The real reason breakfast is sooo important

Even though you barely have enough time to catch the bus in the morning, skipping breakfast is no longer an option.  In fact, missing that crucial meal may be the reason why you can’t ever seem to get those A’s instead of B’s. Eating breakfast has been proven to make people perform better in school and on tests, which equals better grades. Another crazy fact? Kids who eat breakfast regularly are actually more likely to be on time and attend school than those who don’t chow down at all in the morning.

Skippin’ breakfast because you think it’ll make you lose weight? Wrong. This often-purported myth is totally false, as skipping breakfast slows down your body’s metabolism, which means you won’t burn calories and fat as quickly as you would if you ate within an hour of getting out of bed. Plus, you’ll be super hungry for lunch, which can lead to overeating or snacking on foods that are completely unnecessary and unsatisfying.  

You don’t have to have a sit-down feast everyday, but you should make healthy choices to give your bod what it needs. Instead of grabbing a pastry or eating spoonfuls of sugary cereal, grab some protein and fiber to keep you satisfied longer. Try making a turkey sausage, egg beaters, cheese and whole-wheat English muffin sandwich before school. Sure you’ll have to wake up a little earlier, but the benefits of this yummy meal are endless!

mod mod mod!
i've started doing local school this year (school in russian! my russian is ok..ish lol)
its pretty hard, but i get stressed easy..so im getting a bit better with the whole stress thing...but i haven't had much of an appitite lately..and i've like BArely eatin at ALL in the last few days... im worried thats its not healthy to be stressed and not eat..i mean im getting better with the stress im usually a very happy person! but im worried i might get under weight..or smthn..im normal weight now..not fat..so it wouldnt take much...i usually eat twice the amount i have been lately..if i eat more..i feel sick...what can i do to help it? is this healthy? thx Smile xoxo




Hey girl,

I totally understand - some people overeat when they get stressed, but I usually totally lose my appetite! You're right, it isn't healthy to be this stressed or to stop eating. Instead of worrying about your weight, worry about the fact that you're not getting the vitamins and nutrients that your body needs. You need to calm down by planning your days (use a calendar to allot time for homework, friends, and YOU time), giving yourself plenty of relaxation time with bubble baths, facials, painting your nails, naps, or other pampering. And finally, remind yourself that mistakes aren't the end of the world. As long as you learn from them and apply it to your future, you've done the right thing!

MOD MOD******
Ok i get really bad headaches if i dont have some kind of sweets for breakfast so i figured once school starts this will be even more horrible especially since it's gonna be my first year of high school. So what kind of foods would i need to eat that are low cal but still have some source of sugar and fiber to keep me full till lunch for my headaches will stay away?

 

Hey girl,

 

Sorry about your headaches - migraines aren't fun! Treating them with sweets, though, isn't a great solution - you should probably see your doctor about ways to stop them for good. Eating healthy snacks during the day might help, and if you really need that sweet fix, try naturally occurring sugars, like fruits.
