It's easy to skip a meal when work is piling up or you have a hundred errands to run.However, you could be damaging your health in the long-run if you make skipping meals a habit.

Adding, "But there is no such thing as saving calories. Skipping meals, especially breakfast, destabilizes your blood sugar, and this makes you more likely to choose less healthful foods and eat more than you need to at your next meal."
