  • If you skip breakfast each day, you could be missing out on several vital nutrients.
  • Foods that are commonly eaten for breakfast don’t tend to be eaten at other times of the day. This can lead to underconsumption of the nutrients that they contain.
  • In addition, people who skip breakfast tend to snack more, especially on sugars, carbohydrates, and fat.
  • Experts say that it’s important to start your day with good nutritional choices, regardless of what you eat.

Skipping breakfast can be an easy habit to start, whether out of convenience or in an effort to cut calories.

However, a new study from researchers at The Ohio State University shows that regularly skipping breakfast may be a bad idea.

In fact, you could be missing out on several vital nutrients that you won’t make up for later in the day.
