Breakfast in your diet

The International Food Information Council (IFIC) Foundation’s 2008 Food & Health Survey found that ninety-two percent of Americans agree that breakfast is an important meal to achieve a healthful diet, but less than half (46 percent) report eating breakfast every day. Breakfast can be a great be way to boost your energy to get through the day and help with weight management.

“Many consumers are looking for ways to be healthy and gain more energy throughout their day, yet few eat breakfast,” says Jennifer Schleman, IFIC Foundation Director of Public Outreach. “A growing body of research shows the benefits of eating breakfast include weight management, increased cognitive skills, and better overall health.”

Of course, some things are easier said than done, but the International Food Information (IFIC) Foundation has resources to help consumers eat a healthful breakfast—all year long!
