it's important for weight loss and general good health to give your body a steady supply of nutrients and calories. It also helps keep your metabolism revved up. So, no...please don't skip meals unless you absolutely can't avoid it. I know how it is to get busy and forget to eat, I've done it myself a time or two, but if you make a habit of it your metabolism and your weight loss will suffer for it. What helps for me is to cook ahead on the weekend and try to keep a supply of cooked meats in the refrigerator that can be quickly grabbed and reheated or eaten cold on the run. Hard boiled eggs are also handy for this purpose as well as cheese cubes. I also went to my local party supply store and bought a pack of small cups with lids (the kind that restaurants serve salad dressing in) so that I can pour some salad dressing in them myself to pack in a lunch with raw veggies for dipping. Very quick and easy!
