digiuno). In other words the fast is broken by the first meal of the day.

Skipping BreakfastSkipping Breakfast

Some kids skip breakfast because they sleep too late or because they think it's

a way to stay thin.

Kids who don't eat breakfast are less able to learn at school, get less iron in their

diets, and have a higher body mass index (BMI), and they may be overweight.
