Most youngsters today be they students or adults pursuing a career, skip on the most important meal of the day-breakfast. This may be due to many factors ranging from either no time, not hungry, or even to lose weight. As a result they are famished by mid day and tend to gorge on whatever available around.

Now this is one big myth I want to dispel especially for the last category of people trying to shed pounds. In fact skipping breakfast actual leads to add on pounds, since the body over a long over night fast is lying low and unable to perform physiologically. That actually means slowing down the metabolism of one's body, thereby leading to gaining fat mass. Lesser the body is put to work, more the output of energy, causing one to be lethargic, listless and unable to cope with the day. On the contrary a good protein based breakfast helps boost metabolism acting as a kick start for the day. In case of students it increases their attention span in school thereby boosting their scholastic performance. It is not important how much is eaten for the first meal, as is important that the quality or composition of the meal is healthy. That means a good protein base with moderate and complex carbohydrates and low fats.

Therefore, one small message of the day is never to skip breakfast and eat wisely whenever you set out for your day's job.
