Your body performs better when glucose levels kept at an even level and when you wake up in the morning your glucose level is low. Eating breakfast will help even out your glucose levels and improves your body, emotions and performances during the day. This is most true when trying to do visual tasks. So the real question is what would a single reason be for skipping breakfast? There are many theories out there on what is said to be “good” reasons to skip breakfast. There are many diet restrictions that hold people back from eating a good breakfast because they think it goes over the calorie intake for the day that they can have.

The 24-hour food diary that I kept was for Tuesday, September 27, 2016. This was a day that I did not work. For breakfast at 7:49 AM, at home, I had dark roast coffee (12 fl oz.), with half and half (1tbsp) and no calorie sweetener (1 packet) as well as with oatmeal (½ cup dry), which I made with water (1 cup). Once ready, I added brown sugar (1tsp) and raisins (¼ cup) to my oatmeal. This is my usual breakfast, whether I have work or not. I like to eat oatmeal in the morning because it is simple to prepare, it fills me up and keeps me feeling full throughout the morning. As for the coffee, I love the taste of coffee and it does a good job at giving me an extra boost of energy which I need in the morning. At 11:28 AM, at home, I had a smoothie,
Teenagers should not skip breakfast. If teens are planning in losing weight, they should focus more on increasing their vigorous level for physical activities. Skipping breakfast will not help lose weight because the person will be starved by the time they eat lunch and might binge eat leading to gaining all the calories they supposedly lost skipping breakfast. Skipping breakfast also leads to a more sluggish start to a person’s day and they will feel more tired with less energy to perform tasks than a person who eats breakfast. If a teenager is late for school, he/she should grab a quick snack or at least something to eat rather than nothing.

First of all, school starting later in the morning will give students the time to eat breakfast. There are very few days during the school year where I get the opportunity to eat breakfast, and when I do, I notice, myself, to be more attentive while in class. However, when I am not able to eat breakfast, my ability to function in class is inferior, or not very good, because of the thoughts “hurry up lunch time” and “wish I had time to eat this morning.” This leads me to be less intent while in class. Moreover, many students say they do not eat breakfast due to the lack of time. In a research report by Breakfast First, an organization that promotes the necessities of students having breakfast, states that one out of every five students does not get to eat breakfast, and that eating breakfast can help students stay strong-minded and conscious during class. Also stating, eating breakfast helps students from having constant thoughts of when lunch time is or from having rumbling stomachs. This research shows how important breakfast is for student’s cognitive abilities, which springs a reason to why schools should begin later in the morning.
Oatmeal is most commonly consumed in the form of a sweet or salty porridge in the houses but after many types of research nutritional and health benefits of oatmeal has made people have it for breakfast on a regular basis. Let's have a look at the health benefits of oatmeal.
The benefits of good nutrition are important for everyone at home and at work. Good health begins with a good breakfast. People who have a morning meal are more likely to take in more vitamins and minerals, and much less fat and cholesterol. (WebMD, 2008) The effect is often a leaner body and less chance of overeating and going to the vending machine during work hours. Researchers at the 2003 American Heart Association conference reported that breakfast eaters have a lower chance of being obese and getting diabetes. Another study in the International Journal of Food Science and Nutrition concluded that people that eat breakfast cereal daily feel better both physically and mentally compared to the people who almost never ate cereal for breakfast. A Web MD article explains “To get the full benefits of breakfast, the Mayo Clinic recommends a meal with carbohydrates, protein, and a small amount of fat. They say that because no single food gives you all of the nutrients you need, eating a variety of foods is essential to good health.” Even if an employee does not have time to eat before work, because they are rushing to be on time or their morning consists of dealing with children, bringing a breakfast that they can eat as soon as they get to work would be a healthy habit to get into. Multi- tasking is possible when eating cereal, fruit and nuts at the same time as checking voicemail or emails. Good nutrition needs to continue throughout the day. Fruits and vegetables, healthy snacks, drinking water or tea to stay hydrated, and eating dairy products all add to well-balanced meals. For example, eating healthy dinners with fish two times a week can vastly improve a person’s well-being because fish has omega 3 fatty acids.
Today's culture promotes eating habits that contribute to obesity. People may serve large portions and foods that are most readily available instead of choosing foods that are most nutritious. Cooking with butter, chocolate and other high-caloric foods is a normal part of the American diet. Also, food is often used as a reward in this country. Children are treated to sweets for cleaning their room, and the team is taken for pizza or ice cream after the game. Seldom is eating only when hunger is present (What Causes Obesity?).

Merriam-Webster defines breakfast as “the first meal of the day especially when taken in the morning.” Morning is generally accepted as anytime between dawn and noon. Noon. As in 12 p.m. Not 11 a.m. And certainly not 10:30 a.m. Who is McDonald’s to tell me when to eat breakfast? Who are they to tell me what time is lunch? Breakfast and lunch is whatever time you want it to be.
This is not really a widespread habit in Britain. British people eat out rather regularly. They have three main meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner.

This brings me to my first point, which is the student’s activity level or if the student is an early bird or night owl (Plotnik & Kouyoumdjian, 2013). Everyone knows most people have a difficulty to wake themselves up in the morning, even with the help of an alarm clock. I myself have formed the habit to set multiple alarms as I have a tendency to hit the snooze button and ends up waking up later than I should. For students who chose morning classes, it would help you a long mile if you are a morning person and are able to focus perfectly in the morning (Taylor, 2012). While morning classes have a great setback that often causes students to miss their breakfast, this does not seem to be a big problem nowadays because of the existence of protein bars and other light foods created for easy eating specifically for these cases.
