original_murphy on Snapchat asks: Hey Brad, quick question. I’m not to big of a breakfast person. Is there any type of protein, meal replacement shake, or bar that can replace breakfast? If so, what do you recommend?
If you’re not a big breakfast person, you don’t have to eat breakfast.
In other words, breakfast is not mandatory.
Although 99% of the popular refers to breakfast as the meal you eat within the first hour of when you wake up, technically the term “breakfast” just means breaking your fast.
Basically it just means your first meal of the day, so it doesn’t have to be in the morning.
I’m currently in a stage where I don’t eat breakfast.
Your Breakfast Does Not Have To Be First Thing in The Morning
For example, I’ve been doing intermittent fasting for a while now, so my first meal of the day is noon.
Personally, I like it.
I skip the morning meal, often referred to as “breakfast”, then I train in a fasted state.

Breakfast Propaganda Was Created By Food Marketers And Lobbyists
If you’re not hungry in the morning, you don’t need to eat breakfast.
This is just another instance where food industry lobbyists has brainwashed people into a certain belief around eating.
Another example of this is drinking dairy milk for strong bones.
The dairy industry has been heavily marketing that the only way to get enough calcium for strong bones is by drinking milk.
Breakfast propaganda is a real thing.
If You Are Hungry, Eat Breakfast
However, to be clear, I’m not saying you shouldn’t eat breakfast.
I’m simply stating that eating breakfast is not mandatory to be healthy.
If you wake up and feel hungry, eat a high protein breakfast like this meat and nuts breakfast recipe.
Or if you are short on time, your best option is to make this meal replacement protein superfood shake, which includes protein powder, frozen blueberries, spinach, and more.

Bottom Line On Eating Breakfast
If you do not feel hungry first thing in the morning, you do not need to eat breakfast.
“Breakfast” is just breaking the fast, meaning it’s the first meal of the day, regardless of what time of the day you eat it.
“Oh my god, you don’t eat breakfast?”.
Since this is counterintuitive to what you’ve always been told, I can see this opening up a whole bunch of other questions.
The question of skipping your morning meal should also depend on your goals.
If you do your macro calculations, and find out for you to meet your daily calorie goals, you need to have 800 calories at each meal, that might be too hard for you to have in each sitting.
Therefore, if you have a hard time getting all your calories into fewer meals, it may make more sense to have more meals
