As the first meal of the day, breakfast should provide 25-/30 of the total energy of the whole day. Breakfast is very important for growing children, but it is the most easily overlooked meal among three meals a day. Children who eat breakfast regularly have better nutritional status, improved cognitive function and are less likely to be overweight. Developing good eating habits and having three meals a day regularly have a positive impact on the healthy growth of children.

A high-protein breakfast is beneficial.

High-protein breakfast can increase postprandial energy consumption and fat oxidation of overweight children aged 8- 12, and reduce hunger.

Nutrition for breakfast is very important.

Eating breakfast well not only affects the growth and development, cognitive ability and academic performance of children and adolescents, but also is related to the occurrence of obesity.

Eating habits affect health.

Developing good eating habits and having three meals a day regularly have a positive impact on the healthy growth of children. At present, the phenomenon that children don't eat breakfast in China is still quite common. The variety of breakfast food is single and the nutritional quality is poor, which should attract more attention from the society.
