Is it really true that having something for breakfast helps weight loss? Is having a glass of orange juice with a cup of coffee considered having something for breakfast to get your metabolism going? I would like some opinions please. I am trying to lose weight and have been on a regular exercise program so I do not eat breakfast Monday thru Friday, but I have something for lunch and dinner. Once a week on Sat. I have a muffin and Sunday I have breakfast (which is breakfast and lunch)
