Can you skip any meal of the day?

I am a small eater and normally I will skip my lunch..I will never skip breakfast because I am always hungry during breakfast. Lunch is a meal I can go without. I will try to eat a little over tea if I become hungry in the day. As for dinner, I tend to eat a little as well. A small bowl of rice, soup and some veggies and meat! My 5 yr old son actually eats more than I do!!

Hello there!(",) Yes, I can skip a meal just like what happened to me today. I was not able to take my lunch because I don't like to eat alone. I know its not a good practice to skip a meal that is why its important to eat on time but if there are events in which you can't eat on time, just eat small frequent meals or grab a snack while working. Great day!(",)

I tend to eat a good breakfast, but mostly cereal and toast. I will have just a sandwich for lunch and a cooked dinner in the evening. Although from what I understand, it is better to eat earlier in the day than later in the day. :-)

We could skip any meal of the day but its very important not to skip breakfast because it is the most important meal of the day.

I skip breakfasts and sometimes if I had breakfast I skip lunch. But when it comes to dinner, I eat a lot :-)

I generally miss breakfast, not sure why, usually when i wake up i want to shower, have a coffee and head out the door to work.. i may eat brunch, something small, like a museli bar or some health food bar, other then that, i realyl have to force that down my throat. I guess afternoon snacks and Dinner are my major foods. I love to eat a lot of savory foods, not really one for sweet foods.

Yes, I can skip breakfast or lunch or dinner occasionally. But not frequently. Though I am not a voracious eater, but I can not skip my meal as and when thought. Eating less is a good habit, but that must be in priority with health and availability of time for rest. Thanks.

sometimes i get very lazy and skip some of my meals. i think it's not good to your health, just make it a routine to have three meals a day is a good habit to keep. isn't it?

The rule is there are no rules.You should eat when you are hungary, not because it is a practicular time of day.I usually have one big meal a day and a snack during the evening.On work days, I tend to eat after work. On non work days I may have one big meal or two small ones.

Nope...definitely can't skip meals at anytime since I have a blood sugar problem and eating helps keep my sugar levels allright---some days though I will eat less, that is not so large a portion

I am a voracious eater, and i hardly skip any meal of my day. Unless i am really busy and cant find time to eat, i would diligently take all my meals, and i enjoy them as well. Guess i just like foods. :)

When I was free in a day, I will skip my breakfast. For I am not willing to prepar it. But when I have classes or I should go work, I will have all meals in a day, except that I have no time to have it. Compare to lunch and supper, I skip my breakfast more. I know many people like me. But in fact, breakfast is the most important of the three meals. I am too slim. So I decide to not skip any meals from now. Health comes first. So you should do it, too.

Well for me it depends. Like if i have to wake up early and go to skool I can go without breakfast, I dont feel hungry that early in the morning. But if i wake up late im always very hungry and need to eat. If i have nothing to do I need to eat but if I am keeping myself busy then I wont have to.

I try not to skip any lunch in any day which i know is bad for health,But sometimes you just can't help when you are busy .I can eat more at lunch but less at dinner because i don't want gain weight for eating too much at night.

I surely can skip any of the meals I want. Of course, I'll stay hungry, but I still can skip it. Somedays, I am late to school and just skip my breakfast. Somedays, I skip my Lunch, and at other days, my dinner. I feel hungry, and I know I shouldn't be skipping any of these meals, but I still can.

To be honest, I really don't keep track of meals; mostly I just eat multiple small meals or snacks throughout the day. But when I have no food in the house, I'm not hungry, or I'm just too lazy to make something, I go on one meal per day.

Most of the days, I skip my Breakfast. I know that one should not skip his breakfast. But still I cant follow that for me. Because, most of the days I go to bed only in the early morning and will sleep till the midday. With that, its not possible for me to wake up in the morning to have my breakfast. But I do struggle hard for changing my this habit and hope I will do that soon.

Hello 1qazxsw2, I can skip my meals but not a day without rice *smile* I feel so hungry if I can't have my rice for a day. I always take my breakfast to jump start my day and always try to skip my dinner. For lunch, I always on the go so whatever I can grab, I just grab without thinking twice of the calories or fat or whatsoever *laugh*

hey there. . i normally have a big breakfast.. skip lunch.. have some tea.. and skip dinner as well.. Well, depending on what i have for tea. If our tea time snacks are pretty heavy, then no dinner for me. If it was just light snacks then most probably i'll have a normal portioned dinner. :)
