# Is it bad to skip breakfast?



## Answers

### Answer by Tahmid Alam

It depends on the person. Research is mixed: some studies link regular breakfast with better concentration, especially in children, and steadier energy, while others find skipping it doesn’t harm healthy adults if their overall diet is good.

What matters most is the quality of what you eat during the whole day. Skipping breakfast and then overeating junk food later isn’t helpful. Children, teenagers, pregnant women, and people with diabetes or certain health conditions are usually advised to eat a proper breakfast. If you do eat one, choose protein and fibre, like poha with peanuts, eggs, oats or idli with sambar.
