to disagree somewhat with the others, I think meal-skipping can be done intelligently. I figured out years ago, when somewhat overweight, that I was sometimes eating when I wasn't really hungry, but when others expected me to.
so, sometimes I skip breakfast and/or lunch when they don't appeal. or, sometimes I don't feel like eating much at traditional mealtimes but would like snacks in between. that's OK, I just kept healthy food around to snack on.
the questions to answer (for me) were, why are you eating? from boredom? stress? because you think you ought to eat now?
learning to recognize actual hunger took me a while. you may already do so, of course.
