Episode Overview

Is skipping breakfast always a red flag? Not necessarily. In this Q+A episode, Jen and Annie dive deep into a listener's question: "Is it bad to skip a meal if I'm truly not hungry?"

They unpack what it really means to listen to your internal cues, how your nighttime habits might be affecting your morning hunger, and why the answer to this question isn't as simple as "just eat" or "just skip."

You'll hear why blindly following rules (even ones that seem healthy) can backfire, how coffee might be tricking your hunger signals, and what skipping meals could mean for your energy, cravings, and nutrition goals throughout the day.

This episode is full of practical insights and honest reflection to help you make informed decisions for yourself.
