According to Dr. John Berardi, eating breakfast is a matter of personal choice.
If you have a clean diet and follow nutritional guidelines, then you can skip this meal.
Intermittent fasting is a much better choice since it increases growth hormone levels, promotes fat loss, and delays aging.
Dr. Berardi is the co-founder of Precision Nutrition.
He claims that eating small, frequent meals isnât necessary to boost metabolism.
Breakfast can be beneficial for some people, but not for everyone.

I think this is an individual thing and even if there are people who dont eat in the morning I dont think it is good for their stomach. After 8 hours of not eating to keep 5-6 more stomach with no food may cause problems.

I usually have a protein shake first thing but if I'm trying to cut or trying to give my digestion a rest I have no problem doing intermittent fasting. I swear by it and recommend it.

Maybe if you are on your way to winning Mr Olympia IF might slow you down, though I doubt you'd notice.
However, IF has proven health benefits, one being to give your body the chance to cleanse itself. If you are on your way to winning Mr Olympia my guess is that you are ingesting products that aren't necessarily fantastic for your health.
By practicing IF occasionally you will benefit from improved blood markers, for a start. You might lose a gram or two of muscle along the way but at least you will around a bit longer to enjoy what you've got.
I'm oversimplifying it slightly but in my opinion your health should come fairly high up the list.
Just my opinion and, incidentally, that of plenty of others . . .
