Personally, I'm really mystified by this wide-spread notion of breakfast having such an overwhelming effect on weight gain. I can appreciate the rationale of it being an important meal to break the fast, moderate blood sugar, or fuelling to start the day, and all of that; but, skipping breakfast having a positive correlation to obesity?

I've skipped breakfast the past 10 years of my life. From as much habit as necessity, since the first 5 of those 10 years my day started at 6 am. I have never felt a compulsion to eat more just because I skipped breakfast. Moreover, skipping breakfasts has never adversely affected my morning runs either.

So, I'll never understand the big deal with breakfast. As far as I'm concerned, skipping breakfast has kept me in better shape than if I insist on eating it even if I'm not hungry in the morning. I mean, who is hungry when first awaking?
