You can make some good protein shakes in the morning, add things like fruit and nuts

Yes you need to at least get some protein shakes work, breakfast is a must even if it is only a shake. if you do not eat when you get up you may not feel like eating because your body will go into self preservation mode

Is it necessary to eat something if you truly aren't hungry? I have spells of just flat out not wanting to eat but force myself to eat something anyway. Would it really hurt me if I skipped a day here and there?
Pros and cons??
Your body's metabolism generally goes into "starvation" mode if you haven't eaten in a while. Small, more frequent meals is more appropriate than sporadic large meals.

Tafkap is right about the starvation mode. Restricting your diet will jolt your body into starvation mode. This causes your body to burn lean muscle. Less muscle mass will cause a lower metabolic rate which will slow down any weight loss.

Thanks Coach. I do take calcium and d3 and another supplement. I will go see what GNC has. Maybe a protein shake will be tolerable on the days I don't want food. Too bad it's not every day. Lol Some days I feel like I'm gonna starve. Chocolate cures that.  RutMan- I take an xmam each day around 9 or so.
I'd try Super Mix, you'll get all the real nutrients and vitamins needed daily that your body can/will absorb.

I think the supermix would be great but unless i read it wrong it would not meet your needs as a protein replacement. Supermix has 1 gram of protein - we are suppose to get between 10 and 35% of our daily calories from protein so going without eating and only adding supermix would not solve the issue at hand.
Read up on you protein intake Bow'd... Getting too little protein can be dangerous and can happen before you know it when your appetite is not present. Protein is really easy to get, whether from food or from shakes and its critical to your well being.

taking the zija smartpacks causes me to not be hungry some days, but i usually try to eat some peanut butter. i also know i am getting the most nutrient rich plant man can find so i dont worry so much about it. your body will usually let you know what you need, or atleast mine does.

Yes, fuel your body about every 3 hours. It helps keep your metabolism up and going. It could be anything from a protein drink to a piece of fruit.

I was eating 6 times a day.. Several of those times would be almonds or unsalted peanuts and I was keeping up with calorie intake through a free calorie calculator on livestrong's website..
