Breakfast is the first meal of the day usually eaten in the morning. The word in English refers to breaking the fasting period of the previous night. Various "typical" or "traditional" breakfast menus exist, with food choices varying by regions and traditions worldwide.

While breakfast is commonly referred to as "the most important meal of the day", some contest the positive implications of its "most important" status.

Some epidemiological research indicates that having breakfast high in rapidly available carbohydrates increases the risk of metabolic syndrome.

Memory was found to be adversely affected in subjects of a study who had not eaten their breakfast (q.v. also Studies using mice under this heading). Intelligence was not affected. Children aged within 8 and 11 years were found to have differing brainwave; EEG activity states, causative to breakfast consumption. Non-breakfasting children were observed to have higher activity of upper and lower theta wave, alpha wave, and delta wave, which indicated a causative relationship of breakfast consumption to memory function in the subjects.

A review of 47 studies associating breakfast to (i) nutrition, (ii) body weight and (iii) academic performance found amongst those who had eaten breakfast: (i) better nutrition profiles, many studies found less weight (ii) irrespective of greater calorific consumption per day, although a number didn't find this correlation, (iii) studies suggested a possible link to better academic performance in the breakfast eating groups.

Present professional opinion is largely in favor of eating breakfast, but skipping breakfast might be better than eating unhealthy foods.

Bananas are incredibly healthy, convenient, delicious, and one of the most inexpensive fresh fruits you can buy. This makes them an excellent choice for anyone interested in eating healthy. Bananas contain many essential nutrients and may benefit weight loss, digestion, and heart health.

One banana provides about 112 calories and consists almost exclusively of water and carbs. They hold little protein and no fat.

The carbs in green, unripe bananas are mostly in the form of starch and resistant starch — a type of indigestible fiber we’ll get to shortly. As the fruit ripens, its flavor becomes sweeter while its fiber content drops.

The soluble fiber in bananas may help keep you full by adding bulk to your digestive system and slowing digestion. Additionally, bananas are relatively low in calories for their size. Combined, the low calorie and high fiber contents of bananas make them a more filling snack than other foods like processed or sugary boxed snacks. Protein is also filling, but bananas are low in this macronutrient. So, for a hunger-fighting snack, try eating a sliced banana with protein-rich foods like Greek yogurt, or blend a banana into a protein shake.
