Eating a "full meal" at breakfast is what fricks a lot of people up
That’s silly. If you took your typical lunch and dinner and moved those meals to breakfast and lunch you would be in the same boat and saying that dinner is what screws people up.

It’s also been my understanding that eating breakfast helps jumpstart your metabolism.
But of course just like other meals, what you eat is the important part. You can’t convince me that a banana and cup of Greek yogurt with some granola on top is preventing people from losing weight.

The difference is that breakfast is touted as compulsory because "it's the most important meal of the day" and "it jump-starts your metabolism!" So whether people are hungry or not, they feel compelled to put down a few hundred calories, or more, right at the start of the day. Then they wonder why their metabolism hasn't been "jump-started".
No rational person eats dinner thinking it's going to help them lose weight. Otherwise rational people eat breakfast thinking it's going to help them lose weight.
ETA: To the other poster, while it isn't really helping, no, Greek yogurt, granola, and a banana isn't really keeping people from losing weight. What percentage of the overweight US population would you say has that, and only that, for breakfast each day? Yet, in their minds, their breakfast "helps".
