Earlier quoted context omitted.
If anybody is telling you to eat when you are not hungry, check to see if they are selling something.
This is the kind of thing that sounds right but makes absolutely no sense at all Exactly because the sense of hunger is not correlated with the exact need to eat is that we have obesity. Eating only when hungry sounds like a good idea but then you get (usually fat) people complaining they are hungry all the time. An average adult will spend around 12h (and probably more) physiologically fine without food, until its g…

#142I'm disappointed on how the author missed intermittent fasting which, even not being scientific consensus, has many studies in favor of not breaking the fast.
Re: There’s Nothing Magical About Breakfast
#143Well, magical or not, I do not want to be hungry until lunch.
Re: There’s Nothing Magical About Breakfast
#144This reads like "I don't eat breakfast, so here's the reasons why I'm right." Studies that support his conclusion, while flawed, are probably right. Studies that oppose it are obviously tainted by various problems. The fact that research shows that breakfast is actually beneficial for children is hand-waved away because 'reasons'. This is honestly just a low-quality, cherry-picked opinion piece by someone who really…
>The fact that research shows that breakfast is actually beneficial for children is hand-waved away because 'reasons'. As a casual observer of this topic, it seems like breakfast is necessary for humans who want to grow: kids and people adding muscle mass. If you want to lose weight or maintain breakfast can probably be skipped.
There is a very large following of Intermittent Fasting in the bodybuilding community. Tens/hundreds of thousands of consistent weightlifters who do not eat breakfast or lunch and put on impressive mass. Your body doesn't care about daily fluctuations, calories in/calories out, count your macros. Fin.
So I disagree with your casual conclusion.

#145My breakfast was magical - amazing smoked kippers, marmalade and toast, freshly roasted and ground filter coffee, a handful of fresh berries, and that was just the first course!
Re: There’s Nothing Magical About Breakfast
#146There's nothing magical about the way the author dismiss breakfast either. In the end it's an article where the author says that "breakfast research is flawed" and "I don't like breakfast". I'm disappointed on how the author missed intermittent fasting which, even not being scientific consensus, has many studies in favor of not breaking the fast.

#148Yikes, I hate to be "that" person, but when I pulled up that link it was worse than a paywall. They said I can either subscribe, or whitelist them on my adblocker. No preview of the content or anything. No thanks, I'll take a pass on the malware this time and just read the comments from people willing to get through on here.
But using AdBlockPro, I had no issues with this link.

#149Why does everything have to be so polarized anymore?
Re: There’s Nothing Magical About Breakfast
#150I used to not eat breakfast. I'd be starving at 11:45am when it was time to go out to lunch with my coworkers.
I decided to make some changes in my diet so I wasn't so hungry for lunch and could make better choices. Started eating a healthy breakfast every morning.
I was starving by 12:00pm.
So, for my anecdatel point, I think it has more to do with when your body expects food than actual hunger.
