It's certainly what the media, govt, agencies, organizations, etc. tend to say about breakfast. Regular meals, not skipping meals, breaking the fast quickly, etc has been the popular stance for a while. Doesn't mean it's true.
There are studies that show that brief periods of fasting (or longer) doesn't slow your metabolism, and also positively effects insulin sensitivity, etc.
Eat, Stop, Eat, The Primal Blueprint, etc are all books that talk about "intermittent fasting" and it's benefits. Or, at the very least, the lack of negatives about IF. You shouldn't be afraid to skip a meal. You might not want to, but it's not doing any harm other than making your stomach growl.

I'm not going to run if I know it's going to hurt, which is why I was looking for something else to do. I disagree with walking being "great" simply because of the fact that it takes so long to burn the same calories you can burn in a shorter amount of time. There's nothing wrong with walking, it just shouldn't be classified as "great" cardio, that's all.

I agree that walking isn't "great cardio." Mostly, cardio is overrated. It's easier to eat 400 calories too much than it is to burn off 400 calories via exercise. I suggest a happy medium, of which walking can be a part. Eat less and walk more. 200 and 200, maybe.
