Off topic but I don't think breakfast is any more or less important than a meal any other time of the day. Most days I only eat one big meal around dinnertime and maybe have a few bites of some snack throughout the day. I've been like that for years now it started from doing 12 hour construction shifts where I'd just work all day with a coffee and maybe an apple or something then eat a big meal once I was home. I don't do construction anymore but the way I eat stuck with me. It's probably worth pointing out that I'm very fit and a healthy bodyweight (5'10 152lbs) and I don't suffer any negative effects from living like this. I'd say I'm healthier than 90% of the people I know.
Science says nothing of the sort, but marketing certainly does.
Actually, science says he's right. You should fast at least 16 hour per day.
I've never seen this were have you read that ?
For exemple

16/8 is the most common intermittent fasting protocol for begginers. 20/4 is recommended in case of autoimmune disease, to reverse leaky gut and insulin resistance.
Advertising says he's wrong. Science actually backs him. Look up autophagy and see all the health benefits that you get from a fasted state.
