I already have quite a long thread in this forum already, but I wanted to ask this specific question in a separate thread.
I was having a discussion with my parents about eating and the subject got onto breakfast. I regularly would never have any breakfast, between the ages of about 12 and 18. During the school day, my lunch consisted of a few sandwiches, a bag of crisps and some biscuits/some chocolate. I'm actually amazed I could concentrate at school. Evening meals would vary but usually a decent sized portion with meat and some carbs. So I regularly went from 7pm one day, to 12pm the next day without any food. I also didn't drink milk during these years either, nor would I eat many (if any) fruit and veg, if that's any relevance.
Your body obviously gets accustomed to a pattern. At the time, I don't remember feeling that bad, but maybe I was a bit under-nourished? Maybe it affected my growth? My parents don't think it caused any loss of growth. They said they encouraged me to eat breakfast but I didn't want to, and they didn't force me. I've even asked a doctor before but they said I fall within the average range so it's no concern (also they said there's no way of knowing if I could have grown more).
Honestly how much do you think something like this affected my growth? Even if it didn't necessarily affect my height, could it have affected other areas? Any other information you need, feel free to ask.
