Research often funded by the food companies. We have been inundated with marketing messages. Breakfast tied to poor health outcomes- lack of compliance. These observational studies generally took people who were already eating breakfast and then compared them with people who weren’t. They weren’t experiments that randomly assigned people to eat breakfast or not and compared the difference. Large metaanalysis in BMJ in Jan 2019 https://www.bmj.com/content/364/bmj.l42 CONCLUSION: this systematic review of randomised controlled trials examining weight change in adults consuming or skipping breakfast found no evidence to support the notion that breakfast consumption promotes weight loss or that skipping breakfast leads to weight gain. Furthermore, there was evidence to show that breakfast consumption increased total daily energy intake compared with skipping breakfast, with no evidence that skipping breakfast was associated with increased total daily caloric intake. The results were similar when we performed subgroup analyses based on country of origin and baseline body mass index. This review questions the recommendation for breakfast consumption in guidelines aimed at weight loss in adults and has identified a potential concern that the additional calorie intake might actually result in weight gain.

Better to time limit your eating window. Keeping your metabolism stoked theory. I used to think a smoothie in the morning was good because by 10 or 11 I was really hungry....sugar and flour really interfere with satiety signal. Better to eat an omelette with a little meat and cheese cooked in butter. Add in some onions and green peppers. Part of a comprehensive strategy. If you eat a lot of sugar and flour all the time and try skipping breakfast you will feel bad probably because your body is not fat adapted, used to burning fat rather than glucose.
