Skipping breakfast


Question
Hi, I am 21 years old. I currently weigh 85 kg and i used to weight train extensively. Currently i suffer from nagging injuries and have decided to take a long break( around 1 year). Recently i came across a book which stated that morning meal is supposed to be skipped and that a man must consume only one meal per day in the evening after which the body rests and reparation occurs. It says that 3 meals a day or rather, 5-6 smaller meals a day(as propagated by many nutritionists) only loads the stomach and pancreas more. It also says that the morning meal will trigger parasympathetic nervous system making us lethargic; whereas we need to be alert and brisk in the morning and afternoon for working properly. Now....the thing is that i gave it a try for a week and i felt really good. I had only lunch and dinner and completely skipped breakfast. I never felt hungry and never felt tired. All these years, i have never felt hunger in the mornings and always felt sleepy after a heavy breakfast. But i was surprised to see how skipping breakfast made me feel better and lighter. Please give me your views on this.
Thanks a lot

Answer
5-6 smaller meals is what I recommend. Eating one meal causes the body to go into survival mode. This means the body slows its metabolic rate in order to burn less calories that are needed to support your vital organs, lungs, heart, kidneys, liver and so on. Eating one large meal causes your body to work harder to process the food you are eating.You may have felt good, but without feeding your body correctly eventually your body will start to function poorly. Proper diet and eating on time and multiple times a day control your insulin levels, brain function, digestion, and many other functions of your body.
