Adherence
Skipping breakfast is associated with higher energy and carbohydrate intake at dinner, which correlates with overweight/obesity in children.
If you skip breakfast, be aware that you may be compensating by eating more, especially carbohydrates, at dinner. This pattern is linked to higher rates of overweight in children. Consider eating a small breakfast to stabilize intake throughout the day.
Furthermore, overweight/obesity in breakfast skippers was related to a higher energy and carbohydrate intake at dinner(41).
Why this rating
Based on a longitudinal study of children, observational data showing association.
