    Not eating breakfast is bad advice for many who need to be productive in the morning. You need to start your metabolism early and keep it running through the day. Lots of small healthy snacks all day keeps your metabolism running. And your brain needs energy from food in the morning unless your job doesn’t require any critical thinking.

      I’ve had the opposite experience, I feel sharper in the morning with just some coffee/tea, than after a breakfast.

      Though everyone reacts differently, so if something is working for you keep at it!

      That’s not how metabolism works. You’d need to get into a starvation state before the number of calories getting burned changes significantly - and that takes a long time.

      If you actually need constant snacks throughout the day, you should get checked for diabetes.

        Telling someone to get checked for diabetes is rude. There are nicer ways to talk about glycogen stores getting exhausted every 2-3 hours resulting in the modern snack culture.

            You can keep your internet diagnoses to yourself. My doctor told me that eating small portions throughout the day is a healthy habit to keep the gastrointestinal system working throughout the day, and ends up helping you lose weight.
