How does a big or small breakfast effect your appetite around lunch time?

How does your breakfast size affect your appetite?

I've heard that if you don't eat a small breakfast you won't expand your stomach, and won't want to eat as much at lunch time?

big breakfast = big lunch appetite

no breakfast = not hungary for the entire day

Most of the time if I eat a big breakfast I end up skipping lunch all together.

Usually I just split a bagel with my daughter in the morning and eat a decent lunch.

I never eat a BIG breakfast. Bowl of cereal, banana, OJ, milk. Then at lunch time, I'll go lift weights and run three miles. If I had an appetite for lunch before I go, I certainly won't have one when I get back. Some days I just skip lunch all together, other days I'll eat a lunchmeat sandwich or something similar.
I'm never really hungry for lunch anymore.

I very seldom eat breakfast but when I do it's usually just a bagel. And when I do eat breakfast I seem to get hungrier sooner than when I don't.
