Breakfast is inportant because then you do not spike in the day and also crash. It will also give you a jump start to a great learning day. It helps in school because then you can concentrate more so you do better on the test. You can improve your breakfast if you put good food on your plate instead of junk food. For example instead of putting a donut you can put on an egg.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it gives you a great start to learn and give you energy for the day. Breakfast impacts your academic performance because with out a good meal your brain can't function right because it doesn't have the right stuff to keep it going. I can improve my breakfast choice by adding a fruit or not having to much sugar. I eat a banana, cereal, a cup of milk, and a vitamin.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it is the meal you start your day off with. If you have a sugary breakfast your day will start off not that great. If you have a healthy breakfast you will have more energy and start your day off with a great start. Breakfast impacts your academic performance at school because if you have a very sugary breakfast you feel lazy afterwards and don't want to learn or sit still at school, but when you have a nice and healthy breakfast you feel great, are in a good mood and are ready to learn and ace your test. To improve my breakfast I can have more fruit and if I ever want a waffle I will remember that I should have something like eggs instead. For breakfast I had eggs, milk, a bagel with cream cheese and I usually have a banana, but we didn't have any.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it is what starts of your day and so you don't spike and crash by 9:15 already. To improve your breakfast choices you can know you need five serving of fruits and veggies a day and figure out how many you need in the morning. I normally eat strawberries or a banana with cereal and a vitamin.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it gives you energy for school and gives you a great start to your day. Breakfast is also important because it can improve your grades and how well you perform in school. A bad choice to make for breakfast would be to have a doughnut and a sugary cereal. A good example would be to have strawberries, eggs, some non-fat yogurt, and some sausage. My breakfast includes strawberries, milk, and a healthy cereal.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because if you go to school and you spike and then dive you will be very tired, drowsy,you will not be able to listen to your teacher when she is talking , and most importantly get good grades even if you had studied all night last night. To improve your breakfast choices you could start eating things like eggs, peanut butter-toast, and a glass of milk.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because, it gets your mind working and you get energy when you do eat breakfast. If you really don't even eat breakfast, you really don't concentrate at school on your tests, or on your homework or anything. You just don't usually work as hard, because you are kind of still asleep. Instead of having left overs, and donut, cereal, or anything that really has sugar in it isn't good in the morning. You could spike and crash, spike and crash and do that more than 4 or 6 times in one day. If you have any sugar in the morning. Instead of that sugary stuff, I had Whole Wheat bread, with oatmeal and put blue berries and strawberries in it. I also had some watermelon on the side and milk. I really thought skim milk would be better, or 1% milk. You usually don't want to pick Whole milk because that has a little too much fat in it. But it is good if you are growing, but to have a better breakfast you would want to have skim milk or 1%. Also you could add some color into your breakfast like for example maybe add some berries or fruit into your breakfast. Or you could make a design on your breakfast. Like if your having good cereal like Cheerios you could banana on there in a circle or something. Be creative with your breakfast! I tried to describe the breakfast as best as I could. Just think about starting to have a good breakfast that does not have sugar in it. If you don't have sugar in your breakfast good job your heading in the right direction! Good job to you all if you are starting to have a good breakfast and taking my advice of having a good breakfast or if you have already been doing that.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because if you skip breakfast, its like skipping your free-time, fun-time, and not having ANY energy at all. But if you have breakfast, that doesn't mean go to the fridge, grab leftovers, and start eating them. That is not going to boost you up for the day. You may say that you just need something to satisfy your hunger until your hungry again, but what you actually need is something called PROTEIN. Ever hear of it? Well you are now because its something you need to make it through the day, and keep yourself healthy and free of diseases such as diabetes. Protein is a group of nutrients that provides energy and building blocks for growth and repair body tissues; found in meats and vegetables. What you will need to do to improve your breakfast choices is take things like fruit, low-fat yogurt, eggs, skim milk and things like that. What I did to find a good meal that is healthy, low on fat, less sugar, and has protein was to look at the packages/boxes. For example I took a banana, (because its fruit and it has at least 2 servings of protein) then I took the peanut butter jar and looked at what it said. The jar said there was at least 16g of fat which is not that bad, 7g of protein, and 3g of sugar. Even though the fat is higher than the protein, it doesn't matter. You really want to focus on the protein and the sugar. If the sugar is HIGHER than the protein, it will not keep you up and through the whole day. But if the protein is higher than the sugar, it will most likely keep you boosted. So, I took the peanut butter and set it on the table. Next, I took some bread, (French) and looked what that label said. The label said that there was 1g of fat, 4g of protein, and 0g of sugar. I took 1 slice out and cut it in half, spread the peanut butter on to the bread, and cut the banana into slices. Then I thought, "I need something to drink!" Than I looked at the milk (Vitamin D) because one, its good for you, two, it makes your bones and teeth stronger, and three, it provides just what you need. The milk I had had 8g of protein! Now, lets add up how much protein I had in my meal. In total, I had 19g of protein which is pretty healthy for your body to start you off in the morning. One tip I have is to make your food choices colorful. Like if you have eggs for breakfast, add some fruit with it! Your food you have doesn't look so good plain, so I suggest some "pop." BUT WAIT! You think just breakfast is going to make you stay up and feeling great through the day? Well, your wrong. You should have protein in your breakfast, lunch, and dinner through the day. The reason why is because even if you study all night for a test, or don't study at all, you will fail the test. A good breakfast leads off to a good day. Protein will keep you up and moving and you will not be having to use your desk or your hand as your pillow. I would suggest ending your "bad breakfast" days the next time as soon as you have it. I guarantee it will change your D's, to the first letter of the alphabet! Now, are you going to keep failing your tests and getting bad grades? Are you going to keep falling sleep in the middle of class? And are you going to keep having those "bead-head cranky" days? Well, if you said yes to any of these, good luck. But if you said no to all of them, I would suggest getting started as soon as possible, and getting creative with what you make!

