Is it ok to skip lunch?

I eat a big dinner, its not like im anarexic (sp?), but I don't like eating at school. Is this bad for me? I think I am eating enough calories, but its not evened out throughout the day. I'm 14 btw

Answers:
It's messing up your metabolism. Your body needs its nutrients at specific times because it's still growing. If you eat at odd times that are spaced out your body won't know how to adjust its metabolism to what's appropriate for you.

Healthwise you are better off eating lunch and skipping dinner.

its not good are u tryin to get skinny aka anroexic.

Lunch is so important! You would have so much more energy if you at least had a granola bar or some fruit, something!

it seems like everything's ok, but skipping lunch, then running a lot could cause you to pass out. maybe you should eat a snack. at least you eat breakfast. thats the most important meal of the day!

if u eat a big breakfast it is okay but if u feel hungry then u should eat lunch

If you skip lunch it is fine. I've read the best eating habit is to eat 4 -6 smaller meals a day, breakfast being the most important one within two hours of waking up because it gets your metabolism going for the day.
