Introduction
Breakfast likewise allows a person to get in a few nutrients and supplements from
healthy foods like dairy, grains, and organic products. On the off chance that one doesn't
eat breakfast, he would not probably get the majority of the supplements the body needs.
Numerous individuals skip the morning. feast since they're hurrying to get outdoor. People
requires food in their framework sometime in the afternoon. In the event that people don't
eat first thing, but they may get so eager later on that they nibble on high-fat, high-sugar
nourishments.
In our today’s generation many students are skipping their breakfast because they
chose to rush going in the school in the early. Students nowadays have no time eating
breakfast because they prefer waking-up late rather than eating a meal in the morning. A
study from Harvard University in July 23, 2013 found that men who skipped breakfast had a
27% greater risk of heart attack or heart disease than those who dug in. Although they
haven’t pinpointed a direct cause, researchers suspect that remaining in a fasting state for
longer is stressful and makes the body work harder, causing metabolic changes. According
to Christian J. Gastelum, MD a internist in Los Angles “The changes in hormones to help
maintain blood sugar levels and the trend toward weight gain in patients who skip breakfast
has been linked to heart disease,”. This shows that skipping breakfast in the morning have
an impact in the lifestyle of the students who are habitually doing it.
2. What are the health status of the students who skip breakfast in terms of their
physical activity, body mass index (BMI) and meal consumption frequency?
3. What is the frequency of skipping breakfast among senior high school students?
This study will greatly help to the contribution in the knowledge about the effects of
skipping breakfast and why are they skipping breakfast not only in this school but also in
other universities locally and internationally. The researchers hope that this research will
encourage the students and also the teachers to be drawn to eating breakfast every day
since it is our first meal of the day and it is very important in an individual’s health. Let this
study be an eye opener to the students and whoever reads this that breakfast plays an
important role in our health and lifestyle.
Students: The direct recipients of the output of this research are the senior high
school students who skip breakfast. Any improvement of their knowledge about the effects
of skipping breakfast can pave the way of producing better health and lifestyle.
Parents: The research benefits the parents of the senior high school students with
bad breakfast habit. As parents enrolled their children in this institution, comes with self-
assurance that their children are given more education that would make them a functional
individual in the society.
Teachers: This study will be very beneficial to the teachers, especially to the
teachers who are still newbie in the teaching profession. Through this research, teachers
may purposefully discover how their students are in lack of energy.
School: This study can be used as basis for implementing the regularly taking of
breakfast and on how to enhance the nutritional status for the 21st generation senior high
school students.
The Senior High School Students of Montessori de Sagrada Familia will be the
participants of the study, the researchers will use 50 senior high school students. The study
will happen in second semester of school year 2018-2019. The researchers chose the SHS
of MDSF because the students are already in exact age that they prioritize more school
works rather than eating a breakfast in the morning. This will determine their reasons why
they skip meals in the morning and to emphasize the effect on it in their health and lifestyle.
It delimits that the study may not be generalizable to other senior high school students who
ate their breakfast normally.

Theoretical Framework
Ariba Khaliq stated in 2014 that kids who eat the equivalent
solid nourishments that their folks eat are more beneficial, and this
examination underscored the significance of three suppers per day.
Children as often as possible skipping dinners would in general make
up those calories – to say the very least – with undesirable tidbits. It
additionally affirmed something that the greater part of us presumably
definitely know: our children are not eating the most beneficial eating
routine.

