Is breakfast really all that?
I'm already getting up at 6 am in order to get to work so I have trained myself out of breakfast as I like my sleep. As long as overall calories / macros etc. for the day are met, does it much matter that I don't generally eat on weekdays until lunchtime?

Calories by average heart rate
I use this site to calculate my exercise calories. http://www.triathlontrainingblog.com/calculators/calories-burned-calculator-based-on-average-heart-rate/ I get my average heart rate from my HRM. I get quite high calorie estimates - about 800 for 50 mins at an average of 153. Would this seem OK for a 109KG male?
