Whether that amount suits you depends on your needs and other meals. There is no universal breakfast calorie limit.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul><li><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_I_lose_belly_fat_if_I_skip_breakfast\"><\/span><strong>Will I lose belly fat if I skip breakfast?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skipping breakfast doesn&#8217;t specifically target belly fat, and you can&#8217;t spot-reduce fat from one area. You lose fat overall when you maintain a calorie deficit over time (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/2072-6643\/18\/1\/12\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).
