Abstract:
At different time throughout the history, those who shape policy have had varying beliefs about the importance of breakfast in overall diet quality. Today, there would appear to be universal recognition that breakfast should play a significant role in helping peoples attain an optimal nutritional profile. Notwithstanding the scale of this literature, significant challenges exist given the variation in such basic concepts as defining breakfast or breakfast skippers as well as exploring how breakfast food and nutrient intakes might be related to overall dietary quality. The practice of skipping breakfast is pretty common, and this is particularly true for adolescent girls. It is associated with many health problems and changes in various aspects of children’s and adolescents’ lives. The study aims to examine eating behaviour of college going girls and on the basis of this, to give awareness and formulate handy breakfast recipes for them.
