FACT. Without a doubt, bypassing breakfast is violating one of bodybuilding’s golden rules. When you wake up hungry and skip breakfast, levels of the protein hormone leptin, which regulates appetite and metabolism, can change, thus encouraging the body to hold onto body fat. In addition, skipping breakfast facilitates a catabolic (muscle wasting) state, which also causes the metabolism to slow. Think about it: You’ve been sleeping for 7-8 hours (maybe more), which basically means you’ve been fasting. Outside of maybe brushing your teeth, the first you should be thinking of upon waking is getting adequate protein, complex carbs and even some dietary fat. This muscle wasting state is such a concern for bodybuilders that guys like Jay Cutler have been known to wake up in the middle of the night and down a protein shake just to stay anabolic
