Default Feel Free to Skip Breakfast Again and Again and Again

Appears no one even bothered to post the latest ridiculous study and resulting media articles on the Horrors of Skipping Breakfast, but The Skeptical Cardiologist and Peter Attia, MD critiqued it, so this is worth a post.

The Skeptical Cardiologist tackles the "most important meal of the day"
by Anthony Pearson, MD

It seems like every 2 years the Skeptical Cardiologist has to defend skipping breakfast.
I first described how irritating and puzzling I find the concept that skipping breakfast causes obesity and heart disease in a 2013 post entitled "Breakfast is not the most important meal of the day: feel free to skip it." When I'm irritated with a ridiculous concept I ask lots of questions:

-Why would I eat breakfast if I am not hungry in order to lose weight?
-What constitutes breakfast?
-Is it the first meal you eat after sleeping?
-If so, wouldn't any meal eaten after sleeping qualify even it is eaten in the afternoon?
-Is eating a donut first thing in the morning really healthier than eating nothing?
-Why would your first meal be more important than the last?
-Isn't it the content of what we eat that is important more than the timing?

Most of the studies on the proposed effect of breakfast on obesity (PEBO), I pointed out, are observational studies which cannot prove causality and the few, small prospective randomized studies don't clearly support the hypothesis.
I suggested that PEBO comes from the breakfast food and cereal industry and should be ignored.

Continues, including link to Dr. Attia's response

The term "Breakfast" is often confused with the idea that it's a first-thing-in-the-morning meal. That's unfortunate, as the term indicates nothing of the sort. Pearson and Attia provide the detailed rationale why the "most important" label is just foolish. Good information to share. My mantra to eat to satiety when hungry and don't eat when not hungry applies to my eating schedule. My one rule is to not eat on a regular basis my last meal of the day too close to sleep time.

Thanks for the conformation--- I dont push my kids to eat breakfast.

At school, lunch is about at 10:45.... and on the weekends we sleep late, and by the time I cook breakfast , we eat about 11 am.

Skipping " breakfast" is just one of many changes in hopes of staving off childhood obesity.

I never wanted to eat first thing in the morning. I get hungry enough between 10 and 2 to eat then, and sometimes, that's it.
