@heavyphil As I understand it, the glycogen won't get converted to fat until you have too much if it stored, regardless of what time of day you eat. But yes, it's fine to skip breakfast if that works for you.
Regardless, I think exercising *before* breakfast will burn down your existing glycogen stores because there's not much glucose available when you haven't eaten all night. Exercising *after* breakfast will burn off the glucose from breakfast before it gets converted to more glycogen. So it's sort-of a wash. 🤷

@northoftheborder Exactly, it’s a wash IF you are eating breakfast…If not, that glycogen stored the night before will be depleted if you exercise - or even if you don’t. So at least you are doing something to put a dent in the storage mechanism before you eat lunch and then dinner.
I have friends who absolutely HAVE to eat breakfast, so you do what works best for you, right?
Don’t get me wrong, I can eat at any hour of the day - and happily!😋 - whether I’m hungry or not. So this is a discipline I’ve forced on myself to keep trim and like any habit, it just becomes part of your routine. Best,
Phil
