Hi! So happy to hear this ?

First, this is somewhat of an individualized question, so depending on the person what is or isn’t appropriate will be different. If you truly aren’t hungry in the AM, usually, it is okay. However, you do want to keep in mind your nutrient needs are high and we want to meet as much of this as possible through real food. If you aren’t able to fit in at least 1800 calories during the time you are eating, it’s likely you are under-eating and not meeting your needs. Again, this is not individualized guidance as I don’t know your health specifically.
