> breakfast skipping has been proven to be associated with obesity
Since there’s definitely a cohort that skips breakfast for health reasons, and has a healthy weight as a result, I’d wonder if the data is multimodal and there’s some other group that skips breakfast and is unhealthy that’s overshadowing the heathy modal.
- tired_and_awake 3y agoI know someone that never eats breakfast. He does however eat a very big dinner and continue to eat late into the night. Skipping breakfast is not necessarily a fasting technique, but a consequence of over eating.

- balfirevic 3y agoThat's what I do, but I'm not over eating (just eating late) and I'm at healthy weight. I also don't intentionally fast, I just eat when I feel like it.
- loeg 3y agoFor example smoking, which is known to be unhealthy, has a relatively high correlation with skipping breakfast. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19638728/#:~:text=Skipping%20breakfast%20was%20more%20prevalent,%25CI%201.50%2D6.39 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19638728/#:~:text=Skipping%2...).
