more likely to have beneficial nutrient intakes, like higher dietary fiber intakes, fewer
carbohydrates, and lower overall fat and cholesterol. Breakfast also makes a important

Several studies have demonstrated the value of getting breakfast for the body 's results.
The Department of Agriculture in the United States of America has reported that
breakfast meals should contribute to at least 10% of the RDA for energy and should
provide food from at least two of the following food groups: grains, low-fat dairy
products, fruits , vegetables, lean meats, and finally nuts, seeds , and legumes (Lauren
A. Hasz, Mark A. LaM.P., 2012). In addition, breakfast can be described as the first
meal eaten throughout the day before daily activities and typically contributes to about
20 percent-30% of total daily energy needs (Tanya Zilberter, Eugene Yuri Zilberter,
2014). With so much knowledge yet unclear about the precise relations between
breakfast foods and not only should school success, policy-makers, educators and
parents embrace daily breakfasts consumption but also seeking to change the food

Giovannini et al. ( 2010) perhaps summarizes best, breakfast has both an effect
on health and in children's academic ability. The fact that this idea was accepted so
quickly can be viewed in the common context of school breakfast programs in the USA
and elsewhere. Several studies have recently confirmed that breakfast intake is related
to certain aspects of brain function, such as neural network activity and cognitive
performance. Given that breakfast is essential for adolescent brain growth, a high-
