Who says breakfast is the most important meal of the day?<\/strong>
\nKellogg\u2019s and Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. \"\"
\nKellogg\u2019s has an obvious bias but here\u2019s why Johns Hopkins believes in the AM meal:
\n\u2022 Breakfast provides you with the energy and nutrients that lead to increased concentration in the classroom [or workplace].
\n\u2022 Studies show that breakfast can be important in maintaining a healthy body weight.
\n\u2022 Hunger sets in long before it’s time for lunch, but because it’s not convenient to eat properly, many people who have not eaten breakfast snack on foods that are high in fat and sugar.
\n\u2022 People who skip breakfast are unlikely to make up their daily requirement for some vitamins and minerals that a simple breakfast would have provided.
\n\u2022 Breakfast provides energy for the activities during the morning and helps to prevent that mid-morning slump.
\nAlthough science and consumerism both suggest that breakfast really is the most important part of the day a recent study conducted by Kellogg\u2019s Specialty Channels suggests that many people aren\u2019t taking the time to enjoy a healthy AM meal.
\nThe study used an online survey to poll 1,508 consumers of which over half ate breakfast on the go on a regular basis. Based on their responses Kellogg\u2019s divided consumers into 5 categories:
\n1. Discerning Dashers<\/strong><\/em>
\n2. Gulp n\u2019 Runners<\/strong><\/em>
\n3. Ninja Munchers<\/strong><\/em>
\n4. Sedentary Socializers<\/strong><\/em>
\n5. Sit n\u2019 Savorers<\/strong><\/em>
\n\"\"Here are some things that define consumers in each category:
\n\u2022 Discerning Dashers<\/strong> \u2013 Just want something for a quick boost, they\u2019re in a hurry and tend to graze. Although they\u2019re conscious about money, their number one priority is that whatever they eat they can pick up quickly on the way to wherever they\u2019re going.
\n\u2022 Gulp n\u2019 Runners<\/strong> \u2013 They only want a beverage (think coffee or Big Gulp) and know they will have a larger meal later.
\n\u2022 Ninja Munchers<\/strong> \u2013 These ninjas don\u2019t plan, they aren\u2019t overly concerned about health (i.e. a soda for breakfast is totally acceptable) and are always in a hurry so content to sacrifice eating even when they\u2019re hungry.
\n\u2022 Sedentary Socializers<\/strong> \u2013 This group consists largely of retirees. They enjoy spending money on food, like options and have the luxury of sleeping in so don\u2019t mind eating later in the day.
\n\u2022 Sit n\u2019 Savorers<\/strong> \u2013 Average age of this group is 51 years old and you\u2019re likely to find them in a caf\u00e9 or sit down restaurant for breakfast ordering something healthy.
\n3 of the 5 categories involved dashing, running or ninja chomping at breakfast, while the remaining 2 almost required consumers to be retired in order to enjoy a peaceful and healthy meal.
\nSo what does this mean for you and your workforce?
\nIt means that regardless of what type of snack <\/a>and beverage<\/a> program (vending, pantry, micro markets) you are offering your Inland Empire employees you want to make sure that you are offering healthy and portable breakfast items: granola bars, bagels, fresh fruit, coffee<\/a>, etc. because your employees are very likely not getting the fuel they need before leaving home.
\nYou may also want to consider working with your wellness committee to help promote breakfast amongst your Inland Empire employees so that they are better prepared for the day. Here are some tips from Johns Hopkins
\n\u2022 Pick 2-3 foods, including at least one from each of the following food groups:\"\"
\n-bread and grain (i.e. Cereal, toast, muffin)
\n-milk and milk product (i.e. low-fat yogurt, low-fat milk)
\n-fruit or vegetable group (i.e. bananas, apples, carrots)
\n\u2022 Pick up portable breakfast items when at the grocery store. You should buy foods like fruit, low-fat yogurt, whole grain breakfast bars, or granola bars for those mornings when you have to eat breakfast on the go.
\n\u2022 Replace or accompany that morning cup of coffee with a glass of orange juice or milk.
\n\u2022 Make an omelet! You can shorten preparation time by chopping up your vegetables ahead of time.
\n\u2022 Get up 15 minutes earlier. You can fix and consume a healthy breakfast in 15 minutes or less.
\n\u2022 Plan ahead to eat breakfast. This means you should decide what you are going to eat for breakfast before the next morning. You can save time by putting out the box of cereal or cutting up some fruit the night before.<\/p>\n
