Date of submission : 20th July 2010
INTRODUCTION
The first meal of the day has long been promoted as a healthy way to start the day (A. Lluch, 1999).Some people say that it is a norm not to take breakfast in the morning especially people in the developing country. It's true that maybe some of them could not afford to have breakfast in the morning. But from a research that had been carried out, it shows that breakfast is the most important diet in a daily life.(G. Affenito, Sandra, 2007). Most of our energy used is in the morning. That why we need to consume a food in the morning to provide enough energy for our body to perform a daily routine. Some people maybe said that they don't need a breakfast to perform their routine life as there are no different whether they take a breakfast or not. But that just only what they think based on their narrow minded because for the people who has a good life style, they see that breakfast are very important for them. The statistic in University of Wisconsin-Stout shows that 64.7 % people who take a breakfast everyday will perform in their job. As an example, the student who are taking their breakfast in the morning will be more concentrate in the class compare to those who are not eat anything in the morning. From a research, it is found that those who had eaten a small breakfast, on average 61 kcal, spent significantly less time attending to their work than those who had eaten larger meals(Benton, David, 2006). It's mean that even though they take a breakfast but in small quantity that are not enough to provide an energy for their body will not do well compared for those who has enough diet for their body.
OVERVIEW.
In the developing country, the awareness of having breakfast is high compare to our country. Researchers in developing country have found out that the negative effects of skipping breakfast. They found out that skipping breakfast may leads to heart risks and weight gain. (G. Affenito, Sandra, 2007). Based on my observation, most of students of University Malaysia Pahang rarely having breakfast. This is because most of students wake up late due to lots of assignment that needs to be done. There are also a few students that thinks the breakfast is not important and takes it lightly. This kind of actions make most of student unfocussed in class. This can be proved as many of the students fall asleep during lecture.
PROBLEM STATEMENT.
