Hi Doctor,
I want to know it is ok not to eat lunch in afternoon because I don't feel hungry. I take heavy breakfast and dont feel hungry for lunch so I don't eat nothing. I take coffee in evening and take dinner. Please advice is skipping lunch good or bad for health?
Thanks

Hello,
Skipping any meal is not good for health. I would advise you to take light breakfast instead of a heavy one. Having coffee directly in evening is not advised as you are not having anything for so many hours and it also contains caffeine which inhibits digestion.

Hello,
If your two meals are completely balance than it is ok.There should be a good combination of complex carbohydrates, protein, fibre and healthy fats.So that you will not get deficiency of any nutrients.
