Eat Your Breakfast!

The New York Times reports on a recently released study that shows some evidence that adolescents who eat breakfast have lower Body Mass Index (BMI). The research suggests that adolescents who eat breakfast consume more carbohydrates and fiber than fat and seem to exercise more, thereby helping them control their weight. The study also shows some interesting differences in the eating habits of adolescent boys and girls; girls were more likely to skip breakfast than boys, though boys ate more calories than girls.
