Based on my findings, this research suggest that although children and adolescents seem to be
aware of the importance of breakfast there is still only an average of 4.5 days per week that
breakfast is actually consumed. Because there were only 15 subjects it is hard to say if this is an
actual trend among children and adolescents, however it has been shown in other studies that a
significant amount of students reported to skip breakfast three or more times per week (Gross,
Bronner, Welch, Dewberry-Moore, & Paige, 2004).
