I have a high calorie diet and having a boy but I've never eaten breakfast either so I think it's all rubbish

It is the male that determines the sex of the baby. If a womans egg is fertilised with a Y sperm baby will be a boy but if it's fertilised with an X sperm it will be a girl All eggs are X so it depends on the males sperm as to what sex the baby is.

If you study any large group of statistics you can pretty much draw out any conclusion you want to see. It doesnt mean its anything other than a coinsidence.

That said I hope it right......

Well there can be one definate conclusion.....slow news day.....

I hate that they put this in the paper, my OH is now insistant I start eating 2500 calories a day for atleast 2 months before we try for number 2 so we have a boy. ICK. I am not eating that much.

Wow.... sounds like a complete load of b*****s to me.

I don't ever eat breakfast and I never eat high calorie diets and I had my son first and then my daughter lol.

I almost never ate breakfast before I pg and certainly didn't eat it after (up until recently...was too sick!). I didn't eat a low-calorie diet either...(didn't get fat from not eating! lol) and LO is definietly a girl.

Yes, gametes (reproductive cells [eggs, and sperm]) carry one set of sex chromosomes.

Eggs - X
Sperm - X or Y

So when egg and sperm combine XX or XY determines gender. XX= Girl / XY= Boy

And diet and lifestyle can certainly effect the cells in our bodies. It is entirely possible (though IMHO highly unlikely for this to be a huge difference) for eggs (as they mature each cycle) to develop an outer membrane that is more suseptible to penetration and fertilization from one sperm gender or another.

i would like to think its true (i want a girl!), as before i got pregnant i would never have time to eat breakfast..guess ill find out in a few weeks!

as normally active women we can handle 2000 calories a day anyway so it's not that much more....just a twix, and a kitkat maybe.
