Teenagers who regularly eat their breakfast tend to weigh less, exercise more and eat a more healthful diet than their breakfast-skipping peers, researchers said in Washington on Monday, the March 3, 2008.
The study involved 2,216 adolescents whose eating pattern, weight and other lifestyle issues were tracked systematically for five years.
The more regularly the teens ate breakfast, the lower their body mass index was, according to the study. Those who always skipped breakfast on average weighed about 2.3 kg more than their peers who ate the morning meal every day.
