I agree with you. Timewise walking is probably the largest component of my fitness program but it never gets included in the cardio ledger. Benefits for me are mainly postural, better than driving, keep the leg joints supplied with synovial fluid, burn time which would be used for other things, enjoy the city, etc.

But breakfast still remains the most important meal and you're still keeping your metabolism at a very slow rate if you wait until later on in the day to eat. You wouldn't go 12+ hours during the day without eating, so why go that long at any other time?

Yes...I was surprised by this as well. Breakfast and lunch are the most important for me because they will supply the energy for the evening workout where I will get so tired that I'm not hungry (may not happen for everyone). Dinner/after workout meals are the ones I skip (even though I surprisingly heard on this board that it will turn my muscles to mush.....haven't heard that before but I suppose a study exists).
