I dunno, but for me, I am unable to digest and keep down food if I eat early in the morning. I usually have to wait until 10 AM before I can keep food down. 9:30 AM at the earliest.

The reason I say this is because there are some people, like me, that have an unsettled stomach when they wake up in the morning. At best, I can only drink water without upsetting my stomach.

With what I know about genes and the circadian clock regulation, not everyone's is the same. Generally, folks should eat breakfast to get their day going. I dunno how hearty that breakfast ought to be, but generally speaking, it is right to feed folks at least 30 minutes after they have arisen...

Whether on not one MUST eat breakfast as a health related issue, then for me, I would have to see the data on that. Because, eating breakfast may not have anything to do with one's health, predisposition to obesity or cardiovascular diseases.

Moroever, studies in aging in transgenic mice suggest the opposite, that limiting caloric intake increases longevity...

So, who knows...
