2. A retrospective large cohort study revealed that skipping dinner was significantly associated with ≥10% weight gain and overweight/obesity (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2) in both male and female students. Skipping breakfast or lunch did not result in weight gain. (Ref: Nutrients, Jan 2021)
3a. A recent meta-analyses indicated an 11% increased RR for overweight/obesity when breakfast was skipped on ≥3 days per week compared to ≤2 days per week. The meta-analysis on body mass index (BMI) change displayed no difference between breakfast skipping and eating.
3b. This study provides minimal evidence that breakfast skipping might lead to weight gain and the onset of overweight and obesity. (Ref: Nutrients, 2021 Jan)
Conclusion: Skipping breakfast or lunch may not cause weight gain; skipping dinner may lead to weight gain.
