First of all, your body doesn't care whether you eat one meal a day or 6. Metabolism-wise, it's the same.

As for needing breakfast in order for you to remain alert and awake, I refer you to this:

Translate that into, if you think skipping a meal is making you slow, then you're likely being a bitch, so harden the fuck up.

The hunger pangs you feel are a combination of:

- Your body being conditioned to release ghrelin at a certain time (i.e. you're conditioned to eat at a certain time. If you don't, then your body will adapt)
- You mistaking thirst for hunger.
