Is it bad to skip breakfast?

On this episode of The WERD, registered dietitian nutritionist Whitney English answers the common nutrition question: is it bad to skip breakfast?

But is this in line with current scientific research? We're exploring this question and how individual factors affect whether or not eating breakfast is important. We'll also cover how intermittent fasting relates to eating breakfast or skipping breakfast and health outcomes.

I can't eat breakfast, I get sick when I do. I've been that way since I was a kid, and tried to force myself to eat breakfast for years. Now that I don't worry about eating until afternoon or evening (whenever I feel hunger) I feel less stress from the reduced obligation.

If what u eat bloats u with severe IBD then defo for me the odd day years ago I used2not eat til lunch and I'd have so much energy and I'd go out and get loads done! But I'm a specific case of severe food intolerances! I have since found some foods that suit me in morning- oats, eggs, bacon(yes!!) and avocado and rye sourdough bread! By the way I always drank water and coffee on those days I did not eat in morn !!
