What meal are you most likely to skip?

[user1492538376]

Mine has always been lunch, where as I never miss breakfast or dinner. It’s not even a time thing - I have just never been much of a lunch person - though I do snack a lot - often on fruit or chocolate in the afternoon - or sometimes yoghurt.

Breakfast usually but if I skip Breakfast and have a big lunch at 2pm I tend to skip dinner aswell.
I drink lots of tea and coffee that keeps me full.

Same - except I evening snack

Well, try to skip breakfast and see what it changes? Everyone is so different as you can see here, personally I just can't eat in the morning. It's like my body wouldn't know how to digest until having been awake a certain amount of hours. DH always moans about this when we go on our 10 day holiday with breakfast included saying I am wasting money 😅. But him and DS make up for it with their omelettes, waffles, pancakes, fresh fruit and pastries. It is a lovely breakfast buffet and I would have loved it if they could serve it for lunch..

That's basically me🤣

I routinely skip lunch. Ether not hungry or forget or miss the time and by then it's closer to dinner anyway. I usually only have tea for breakfast too, so I not infrequently only have one meal a day.

(not a MN "half a grape fills me up for a fortnight" stealth boast either, I am a fatso so it won't do me any harm!)

Same. I wouldn't dream of skipping dinner, but I have no problem missing breakfast and/or lunch. There is no logic, I just like dinner more than the others.

Dinner. I don't eat after 6 pm so if I haven't had time before then I just wait until breakfast.

CBA with breakfast. I'd rather have an extra half hour in bed and eat an early lunch or snack later.

I would never dream of missing a meal.
I'm always thinking about the next one.
Love going to sleep at night, as it's like time machine to breakfast.
I'm a healthy weight and I eat a good diet, just love my food!

none unless ill

breakfast is the one i don’t particularly enjoy but I can’t function without having had it

Same here - I simply cannot understand how people can ‘forget’ to eat a meal. Very occasionally I might be so busy at work that lunch is delayed for a couple of hours but I would always eat something. Am starving by 9am if I haven’t eaten breakfast.

Dinner, definitely.

I'd be an active serial killier people by lunch if I didn't eat breakfast.

Breakfast owing to intermittent fasting.

Breakfast. Don’t need it or want it. I don’t think of myself as a ‘faster’ but I naturally don’t eat between about 8pm and 2pm the following day.

Maybe it's not "forget" as much as "get distracted". For example I might leave my desk around lunchtime with the aim of getting something to eat. Go downstairs and remember I need to clean the bird bath, so I faff round with that. Then put the dry dishes away from the previous night. Then notice the car tax reminder on the calendar, so pay that. Then the cats wake up and I play with them a bit. Then I'll just head back to my desk and get on with the next task on my work list.

Or sometimes I get delayed until 2 or 3pm and then I figure I may as well just wait till dinnertime anyway.

Breakfast.

Breakfast. Unless I've had a large lunch, then I won't be arsed eating properly later.

Miss a meal? I don't understand. I especially love breakfast.

I don’t remember skipping a meal ever except when I’ve been ill…don’t understand this at all!

But don’t you feel hungry? I don’t get it, I might get distracted and do other things but then would have to grab something quickly before going back to desk. It is a long time from 2 or 3pm till dinner! Unless you eat dinner at about 5pm I guess.

But skipping breakfast and never eating it are two different things, and some of us have said we never eat it.

Dinner, it's such a bore, sadly my DH and children are always starving.

Breakfast.. it just makes me eat more throughout the day.
The "breakfast is the most important meal of the day " is nonsense
Made up by kelloggs to sell ceral

No not really - I quite often go from dinner to dinner without eating b or l.
Your "don't get it" sounds the same as mine about people who say they wake up ravenous and can't function till they have eaten.

When I am in the office I do try and take a lunch break with colleagues but they mercilessly mock me for the pathetic attempt I make at food there - a couple of mini baby bels, an apple etc

I tend to eat at odd times (breakfast at 11, lunch at 3, evening meal around 7.30) and I rarely actually skip a meal, but sometimes if I go out for lunch I don’t eat until around 4 pm and it tends to be larger than the lunch I would have at home, so on those days I’ll just have a small snack later in the evening.
