Could you live without having Breakfast or Dinner? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 76/100. cornyman (361)   ranked 1,047 out of 35,072 in people1 year ago

I wonder if someone could live without one of these meals for a period of three months if you have to do it.

Would you start your day without Breakfast or end your day without Dinner?


A nice set of dishes, could you give up this for 3

Sure, someone can live without having breakfast OR dinner. You wouldn't be starving because you had something to eat even though you did not eat both meals.
When I was working, I never ate breakfast, actually I did not have lunch most days either. I would eat something at night when I got home. I guess if you had a medical problem and had to eat it would create a problem, but missing a meal will not kill you.

Hi sudalunts,

a good response. The discussion is just about which you could give up "easily". Sure behind this question is more hidden. Why can you forgo breakfast easier than dinner or dinner easier than breakfast.

My question would be now did you take any drinks or sweeties during your working time, usually my stomach would begin to make loud noises after a few hours without eating (around lunch time). So i couldn't wait until night for eating only dinner.

Have good discussions, plenty of responses, much earnings and a nice day:-)

not for saying a lie,never,i cant live without a breakfast or a dinner,and i love both of those are more essential to our life...the word breakfast means break+fast that is the breaking of the fast which we have gone through in our whole night..this has become a habit that nowadays many people donot eat the breakfast and run out to office as far as i am concerned...but this is bad for our health...we must eat the breakfast regularly...no matter how the dinner is...if we did not follow the correct timings.,we may get some diseases like alsar,etc.,therefore,breakfast is
VERY VERY VERY ESSENTIAL...
was my comment useful to you??


myLot reputation of 76/100. cornyman (361)   ranked 1,047 out of 35,072 in people  1 year ago

Yeah, pavithra that's true, without breakfast my energy level would be very low and my working speed couldn't be that fast like when i eat a breakfast.
So for me would be also difficult to decide between one of them, probably i would choose to forgo dinner and eat more at the lunch time or a quick snack in the afternoon.
Listening to a stomach that is grumbling during the night is also not that nice for my wife:-)

Have a good day!

I can easily go without breakfast because I do it often. Dinner would be harder to go with out because I would be unable to sleep, but breakfast is easier.


myLot reputation of 76/100. cornyman (361)   ranked 1,047 out of 35,072 in people  1 year ago

Hello jessi,
do you have an idea what would happen if you eat your breakfast regularly?

For me it's a better start into the day. Having a break by eating some cereals or a bread with jam or honey and a cup of milk or tea on my side. That smells and tastes good. The best is my mood is better during the days then.

That's why i would skip my dinner because when i sleep my mood doesn't matter;-)

Have a nice time in myLot!

I can let go of breakfast since I usually hurry up for class. I mean, it really does not matter to me. Though a lot would claim that it is the most important meal of the day. happy


myLot reputation of 76/100. cornyman (361)   ranked 1,047 out of 35,072 in people  1 year ago

Hello karamellized,

I know there are several persons who don't eat breakfast in the morning. I think usually they eat then during the day some snacks or fruits so that the stomach doesn't grumble and makes noises;-)

For me breakfast is a necessary meal. Can't go without it.

What about you, do you eat between the meals?

Sorry friend it's impossible for me. Because without food it's really impossible for me. Even a single time i can't leave without food. If i leave then i will become a patient and i will be in the hospital.


myLot reputation of 76/100. cornyman (361)   ranked 1,047 out of 35,072 in people  1 year ago

Hello chandu245,

same with me. I need usually regularly my meals. Sometimes i can postpone lunch or dinner for some hours but then my stomach will begin to grumble.

That's the time when i know something eatable must be given to him:-)

Hope you're never that hungry that you have to go to hospital.

Have a nice weekend with us or with your family/friends!

Hi cornyman,


I have gone without breakfast for number of years and I don't have luch either, I just have my evening meals, but that is no good for you, people mucst have breafast which is the most important meal of the day so they can function till lunch and then have dinner which is good for your body.

myLot reputation of 76/100. cornyman (361)   ranked 1,047 out of 35,072 in people  1 year ago

Hello tamarafireheart,

you're right without my breakfast i wouldn't have the energy to do my jobs or doing discussions here in myLot.

The brain uses usually 20 to 25% of the body's energy, so this is essential for me. In the night i could forgo one meal if i have eaten little bit more in the afternoon;-)

Have a nice start in the coming week!

If I have to choose, I dispense with breakfast. I usually get up very early and my stomach continue sleeping for a while, hahaha.
But dinner is indispensable. I can´t fall asleep if I´m hungry. And I should say that I do no often have breakfast, but I eat different snacks during the morning. Is it cheating or something? Hahahaha!


myLot reputation of 76/100. cornyman (361)   ranked 1,047 out of 35,072 in people  1 year ago

Hello mano5chi,

let's be honest, we could say this is cheating but who knows, i would eat usually also more in the afternoon if i have to give up dinner.

I think if this would be no rule of the "game" everybody would try to eat more before sleeping so that he is not hungry in the morning, or eat more for lunch/in the afternoon for not being hungry at night:-)

Otherwise i would say it's cheating;-) for luck this is only theoretical question

Have a nice time in myLot and keep on posting!

Hello my friend cornyman Ji,
First of all, let me be frank that I can not live without my Break-fast, it is like carrying essentials with me before stepping out-side house for any job. Next thing, on eshould never go without fast any day, this has got dirct attribution to poor health at later stage. have a great time.


myLot reputation of 76/100. cornyman (361)   ranked 1,047 out of 35,072 in people  1 year ago

Hello maygodblessu44,

i strongly agree with your comment.

It is absolutely necessary to eat and drink in the morning something, so that the body has enough energy and power for a good start in the day.

In this hectic times it's only sometimes difficult to take the meals like you could see from the other responses.

I wouldn't give up breakfast, only dinner would be possible to give up for some weeks.

Have a good time, may god bless you!

Hi cornyman~I read your response to the first responder. Is
that all you have to say? You obviously know that it is
possible to forgo breakfast. Many of us do. I don't eat
breakfast or lunch and don't eat until sometimes 10:00 at
night. And I don't starve. I'm just not always hungry until
then. You'd be surprised what your body can do. You wouldn't
die if you didn't eat for a day or more. So what is your
real point?


myLot reputation of 76/100. cornyman (361)   ranked 1,047 out of 35,072 in people  1 year ago

Hello Opal26,

seems something is not clear at the moment.

Ok, everyone is different and like i wrote to the 1.responder, i would be definitely hungry if i don't take breakfast in the morning.

I had to skip probably dinner and make a bigger lunch or postpone the lunch for being not that hungry during the night.

This is all about habits and the definition of breakfast, lunch and dinners and if you take snacks during the day it should be also called like one of the three meals depending on the time you eat a sandwich, chocolate, coffee and so on.

For further explanations just respond to me and we will have a good discussion with the other fellow mylotter!

I could take no breakfast or dinner but I usually skip lunch. No matter what meal it was as if I feel I don't like to eat. But my usual activity is I always eat breakfast with heavy foods like rice and others and if lunch came I do not eat. Upon dinner I eat of course. I hate to sleep hungry I could not sleep well for my stomach asking for foods.


myLot reputation of 76/100. cornyman (361)   ranked 1,047 out of 35,072 in people  1 year ago

Hello mods,

my breakfast is usually cornflakes and yogurt with some fruit of the season or just some bread slices with jam or cheese and tea.

I have to eat lunch otherwise i'm only a half person, my brain would get in trouble and my stomach would make loud noise during lunchtime.

That's why i could skip dinner when i eat little bit more for lunch;-)

Have a nice day and keep on posting!
