In this episode I answer a question from a listener who is confused regarding whether breakfast is optimal or not optimal for health. Although intermittent fasting made breakfast skipping a common practice, there is nuance to this question. We cover some of the following:
- Benefits of breakfast skipping and why it's so common
- Downsides of breakfast skipping and how it can backfire
- Why I personally have added breakfast back in on most days
- Balancing breakfast needs with physical and cognitive demands
- Optimal breakfast composition
- Approach to intermittent breakfast skipping
