Article: The Importance Of Breakfast

I eat breakfast items at night all the time. Eggs, bacon, bread, bagels, cereal, fruit - all of these are eaten throughout the day.

If you are bulking or you have a very high metabolism and/or very active, it would be benefitial to eat breakfast within 30-60 minutes of waking every day for the sake of calorie consumption and "turning on the metabolism". For those of us that eat 3500+ calories per day, it is unwise to "skip" any meal.
 
How in the hell does skipping breakfast correlate with heart disease? Ridiculous. I've read study after study stating IF is beneficial over eating breakfast in certain health markers

Share those studies then. There are numerous possibilites as to how skipping a meal can do harm on your body...you are aware your body needs nutrients, vitamins, minerals, fats, proteins, carbs to function efficiently and effectively

This is true. However, the Lean Gains Diet (which I have done and do like but no, I am not a fanboy about it like most on this board are) is an IF diet. Yet, it doesn't mean that you don't eat enough nutrients and overall calories, it just means you do so in an 8 hour window. The benefit there is arguably for fat loss and leptin benefits but I'd be surprised if there were any medical trials recorded as far as it's overall "healthiness" is concerned.

But if breakfast is defined as "your first meal of the day", then technically so long as you eat at least once a day you aren't "skipping breakfast". Stupid semantics, I know. I think what the debate is really about is whether or not you eat upon rising out of bed in the AM or not. Clearly, this type of thing depends on a few items of interest:

1) How much you ate the day before and how much you ate at your last meal, the one closest to bed-time.
2) How fast your metabolism is
3) If you train in the AM
4) If you are trying to bulk or cut extremely quickly

etc etc

Did anyone say fasting all day? But, thanks for making me aware I need nutrients. I feel better already

1) I have no obligation to post a picture of myself for you to admire. 2) Accidentally not tapping one letter on my phone does not constitute me as a 4 year old. You are arguing like a child in a comment section. Sad. How about staying on the topic?

Wow... You told me
 
I have seen back and forth studies on breakfast consumption from how much to whether or not its actually necessary. Ive always had the best results from having a good bit in my system within 30mins of waking up. Feel it depends alot on the person.
 
After reading a article on am last yr about skipping (breakfast). I have been eating my "breakfast" about an hour or hour and half after waking. This i beleive has helped me lean out and maintain muscle mass I typically eat my last meal at 10 pm and break the fast around 10:30-11:00 am the next day.

Back when I didn't have a job (18 months ago), I would do something similar. I casually woke, piddled around in the morning, went to the gym and lifted and then broke my fast mid-late AM. It was nice. I got fairly lean and strength went up too. This was natural as well.

Too bad I didn't have a gram of test in my system when that schedule was possible...
