Maple! If you're studying medicine, you know that breakfast is important! But I like Khoff's suggestion. I just didn't really believe you meant that.

If I've guessed what you're trying to say, here's what I say in that situation:

I can't remember the last time I had breakfast.

I'm guessing you want to say that, though you used to have breakfast regularly, you don't have breakfast anymore as part of your daily routine.