Here is the breakfast I was describing above. See how it has a variety of colors? That's what you should do when you create your next "Healthy Breakfast!"

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because if you don't eat breakfast you won't have enough energy to do anything, like do tests, having fun, and doing homework. Breakfast impacts your academics at school because then you don't want to do anything and then you will get cranky at night because you have so much homework. To improve your breakfast choices you can have skim milk for your drink, have some color like strawberries and apple slices, and eggs.

I think breakfast is important because its the first meal of the day and it fills you up for a long time. It lets you have what ever you want. You mostly would want to have a healthy breakfast because you dont want to strike and crash. That means if you eat a lot of sugar for breakfast you will have a lot of energy for a couple of hours then you will get really tired and that is crash. You would really want to have a healthy breakfast so you dont starve or strike and crash. Be careful of what you eat and be sure to eat GOOD THINGS FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because honestly, if you don't have a great breakfast, nothing good will come out of your day. You will be tired, depressed and will just want to take a nap during your adjectives test. So really, you want to have a good breakfast otherwise you might spike and crash when you really don't need to, or even want to. But, lets be honest, NOBODY likes spiking and crashing. It just ruins your whole day. Spiking and crashing is when you have too much sugar, which leads to way too much energy. So, you basically, like, use all of the energy from the sugar, PLUS even more, and then you don't have any energy left at the end of the day. So you are basically dead by the end of the day, and you have no energy left to even go from class to class. Now, that is what stinks. So you don't want to spike and crash, and to do so you need to eat a good, healthy breakfast to start your day. That is kind of the whole point of why breakfast is sooooo important to lead a good, happy life and day. So if you don't eat breakfast every morning, yeesh!!!! You should really try to eat something, but something healthy ;}.

Breakfast impacts my academic performance at school because, if we do not have a good breakfast, we will spike and crash and might be too energetic to check through all of our answers to see if they are right, and we might crash and not even have the energy to keep your head up, like a baby. And if you don't eat enough protein; the stuff in the non-sugary foods you will spike and crash. The sugary foods like pop-tarts, froot-loops and other things are not good for you and contain way too much sugar in them. And, if you eat all of the sugary stuff and food (not really sure it should be considered food), you will get D's and C's when you should be getting higher grades than that; we all know why that problem occurred. Too much sugar!!! We have to make sure that our breakfasts do not have too much sugar in them; and definitely for those of you who eat lots of sugary stuff. You may be getting bad grades, and that's not good for anyone here!!!! But we all need to make sure we are eating the right stuff. Bad grades (did you know) isn't just bad for us; it's also bad for our teachers and parents? Well, it is. So, we all need to eat the not sugary stuff, or else? You know what happens. So breakfast DEFINITELY impacts your academic progress, right? Based on all that I've said before, I think we all get it by now.

