What meal are you most likely to skip?

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.

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!)

The word 'fatso' made me smile. Not heard it for ages.
I regularly only have 1 meal a day, but not always.

I have brunch at about 11 and dinner about 6.30. I don't snack.

Tbh 90% of the time it’s lunch. I only work 3 days a week, 2 of them days I have a kinder bueno for breakfast and then lunch and dinner. Days off I just have breakfast and dinner. No lunch
