I. Introduction
Study Title
Objective
Relevance
The study aims to determine the correlation between having breakfast and its
impact on students' academic performance. Breakfast is an essential part of one’s
routine as it can give the student the energy they need to start their day. However,
some students decide to skip breakfast for various reasons, one of which is the lack
of time to prepare it, and some even out of habit. The study tries to uncover
whether there is a benefit to adding breakfast to a student’s routine to boost their
academic performance.
II. Methods
The research involved six (6) participants, and the method employed was
simple random sampling. The researchers chose this approach to reduce bias and
facilitate implementation because the randomization makes the findings more likely
to be reliable and relevant to a broader population.

Data Collection
Due to the study being quantitative, the researchers used an online survey
consisting of relevant questions to gather data. The respondents were informed
about the purpose of the study and will be updated after the gathered data has
been analyzed and interpreted. The participants were assured that no personal data
is needed and that their identities are protected under the Data Privacy Act of 2012.

Findings
Based on the data gathered from the survey, most students feel more tired
and less focused when they skip breakfast. This may be due to the lack of glucose,
which students can get by eating breakfast, and serves as our brain’s fuel. When
glucose levels decrease, the brain lacks the energy required for optimal function,
resulting in fatigue, trouble focusing, and mental lethargy. Inability to focus affects
students’ mental capabilities throughout the day as they have an influx of
information to absorb and retain throughout the day.
The data gathered shows that the majority of respondents believe that
breakfast impacts their ability to concentrate and perform academically. Most of the
respondents answered that their concentration and focus during morning classes
were average, despite their different breakfast habits. This data suggests that
breakfast eating habits influence nutrition, which is interlinked with cognitive
performance function.
