If you're trying to lose weight by running, you're most likely attempting to cut some calories in your diet, too. And it might be tempting to skip meals -- like breakfast -- before your runs, to create an even bigger calorie deficit. Problem is that if you don't have enough energy, your run won't be strong, which hurts both your motivation and your calorie-burning efforts.
