Why Breakfast Is the Most Important Meal of the Day
Some people skip breakfast in an effort to lose weight, but that’s not a good idea. It can backfire.
Skipping meals, especially breakfast, can actually make weight control more difficult. Breakfast skippers tend to eat more food than usual at the next meal, or nibble on high-calorie snacks to stave off hunger.
Some studies suggest that people tend to add more body fat when they eat fewer, larger meals than when they eat the same number of calories in smaller, more frequent meals. Other studies show that weight management can be equally effective without breakfast .
Why Kids Need Breakfast
While adults need to eat breakfast each day to perform their best, kids need it even more. Their growing bodies and developing brains need regular refuelling often, from food. When kids skip breakfast, they don’t get what they need to be at their best.
