Which meal is the safest to cut out to lose weight, while training?

Breakfast beers is a good meal to quit to lose weight.

That's a meal, right?

Skip breakfast, eat a healthy lunch, run in afternoon/evening, then eat a healthy dinner directly after your run.

Your runs might feel like shit at first but you will adjust. If im trying to lose weight and have a workout ill just make the lunch a little bigger or have a snack in the afternoon and grab a coffee right before my workout.

If you don't have to work:

Sleep very late and stay in bed after waking up. You can easily spend 12 hours in bed eating nothing.

Run late at night. Sometimes after the run you'll just fall asleep before you have even time to eat anything.

Eat light and drink a lot of water before running.

Eat the most right after running.

Stay hydrated through the day, and maintain in the evenings.

Eat light in the evenings, no food after 6pm (or whatever time you decide).

Stop eating when you still feel hungry. Eat half of what you usually eat.

Keep eating approximately the same and up your mileage, anything above 70/wk will do the job. Sleep right and boom.

Yes, this. If you want a shortcut to unhealthy weight loss that will jack up your metabolism and make you fatter in the long run, then by all means skip meals.

+1 just make each meal smaller versus going for long periods of time without eating anything.

Skipping meals makes you thinner not fatter. Jack up metabolism? LOL

Fasting is healthy and a good habit.

People are not designed to require steady uptake of food all the time.

The effect of caloric restriction on metabolism is often misunderstood.The majority of slow down in metabolic rate from dieting occurs for 2 reasons:1) You weigh less so you burn less calories. Less lean mass means your bmr drops, less weight in general means you burn more doing daily activities.2) You may unintentionally move less so you burn less calories. You may not even realize it but if you're really depleted you may subconsciously choose to move less.There is a very small amount of metabolic slowdown that isn't accounted for by those 2 things. However it is very small (think maybe 50 calories a day), and it shows no signs of permanence (should readjust when you start eating more again).People don't put the weight back on because they fasted to take it off. They put the weight back on because they feel like they 'made it' and go back to eating a lot right after. Its a psychological thing not a physical.

If that were true, bulky bodybuilders and fat football players would be thinner than marathon runners, but that's not the case.

They eat a lot.

They also burn less calories in exercises.

You're over thinking things. Skip meals and when you do eat just have something small, like a piece of bread and butter.

Can you explain what you mean?

This is a good statement.

If you want to lose weight, don't try to fast. East low-calorie foods throughout the day, and fill up on veggies and fruits and water. This will still fill you up without stressing you out. Avoid a diet that is hard to continue, because a stressful diet will release hormones that make it much harder to lose fat.

And you would be more likely to keep the weight off once you lost weight.

Fasting can also be done with veggies, fruit and water. I wouldn't say it's that much easier to do than just skipping meals. Only if you a eat considerable amount of calories from fruit is it clearly easier to do.. Point of skipping meals is that you try to not even think about eating. :)
