Students who eat breakfast are typically better able to pay attention and process information, so they do better in school, studies show. Adults who eat breakfast have reduced obesity and diabetes rates.
But skipping the first meal of the day is common — and it seems to get more common as we get older.
With school starting, here are some ideas for making sure the student at your house gets out the door with something nutritious in his tummy.
1. Set a good example.
Make it a point to eat breakfast yourself.
2. Aim for a bit of protein to keep you going.
A piece of toast spread with some peanut butter would be a good choice, for example.
3. Unconventional is OK.
Ever tried leftover pizza for breakfast?
4. Frozen whole-grain waffles are quick.
Top with applesauce for something different.
5. Make a smoothie.
Toss fresh fruit, yogurt or milk, and ice cubes in your blender.
6. Another unconventional idea:
Serve up a baked potato with low-fat toppings.
7. Cold cereal with low-fat milk is a good standby.
Mix things up by combining a few different kinds of cereal.
8. Keep a variety of grab-and-go breakfasts on hand.
Some options to consider: cereal bars, string cheese, mini muffins, boxes of raisins, fresh fruit, small bagels. | Only registered users can write comments.

|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)
We call it insight, you call it what you will. | |

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
