The principles of healthy eating are the aspects discussed not only in the narrow professional environment of nutritionists but also among ordinary people since this topic affects everyone. Particular attention is paid to the nuances of child nutrition because the problems of obesity and related chronic problems at an early age are becoming more acute. Breakfast is a critical meal, and for schoolchildren, its importance is due to a number of factors that confirm a direct correlation between morning meals and school performance. Laguipo (2019) cites statistics and notes that children who rarely eat in the morning show lower academic productivity than those who eat breakfast regularly. Education coordinators are aware of this and are doing their best to create appropriate conditions for the proper nutrition of schoolchildren by offering school breakfasts and alerting parents to the importance of the first meal. National health programs are aimed at developing punctuality and responsibility in schoolchildren, and encouraging breakfast intake is a valuable initiative to educate the necessary qualities.
As a strategy to test the hypothesis of a positive effect of breakfast on school performance, one can conduct an experiment similar to that of Laguipo (2019). It is assumed that eating in the morning helps children be more focused, and through engaging two control groups, a productivity assessment will be made. The prediction is that children who eat in the morning will be more active, and as the variables to evaluate, the intermediate academic performance outcomes will be compared between the two groups. The results will help identify a positive correlation between breakfast intake and academic productivity, and relevant recommendations will be given to children and their parents.