METHODS OF RESEARCH
The research population for this study consists of the senior high
school students of Montessori de Sagrada Familia. Eligibility criteria specify
the characteristics that people in the population must possess in order to
be included in the study. The sampling techniques that will be used are
purposive technique and simple random technique. These techniques are
chosen by the researchers to make the variables truly reliable in the study.
Subjects in the population will be asked if they are skipping breakfast, the
non-eater of breakfast will be used in the research. After we know who do
not eat breakfast the subjects will sampled by a random process, using
either a random number generator or a random number table, so that each
person remaining in the population has the same probability of being
selected for the sample.
Construction of Questionnaire:
Since this study aims to describe and find out the relationship of
skipping breakfast to the health of students, the researchers will use
statistical tests to know if there is a relationship of skipping breakfast to the
health. It is also because the Quantitative Research is considered to have
as its main purpose the quantification of data. This allows generalizations
of results from a sample to an entire population of interest and the
measurement of the incidence of various views and opinions in a given
sample.

This chapter consists of all the important data and information that
STEM 124 25
ABM 54 10
HUMSS 39 15

We can say that most of the breakfast skippers, in the student’s are
senior high school students within the reasons of their hectic schedules
because of the academics or getting up late and sometimes when they
wake-up they just feel full and doesn’t have the appetite to eat.
2. What are the health status of the students who skip breakfast in terms
of their body mass index (BMI) and Physical Activity?

Table 2.3

Table 2.4
The responses are gathered from 50 participants who meet the
requirements that are needed for the study, the table’s shows that normal
BMI dominates the whole table which consist of 33 students while some
says that they are obese with the count of 3 students, overweight with the
count of 8 students and underweight with the count of 6 students.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (2017) BMI
does not directly measure muscle to fat ratio, yet the study has
demonstrated that BMI is decently associated with more direct proportions
of muscle to fat ratio got from skinfold thickness estimations, bioelectrical
impedance, densitometry (submerged gauging), double vitality x-beam
absorptiometry (DXA) and different strategies. Moreover, BMI seems to be
as unequivocally related with different metabolic and illness result similar to
these more straightforward proportions of body heftiness.
Not only the societal but also the functional and indirectlythe
medicinal results of an inordinate gathering of fat likewise have been
perceived for centuries. In any case, the idea that "body building" (fatness)
is a noteworthy populace based medical issue picked up popularity in this
nation just right away before 1900. (Nuttall, Frank Q. MD, PhD, 2015)

Therefore we can say that skipping breakfast doesn’t affect the health
status of the senior high school students of MDSF and we can also say that
the null hypothesis will be rejected within the reasons of the significant
difference doesn’t meet the value of .05 or less than .05 and also it can be
reason that the students health status can’t be affected is because of their
metabolism, According to David Gauxin, (2016) Teenagers will likely lose
more weight easily and can be based upon their activity level. At that age
they don't have as many duties and their digestion is as yet revving on
high. Most of the food that they consume (even junk food) is used to body
build and not to maintain. With a higher rate of digestion, it should make
sense that any admission will be spent all the more rapidly to assemble and
preparing in the body instead of being put away as fat stores. Of course, for
the most part young people aren't restrained by occupations that are
basically sedentary, making losing excess weight more difficult as we age.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
CONCLUSIONS
1. The STEM strand is the one who have more students who skip
breakfast other than ABM and HUMMS strand.
2. Students who skip breakfast Body Mass Index (BMI) are likely to be
normal and healthy for their height and weight.
3. Physical activity does not really affect the health status and the meal
consumption of the students who skips breakfast. It does not have
relationship as well if the students are active or inactive, intense or
low physical activity to their BMI as well.
4. The main reason why students skip their breakfast is because of lack
of time to prepare and eat meal in the morning.
5. Skipping breakfast does not really affect the health status of the
Senior High School students of MDSF
6. More students rarely skip breakfast in the morning. They are only
skipping breakfast once in a week.
7. Many students skip breakfast because they have no appetite to eat
their breakfast in the morning.
RECOMMENDATIONS
3. Always check the intensity of their physical activity and their meal
consumption are aligned when skipping breakfast because it may
affect their health as a student.
1. Adjust the time schedule to give some time for students to eat
their breakfast.
2. Give the students at least 30 minutes before the class starts for
them to eat breakfast in school if ever they are petty late.
