CHAPTER 1

THE BAD EFFECT OF SKIPPING BREAKFAST

Introduction

The claim that breakfast is the most important meal of the day has an abundance of sound
science behind it. Breakfast is continually suggested to be a critical feature of eating
regimens since it is associated with a healthier intake of nutrients, BMI, and lifestyle.
Several studies have shown the importance of having breakfast to the body's performance.
Moreover, recent studies have demonstrated that breakfast enhances intellectual capacity,
concentration, attention, and academic performance. However, there is a paucity of studies
that examine the relationship between breakfast consumption and academic performance in
the Linamon National High School.

There has been broad research interest in the possibility that breakfast can affect the
learning and academic performance of children and adolescents.
Although the results of these studies were diverse, breakfast intake seems to have a
positive short-term effect on intellectual and cognitive performance as compared to
breakfast omission in children and adolescents.

The definition of the term breakfast is still disputed among researchers and scientists.
However, the Department of Agriculture in the United States of America has stated that the
breakfast meal should contribute to at least 10% of the RDA for energy and should provide
foods 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.
Lamport, 2012). Moreover, breakfast can be defined as the first meal eaten in the day
before performing daily activities and it usually contributes to about 20% - 30% of total daily
energy needs (Tanya Zilberter, Eugene Yuri Zilberter, 2014).
