is it normal for me not to eat lunch?

does anyone else not eat lunch??? or should i, even though im not hungry during that point of the day.

i dont eat lunch either<3

just dinner & breakfast

i say its normal=p

ME EITHER! oh dear, i thought i was the only crazy one out there...hah lunch is not my thing at all

I'd say it's fine if you make sure you get enough calories at other times.  I can't tell you how crazy it makes me to read posts where people say "I slept through breakfast" or "didn't have time for lunch" as a way of justifying eating, like 600 calories all day.  If you have a bigger breakfast and/or dinner, or snack at other times, it's fine.

My dad never eats lunch (unless you count an apple and a couple of carrots as lunch) and he definitely does not have an ED, I guarantee it! He does have a big breakfast and cleans up at dinner usually!

(Although I wouldn't recommend it, especially when you're still growing!)



But I guess, whatever works for you :)

Back when I went to school, I never ever ate lunch. Now that I'm at home and can make a nice healthy snack around noon, I might eat then.

i just eat an apple or a fruit cup or something.. i'd eat more if i weren't at school. i can't enjoy food at school somehow.

 

i guess i'd consider my "real" lunch is when i get home. 11:30 is way too early for lunch for me anyway; on weekends/breaks i eat breakfast at like 12:30 and i'm used to that.

Oh Em Gee! thats exactly how i am but when people dont see me eat at school they started rumors in anorexic (im farrr from it) but when i get home i eat lunch. Even though i have the latest lunch at my school (1:55)it sucks

what I dont get is how you arent hungry at lunch...do you just snack a lot?

 

I eat breakfast at 630 or so and lunch at 1130 cannot come soon enough, even with a midmorning snack...

I eat a small breakfast at 6 then i eat a small lunch at 3 and i eat dinner at 7. I'm used to not snacking because I'm normally working my butt of in school, or at work, or at practice.

The big question is do you eat a large dinner? If you're consuming more than 1/2 your days calories at dinner, you would benefit by spreading them out more during the day. If not, then don't worry about it.

unless you're eating a HUGE dinner i don't see how you're getting enough calories. besides that, i don't see the appeal of barely eating all day then stuffing yourself at night..

when i go to school I dont eat breakfast or lunch. I just snack and eat dinner. so dont worry it is kinda normal if u go to school but otherwise u should eat lunch

if your not hungry, then there's no point. At least drink some water..

I have to eat cuz if i dont my stomache growls really loud.. and then its embarassing in class hahah

When I was in school I usually didn't eat breakfast or lunch... and if I did it was like a Luna bar or someones leftovers...
But then again I had an ed... so I would say that you should probably eat SOMETHING

I mean, it's okay to not eat lunch, but if you at least have a small snack or something that would be good. You need to keep your metabolism going through out the day :]
