Well, there's not big harm in doing it occasionally. But it's not helping anything either. Your body, like a car, runs best when it's fueled regularly, and your body, just like a car, can run unevenly when the tank runs low.
For humans, running low on food, even if they're not feeling hungry, usually means becoming grumpy, irritable and bad tempered. They frequently won't have the energy needed to deal with things either.
So if you don't want to eat for yourself, eat for the sake of the people around you. Someone behaving like above isn't much fun to be with.
Skipping meals is also a poor plan for someone trying to lose weight. First off it lets you get much hungrier when you finally do have a meal, so it's a lot easier to overeat.
Secondly, you might get so hungry that you decide to pick up a snack on your way, and that snack might not fit in your diet plan at all.
Third, if you eat too little, and too far between, your body will slow right down to get the best"mileage" possible out of what little it gets - which makes it even harder to lose weight.
Regular, planned meals and snacks keeps your motor going, keeps you from getting too hungry, keeps you from overeating, and keeps you from picking up something unhealthy along the way.

What are the health effects of skipping meals?
It isn't wise to skip meals. The reason most people willingly skip meals is to lose weight. The thing is, skipping meals to lose weight isn't necessarily going to help burn off the pounds. Why? It's because of the metabolism. When you eat, your metabolism kicks into gear. If you don't eat, it's not going to work very efficiently. Also, if you skip too many meals, breakfast especially, your metabolism may go into survival mode. Basically that's an evolutionary thing where when you don't eat, the metabolism says 'Oh Jeez, this guy isn't eating. Clearly that means there's no food available so we better do something to prevent death!' Well, what the metabolism does for that is start retaining everything. No burning off calories or fats, keeping everything in. That's not a good thing. It's better to eat five to six small meals throughout the day than to blatantly skip meals. In fact, five to six small meals a day can be really beneficial for the metabolism, and have it working at its peak.
