WHY IS BREAKFAST IMPORTANT
- It is your first meal after 9 - 10 hours. If you wait until snack, you've gone almost 12 hours without food and that isn't healthy
- People have more energy to last them through the day
- People make healthier choices. The kids who don't need breakfast tend to fill themselves up at snack with junk food
- It helps concentration. It's significantly easier to concentrate when your mind isn't focused on your growling stomach
- It improves your mood. Sometimes, even the most easy going guys lose their temper when they don't eat breakfast. Lack of it can cause sways in mood (none of those sways are good).
- It improves grades. It increases memory and problem solving skills and those are vital skills for young learners
Food Goal: My food goal is to avoid having a desert every day or so. I need to limit myself to about 2 or 3 a week max.
Kayzad that is a tough goal. Are you getting all the MyPlate foods each day? You are quite active so having desert each day may be ok? Do any of your deserts include fruit?
