Breakfast actually isn't that necessary as a meal, if you're not hungry or you don't feel the urge it's okay to not eat and hold out for lunch with just water. When I eat breakfast it just makes me want to snack more throughout the day.
Breakfast is necessary for me, because I won’t be able to eat lunch if I don’t eat breakfast and then I’m not even really hungry for dinner. It’s okay this time of year, but in the summer I need to really force myself to get some food in me because the heat of the day will further reduce my appetite and I get pukey in the sun.
I do carry snacks with me, but they’re not the ideal breakfast, and it’s much nicer when I just remember.
As a note, it’s not great advice for me that I can just listen to my body’s hunger levels, I lost 14 kilos in my first summer in my new country by doing that. I’m in contact with my doctor and we’ve figured out how I can best manage the heat and keep myself at a healthy weight, so I’m not in danger of that anymore, but that advice is not one size fits all.
Fair enough, just dispelling the common notion that "breakfast is the most important meal of the day". No particular meal is more important than another, just that you're getting the nutrition you need. It sounds like this is what works for you. Carry on :)
