Is skipping breakfast bad?
Question:
Is it better to eat breakfast and keep the pounds, or is there an alternative to skipping breakfat? I'm a pretty active girl, I love shooting hoops and being outside.
Answers:
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day!
First let me start by saying that if you are physically active that is the best way to lose weight. At 15 years old chances are you are still growing so don't cut your calories too much!
I eat breakfast everyday now that I have been helped to understand how important it really is. The overnight gap is the longest period of time our bodies go without food in a 24hr. period. If you stretch that gap your body will begin to shift into fasting mode. That means that any food that you do finally eat will be stored as fat and kept on your body longer. Your body becomes uncertain when it will be replenished so it begins to create a sort of energy storage.
Also if you are doing this to lose weight studies prove that breakfast skippers actually have more problems with obesity and diabetes because it increases insulin resistance. That is a big deal!!
A lack of appetite in the morning may be the result of a large meal or snack consumed the night before. Perk up your morning appetite by eating lighter and earlier in the evenings.
This website gives more complete evidence to support what I have said. NO STUDIES claim that skipping breakfast is an ok way to lose weight.

BRAIN NEEDS FOOD IN THE MORNING IT HELPS WITH SCHOOL, YOU NEED FOOD BREAKFAST FOR LEARNING
Honestly, breakfast is one of the most important meals you can eat, it's what gets your body going for the rest of the day. I wouldn't recommend skipping any meals, it's really unhealthy to do that. If you're concerned about weight, try eating your meals, but cutting back on portion sizes. If you're really active, you should be eating, though.
cut off eating late at night instead because you are usually not doing much at night, well, sometimes.
eat breakfast. how do you figure you are a little overweight? you said your active.. muscle weighs more than fat.. so are you overweight or just muscular? if you are overweight change what your eating. but still eat.
no it helps you get your day started.
yes you should always eat breakfast its the most important meal of the day
I was the same way at your age, but now I am heavier then normal. One thing I have relearned with age is.eat all the fatty foods you want for breakfast..cause you will burn it off during the day.now have a lighter lunch and skip supper is the healthy leaner alternative.
I'm not much older than you and I've done experiments with different types of breakfast and none at all and I realized that skipping breakfast is not a great idea.it really helps you funtion better and since your active weight should not be a problem.try a few 12 minute runs and watch the pounds slip off.

No, studies have shown that girls who eat breakfast are skinnier. The earlier you eat in the day, the more calories you burn as you are active during the day and not so much at night. And skipping breakfast takes away some of your energy, I used to hate eating breakfast, but now I can totally feel the difference if I skip even one day. Eat your breakfast even if it's light, skipping breakfast does NOT make you lose weight. And besides your probably gorgeous and dont need to be skinnier anyways. :)
Eathing breakfast speeds up your metabolism, allowing you to loose weight. Eating just before bed helps you gain weight.
Seriously, just drinking a glass of juice within an hour after you wake up will help.
Breakfast is the most important part of the day. It gets you started and gives you a refresh energy boost at the end of the day. Cereals burn in 3 hrs (not good). 2 eggs, a meat (bacon, sausage, ham) toast (wheat or rye) a glass of orange juice should get you going and your body stores the fat for later use of energy. Eating lunch and supper is important because your body stores the protein and fats for later when your body says give me more energy!
Try eating 6 small portions of food each day.instead of the 3 basic ones!! It keeps your metabolism up and you will lose weight faster! I don't think you should skip breakfast, though! It really is the most important meal of the day!! Hope this helps.
u should always eat so your body dosnt think it is starving it self, but just dont eat so much. like say u get lost out in the middle of the desert, what r u to do with no food, your body restores its fat just incase u wont be able to eat for a while. trust me im working on a diet right now.but my way of doing so is a small breakfast, a big lunch, and no dinner..(no snacks) i hope this helps you
Skipping breakfast is not the way to lose weight. Just eat a balanced breakfast, like a banana and toast, and regular meals. The hard thing is not snacking on junk food. That's the main thing, just being aware of what you eat. Skip that bowl of ice cream you're craving, and have some wheat thins or yogurt instead. If you get into this habit of eating a healthy and balanced diet, I guarantee you'll lose weight without being unhealthy. Just DON'T skip breakfast! It's not healthy.

Hey, yes skipping breakfast is bad. Your body is constantly storing food and breaking down to help you grow. Your body does this based on the rate of consumption. The more times you eat the more your body will work and the more breaking down and burning off of excess it will do. It is actually better for you to eat 4-6 small meals a day with little snacking. You want to eat small meals because it helps to keep your stomach small, the smaller your stomach the less you can eat at one time and the more rapidly it would burn off.. If you are no more than your healthy weight for your age I wouldn't worry about loosing a few pounds. As you grow your weight will change 3-5 pounds everyday, depending on how active you are and the amount of fluid you consume.(Fluid weighs more than mass.)Hope this answers your question. Have a great day.

If you dont eat breakfast, your body goes into a sort of "starvations" mode after not eating all night, and it holds onto all fat cause it thinks it not gettin food. SO when you lunch your body stores at much as possible, there for making you gain weight. Eat 5-6 small healthy meals a day and exercise and you will lose weight.
