    Worse yet, there are people who don’t eat breakfast. Do they photosynthesize their food instead?

      I don’t. I feel it takes a few hours (4-5) for my body to wake up enough to feel hunger, and if I force myself to eat breakfast I feel queasy. So I just eat black coffee and move on.

        Great, now I have this mental image of you waking up late, going “NO TIME TO WAIT FOR THE KETTLE!” and just eating spoonfuls of instant coffee straight from the jar before running out of the house.

        This. I really only eat a small breakfast because I have to for meds, but if it weren’t for that I’d totally be fine with one big meal a day (turns out to be dinner most of the time) and perhaps one apple or sth. late at night.

        This forced 3-meal system is so weird and inconvenient.

    The trick is to have an undiagnosed illness that constantly upsets your stomach and threatens to regurgitate any food you eat. Once I realized it hurts less to not eat at all, I started regularly skipping on meals. What’s really annoying is that I still have a pudgy tummy, even though I’m stuck on a diet some people would dream of being able to commit to.

    If this resonates with you, please check for sugar related health issues. (I am not saying you have them, but it is time to check.)

    I work from home, IT, 8-10 hours sitting, programming. If I ate five meals a day I’d weight a ton in few months.

    Fasting helps me keeping the callory intake down. First meal at 3-6pm then some snack in the evening, keeping sugar intake low. If I eat in the morning I feel bloated and sluggish + at around 2pm I feel tired.

    Not eating keeps me fresh.

      5 meals is also excessive. I have the same schedule and I eat the normal 3 meals a day: breakfast, lunch, dinner. I can’t really miss any because then my tummy becomes very distracting. I really don’t understand how you can go till 3pm without feeling any adverse effects. If I skip breakfast I’ll be useless and dizzy till lunch.

      I just don’t eat more than I need each meal.

        It’s because they keep their sugar intake low. Most of the hunger urges are carbohydrate addiction manifesting
