I also very much dispute the oft-cited claim that "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" - my theory is that it came about as a marketing push for breakfast cereal companies looking to push their cheap carbs. It's become an ingrained, indisputable "truth" - hence some of the comments you got.
I remember being told as a kid that breakfast was really important, so I had "energy" and would be able to concentrate better.
I realise now that it's nonsense, at least if you eat a carb-laden breakfast. Eating carbs seems to start a cycle where you are going to feel hungry ~2h after eating (signalled by a blood sugar drop back to normal levels), regardless of how much you ate. I remember this from my school days too, not being able to focus because all I could think about was my next snack/meal!
I typically do a scoop of chunky peanut butter or some yogurt in the morning with coffee, then nothing until dinner. If I'm cooking, then I'll also snack a little while I prep. Usually at some point after dinner, I'm having another scoop of peanut butter.
I don't think this is for everyone, but for me it's perfect.
Years ago I would fast on a regular basis. Typically 1 - 3 days. It's something everybody should do once, even if they don't hit their target.
Like jahewson said, breakfast wasn't always a thing for adults. I'm not a nutritionist, but unless I'm training for something (which I am not), I don't see how my body could put three meals to work.
First off, people with hyperthyroidism generally have increased appetite because of an accelerated metabolism, not reduced appetite. So half his symptoms already don't match.
Secondly, don't try to diagnose people over the internet based on half a symptom and today's weather. Suggest them to see a doctor and leave it at that.
Just because you happened recently read of one random disease out of millions doesn't mean everyone has that now. You'll cause more harm than anything.
I did not imply that.

He did not only do that.
If you're getting up before the sun comes up to plow the fields all day, you'll probably eat more food to account for the amount of calories you burn.
If you're waking up around 8 or 9 to start your remote desk job from home, you can probably get by on a couple small snacks per day, or one meal.
The concept of a desk job is relatively newish, historically speaking. We've been eating a lot longer than desk jobs have been around.
