Don’t skip breakfast

Children who skip breakfast generally have poorer nutrition. Their diets contain less:

  • Calcium
  • Iron
  • Dietary fibre
  • Vitamins such as riboflavin and niacin.

Skipping breakfast becomes more common as children get older. Some schools have introduced breakfast programs because they were concerned about children who skip breakfast. Children generally perform better at school when they have breakfast. They are also more likely to maintain a healthy weight when they consume a healthy breakfast.
