I call it that, too, in the very comment you've replied to: "Skipping breakfast was easiest for me". The faddish name makes it easy to google for research on the topic. You can, of course, call it whatever you like. I'm not advocating anything, I'm just sharing what I'm doing. That said, the name does have useful meaning and context. "Fasting" hints at the metabolic response you're trying to achieve with the practice, in a way that maybe saying "skip breakfast" doesn't. And, the word "fasting" has thousands of years of history, which can also be mined for information; it's even part of the word, "breakfast". "Skip breakfast" leaves room for "but, I had a donut at the 10AM meeting".
