Girls Skip Breakfast
Girls increasingly skip breakfast as they get older - and they're skipping breakfast because they're rushing to get to school on time, needing more sleep, and not feeling hungry.
Teens who skip breakfast are ravenous by lunch and tend to overeat or make unhealthy food choices. And they're actually more prone to weight gain. Breakfast skippers also miss out on vital dietary sources of bone building calcium. Most bone mass accumulates before age 20.
Parents can help prepare quick meals girls can take and eat on their way to school. It can be as easy as blending a smoothie at night for your daughter to put in a portable shaker the next morning.
