Breakfast is definitely one of the most important meals of the day because it can provide you with the energy you need for school, work, or exercise. A few studies have even shared that eating breakfast can help maintain your desirable body weight, curbs snacking, and gives you the mental alertness you'll need to survive the whole day. However, due to lack of time or inability to insert it in your busy schedule, breakfast is often neglected by most adults.
