Background: Breakfast is widely recognized as a critical meal of the day. However, some students, particularly females, often skip breakfast, believing it may contribute to weight gain. In contrast, other studies report differing findings regarding this behavior.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the effects of breakfast omission among adolescents.
Method: A questionnaire-based survey was conducted with a sample of 50 adolescents, assessing their attitudes toward consuming three meals daily, with a particular focus on breakfast. Statistical analyses were applied to examine the implications of breakfast skipping among adolescents.
Results: The majority of participants were male (62.0%), with an even distribution across grades seven (40.0%), eight (30.0%), and nine (30.0%). A significantly higher proportion of boys (74.19%) reported never skipping breakfast compared to girls (47.37%). Conversely, a larger percentage of girls (36.84%) indicated that they sometimes skip breakfast, in contrast to boys (19.35%).
Conclusion: The findings indicate a notable interest in breakfast consumption; however, many students skip it due to time constraints or lack of hunger in the morning. The survey results suggest that a significant number of students, especially females, do not regularly consume breakfast, potentially leading to adverse health effects, including weight loss and impaired concentration
