Feeling grumpy, tired, or irritable in the morning? You may be feeling this way because you didn’t eat breakfast. By the time you wake up in the morning, your body may have gone without food for 8 hours or more. It makes sense to refuel your body so you can start your day off on the right foot! We know that breakfast eaters have more energy to focus on their work throughout the day and have higher essential nutrient intakes.
