Saw an article on Yahoo! news describing a study in the journal of the American College of Sports Medicine.   Whilst the catchy headline told me to skip breakfast, the research data did nothing to persuade me to give up breakfast before doing activity.  The study looked at only 7 healthy and fit youths, with only 4 of the youths showing only a marginal increase in fat loss but ALL the youths measuring poorer athletic performance compared to their established athletic norms.
