On the whole, the paper is well prepared. Discussion is sufficient, but presented studies results should be analyse more detailed.

Title: Breakfast skipping, weight, cardiometabolic risk, and nutrition quality in children and adolescents: a systematic review of randomized controlled and intervention longitudinal trials

Recommendation: Major review

Comments:

1. This type of paper should cover more than 10 manuscripts. The Authors excluded 441 only based on the title. I would recommend to expand the paper and to thoroughly study the subject of rejected papers.
2. In my opinion, nicely described and informative schemes would be an additional value.
