Is lunch an important meal?

[Sly]

Lately I've been eating quite alot less than usual and it's got to a point where I never feel hungry anymore so the only times I eat is breakfast and dinner without any snacks or meals inbetween.
People say skipping breakfast is not good so I was just wondering weather skipping lunch was the same or is it fine?

I wouldn't skip any if I were you, just eat smaller portions throughout the day.

Its not as important as breakfast but never the less, its still important

i do this sometimes. depends how regular it is. the other day i went over a day without eating, i just was constantly full. i don't think it's normal but i don't think there is anything majorly wrong. obviously you should try and eat breakfast lunch and dinner but if you're not hungry then you're not going to.

I never eat lunch and I'm usually bouncing off the walls. I guess it's the least important meal.

At night you sleep for hours, hours without eating. Breakfast wakes your body up. If you skip lunch, supper also wakes your body up again and prepares it for the night.
Lunch just uhh.. keeps you going.. But I don't think it's important.

I never miss a lunch but us Portuguese (and I believe other mediterranean people ) make sure we get our lunch on-time everytime. Shops close in Portugal at midday (People say it's cause its the hottest part which it is but we all go for lunch then) and we don't like to have our lunch disturbed.

So it's a automatic thing for me to go out for lunch everyday or just sit down and eat a meal.

Yes, I love Lunch! Best snack of the day

A lot of European nations close for ages for lunch, would never happen in England, lol. Apart from very small village shops and stuff (i.e. the post office in my village)

I don't eat lunch on school days i have a snack at 11 and a snack at 1.15. That's all i have time for in my day really. To me it's unimportant and i don't see any harm in missing it if you have a good breakfast and tea

I see lunch as a time to eat if you're hungry between breakfast and dinner. If you miss lunch, I'd probably eat more for dinner.
