Why 3 out of 5 for breakfast? Which one of these is important to you?

Breakfast is the most important meal of a day. It is important to eat breakfast everyday so that you can get all the nutrients you need to keep your body healthy. What should you eat for breakfast? Choose foods from the food groups to make sure you have a balanced breakfast. That will last you to lunch. In food group foods are key to having the energy you need to start your day. You need a balanced breakfast everyday and that means that you need foods from three and five food groups. Not just any three but a certain combination of them. To have a healthy breakfast you need at least one from the breads, grains, and cereals group. One food from the fruits and vegetables group. One food from the milk and milk products or beans and nuts group. This will give you the energy you need to start a day. There are many ways to make a 3 out of 5 breakfast. You can make a smoothie with strawberry, yoghurt and milk, and a piece of toast. Another 3 out of 5 breakfast to be cereal with milk and bananas on top. Another option would be a bagel with peanut butter, a glass of milk and carrot sticks. When you eat a sugary breakfast like donuts or you do not eat a balanced 3 out of 5 breakfast you may feel tired, grouchy, get a stomachache and feel hungry. But if you eat a healthy breakfast, for example, 3 out of 5 breakfasts, you will have the energy you need to last you until lunch. You will be able to concentrate better, have energy to play with friends and feel happy. What will you eat for breakfast tomorrow to make sure you are ready for the day? Do you understand why eating breakfast is important? Do you think you can pick food from the 3 out of 5 for breakfast?
