  heard that saying, breakfast is the most
  important meal of the day. While you sleep,
  your body uses energy for functions such as
  breathing and keeping your heart beating. Studies
  show that eating a nutritious breakfast improves
  mental and physical performance and reduces
  fatigue later in the day. Eating breakfast may
  also help you to maintain a healthy weight.
  Skipping meals may cause you to overeat later in
  the day.