In order to improve my daily breakfast, I could eat a little more than just greek yogurt, as you can see in the picture below. Maybe I could eat like, a salad or drink some milk. But, I do also take my vitamins every morning before I eat so I can stay happy, healthy and energetic during the day and not be such a spiky, crashy person (That sounded weird). We all can improve our breakfast choices, too. You may not realize it, but we ALL could improve our eating habits. We can also try eating less sugary foods, too. We all should try to eat better, so don't think you are perfect. You might think that drinking a can of soda couldn't hurt you, but it really can. Soda should really just be a special prize for special, fun occasions, like it is for me in my family.

My healthy choice is choice is a cup or two of Chobani greek yogurt. I have vitamins and a glass of milk to go with it, but they aren't shown in the picture. This is a nice, good, healthy breakfast to start off my day with plenty of protein and other vitamins and minerals needed to live a healthy day and life. Now, I won't spike and crash!!!

I think breakfast is important because its the first meal of your day and it fills you up for a long time to do things like testing or concentrating. Breakfast affects you academic performance by the way you concentrate. If you eat a sugary breakfast you will be boosted up for awhile and then after that you will go down and wont be able to listen or take a test even if you studied all night and mastered the whole study guide. To improve your breakfast choices you can start your day of with an egg, toast, and a banana. Remember to eat HEALTHY food not BAD food!!!! EAT RIGHT!!!!

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it gives you a kick start on the day and gets you fueled up and ready to go. Breakfast will impact your academic performance at school in a BIG way. It will give you energy to learn and stay AWAKE during class. If you have a good breakfast filled with protein, you will have a good learning day. If you have a really sugary breakfast, you will spike and crash. to improve your breakfast choices you can buy only foods with protein for breakfast so you don't spike and crash. You ncan also just simply chose things with a lot of protein in them.

I think breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it like starts off your day. So if you eat bad food you will be only nice and ready till like 9:00. After that you will crash. That means that you will be unfocused and all that. So if you eat a lot of protein you will be all ready till lunch. This will affect your actions for like test or just school. You will either do bad or good. What I can do to have better breakfast choices by eating more protein foods. Also I will eat fruit and vegetables.

Breakfast is important because it pretty much just gives you a huge lead on your day, if you don't have breakfast you would be tired and just lazy the whole day. Breakfast impacts your performance in school because, it keeps you energized through the whole day and helps you remember and stay focus the whole day. To help you improve your breakfast choices you could, eat bananas instead of chips, milk instead of pop or sugary juices, and have like toast instead of a doughnut. Thee could help you improve you breakfast choices.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because that's the first thing you eat each day. If you don't eat breakfast, you probabaly will be straving by lunch. And if all you can think about is eating your slice of pizza, I don't think that helps you in your school activites. To improve your breakfast choices you can add fruit, potein, and whole grains. For EGG-ample, you could have peanut butter spread on toast (instead of butter), a fruit of your choice, and some low fat yogurt. Another great option is scrambled eggs. Stay away from doughnuts, surgury cereal, and pop tarts or pastries. Now you enjoy your healthy breakfast!!!!!!!!!!

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Why? Breakfast helps your body get energy and feel good all through the morning. Breakfast helps improve my academic performance at school because I eat the right foods and the right sugars so then I don't spike and crash all the time. So I would say it helps my academic performance a lot. I think that I need to add more color to my breakfast to make it more healthy.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it provides you with energy that you will use for the rest of the day. Breakfast impacts your academic progress because if you don't eat a good breakfast, your brain won't have as much energy. What you can do to improve your breakfast is eat protein like peanut butter and fruits and vegetables like bananas. The protein gives you a lot of energy and the fruits give you nutrients ans vitamins.

Breakfast is important because it gets you ready and fully energized for the day. Breakfast impacts your academic performance because if you eat a good balanced breakfast you will do better. If you eat an not so good breakfast you will be tired and will probably not do so well on your assessments. You can improve your breakfast choices by eating colors, and protein.
