Breakfast

Breakfast is the first meal of the day, eaten after the overnight fast. Typical breakfast foods include breakfast cereals, toast, bread rolls and other morning goods, often served with milk, butter, spreads, eggs, fruit or yoghurt depending on the country and household. From a nutrition perspective, breakfast replenishes energy stores and can supply fibre, protein, vitamins and minerals that support morning activity and concentration. Food manufacturers devote considerable product development to the breakfast occasion, with fortified cereals, bakery products and convenient formats designed for quick morning consumption.
