Why do people more commonly skip breakfast than any other meal, considering that this is the time when the stomach is emptiest?

It's a combination of things, either they are too busy, or don't have enough time. Which is normally the worse.
I have a few friends that feel sick in a mornign and so therefore can't eat anything (no they are not pregnant some are male).
Others just don't eat when they are not hungry and some people espically if they have eaten a big dinner are not hungry in a morning (because the body doesn't digest food properly during the night).
Hope that helps.

Most people are so rushed in the morning that they don't have time to prepare breakfast before leaving their homes, they are already running late so stopping to get something is out of the question, and once they reach their destination, they have to start working or are too distracted to try to eat then. The people that eat breakfast regularly make time to do so.

I believe most people are definitely pressed for time, and others dont realize that it's the most important meal of the day. You have alot of people that think they'll save calories by doing so.

It'll differ from person to person. My reasoning is, I would rather sleep as long as possible than get up early to fix breakfast before work. I stay up all hours of the night (it's hard to convince myself that it's okay to go to bed before ten) and I refuse to get up before six thirty in the morning. It just isn't natural! *l*

Because most people are rushed in the mornings so it just seems easy to skip it

I used to skip breakfast a lot...I usually didn't get enough sleep, so I'd feel like crap every morning and be not at all hungry...and I'd be running late, and not have enough time...so, I'd be starving by 11am...this habit has thankfully be broken! : )

For me personally, I get sick if I eat too early. If I am up for a couple of hours (which - lets face it - is NOT logical) then I am ok. I usually snack on something when I get to work.

Most people feel to "rushed" in the mornings to eat.

its not healthy to skip meals, you may end up eating more at the next one then you should.
