People looking to lose weight are often advised not to skip breakfast. The problem with studies on eating habits is that they ask people about their eating patterns and then base their results on that. For example, the talk to people who don't eat breakfast then make them eat breakfast, and get those who do eat breakfast to stop, and then take their evidence from these studies.
However, the problem with making non-breakfast eaters eat breakfast is that it makees them want to eat more during the day, and so they actually put on weight. So if you don't like eating breakfast, just don't eat it.
