breakfast everyday. It is a good way to start your metabolism and I feel like I get more from the meal as a result. That being said, if you feel like your current routine is working then stick with it unless you are looking to change things up.

i skip breakfast because i'd rather save my calories for later in the day. if i eat breakfast i'm hungry an hour later no matter what i eat. i have found for myself that if i eat something large in the morning i just want to eat allll day long! if i eat something small or skip breakfast entirely i control myself a lot better. i still eat my entire calories just much later in the day. i'm also a late night snacker so i like to be sure to have enough calories for something later.
