To skip means to not do or not include something that you usually do or that should be done.
To compensate means to make up for something that is missed or lacking. It's often used to describe actions taken to balance out an absence or deficiency. For example:
If you skip lunch, you might compensate by eating more at dinner. - This suggests not having lunch and then eating more later to make up for it.
What does the expert mean by don't skip breakfast and you probably compensate later?
