for / since

Hello teachers,

Please explain what the difference is between the following two sentences.

I haven't had breakfast since last month.
I haven't had breakfast for the last month.

Also, talking about the two sentences, let's say, I'm saying these today, on 8 Oct. When did I last have breakfast in the first and in the second case, respectively?

Thank you.

Bye

Henry
