I have skipped breakfast since college when I was much more concerned about bulking up. I drink two coffees and that gets me through til lunch. I’ve never really considered alternatives to this routine. If I wanted to experiment with breakfasts what do people recommend eating? The priority would be energy levels, and mental clarity since I tend to work better in the morning.
> Background: Meal skipping has become an increasing trend of the modern lifestyle that may lead to obesity and type 2 diabetes. That is not what I was expecting this to be about. Now I'm thinking, how does this relate to the intermittent fasting trend? Are people meal skipping and calling it intermittent fasting? Or are the people who are meal skipping generally not interested in "wellness community" trends like IF?
It's just a clumsy sentence. They are trying to say that modern lifestyle leads to obesity, not fasting.
First sentences of the introduction.
> In conclusion, a causal role of breakfast skipping for the development of obesity is not supported by the present data.
Last sentence of the paper.

Banana on toast, or just a banana to begin with
n=17, so read nothing into this result. Also, what they tested is having no fixed eating schedule. The effects (if any) of skipping breakfast every day consistently are not measured.
i don't get why some studies have so few partipants. How hard is it to recruit people for something like this? We're not talking rare diseases.

This study did the former:
> The duration of the study is 7 days including 3 days with controlled diet and 4 days (including 5 nights) in a metabolic chamber at the Institute of Nutritional Medicine at the University of Hohenheim.
I imagine it was prohibitively expensive to have more participants.

I agree that what is missing is to measure skipping meals for a longer time period, like a month, at least.

These comments are always so hilarious. It demonstrates a significant lack of understand of how statistics actually works. You see this on reddit all the time, you'd think it'd be better here. Power and sample size are determined by numerous factors depending on the question under study. You could have N=10 be statistically powerful and N=1,000,000 be statistically meaningless. It depends ENTIRELY on the subject unde…

I do have a PhD, but thank you for your input anyway.
