September is promoted as better breakfast month, as skipping breakfast can cause problems like drops in mental and physical performance due to the long period without food after dinner. A good breakfast should provide 1/4 to 1/3 of daily nutrients and at least 300 calories from foods like grains, fruits or vegetables, dairy, and protein to fuel morning tasks and supply vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates needed. Non-traditional breakfast options are also possibilities for those who have trouble finding time for breakfast.
