If someone tells you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, chances are, it is probably not the first time you’ve heard of it. And if something is oft repeated, it is most likely that there are reasons behind it. Often times, breakfast becomes the difference between a well-managed fruitful day and one where you barely have the energy to drag yourself on till the night. Between your dinner and breakfast, there are as many as 10-12 hours of sleep. This means that the body is deprived of food and hence energy for a long time. When you skip your breakfast, you are elongating this time period thereby making your body go into an emergency state where it tries to conserve as much energy as possible, leaving you feeling tired and lacking in concentration.

Skipping breakfast leads you to binge eating of foods which are high on calorie content. This eventually becomes a habit, enlarges the size of your stomach and makes you obese.

Also there are studies that show that people who eat in the mornings perform better and also have a better memory. These serve as ample reason to not skip a healthy breakfast in the mornings.
