Breakfast? or not?

[randomness]

From an article in the LA Times about whether skipping breakfast might cause weight loss after all:

“I’m very concerned about that. We in nutrition seem to put out contradictory diet messages,” said David Levitsky, a Cornell professor of nutritional sciences and psychology and the senior author of the breakfast and calories study.

I'm glad those in the field are aware of that.

My impression is that the contradiction is worse than that. Heretofore the recieved wisdom in nutrition was that you should never skip breakfast because doing so increased calorie intake. Now they're saying "Whoops, no, that's not true."

I really have no position on whether either theory is correct, because it doesn't seem like the nutrition researchers know enough to have a consistent position. But the quote is evidence that the nutrition researchers realize they have a problem.
