Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it gives you the energy to start your day and perform your activities. Breakfast is even more important for those who are quite active for eg exercising, body building, sports as it gives your body the necessary nutrients when you first wake up. Breakfast and nutrition go hand in hand. If you skip breakfast, your nutrition isn't complete. Having a healthy and enough copious breakfast meal is important and not just nibbling on low quality food like in 1 minute. This isn't a good breakfast. A proper breakfast should preferably include cereals like oatmeal, cornflakes, wheetabix with milk plus eggs, fruits or juice.

A healthy lifestyle includes breakfast because this means you take care of your body and feed it properly. If you go to work without eating in the morning, you'll get hungry during working time. And what you'll do is usually snack on something real quick. This is not good nutrition. For athletes and those who do weight training, proper breakfast is fundamental because if you have to train in the morning or even in the afternoon, your body already receive the nutrients to fuel your workouts or training.

So don't miss breakfast. You just need to spare a little of your time to prepare it. And it doesn't take hours. Taking a few minutes to prepare a healthy breakfast meal will also make you more disciplined and will give you a good routine everyday.
