I haven't eaten a morning breakfast for years except when I'm on business travel and I never know what I'm going to discover for a lunch. That being said, in my carb addicted, glucose fueled days, I ate a hearty and what I thought was a healthy early morning breakfast, but by 11:30, I would start to feel tired and weak until I consumed some food, specifically carbs. Also, it seemed that the greater quantity consumed at breakfast would result in more quantity consumed at every other meal for the day. Interesting article, but for me, I eat my first meal mid-day and it's usually mostly fat and protein. I'm not hungry until then and there have been times when I've forgotten to eat and then reverted to OMAD. My 5-hour window from my first meal to my last works best for me, and it's usually from 12:30 to 5:30. During the 18 or so hours that I'm not eating, I get into a solid fat burning mode, so the following morning, I have lots of energy.
Not sure who coined the phrase that "breakfast is the most important meal of the day," but I'm betting it was a cereal, yogurt, or pop tart manufacturer. As I look back to the times that I believed this, I'm shocked at how unhealthy a practice this was.
