Researchers in the US noticed a third of adults in the US leave breakfast and consume certain snacks and graze throughout the day except a healthy meal. The experts warn such individuals that it may lead havoc with their health.

There are guidelines for healthy living released by American Heart Association and with British experts. They noticed the habit of skipping breakfast is common and trendy in the country. The lifestyle of the people in the UK is more demanding by which people's meal patterns also became irregular, Victoria Taylor, at the British Heart Foundation, says.

When it is compared with past years, meals are skipped or consumed on the way to the office or postponed. While considering the health aspect of the human body, the time of food consumption is equally important like the thing someone had consumed, Taylor added. Skipping the morning meal triggers the risk of heart attacks in a good percentage of the people, Daily Mail reports.

The review also points out that people who regularly had healthy breakfast have less chance to increase the calorie later in the day. In short, people have enough time to burn calorie before the sleep. But this point of view is applicable only to the people who limited their frequent snacks and controlled rest of meals.

The study also reveals that breakfast is the main meal of the day and needs to consume 300 to 500 calories for a lady and 375 to 625 for a man. The experts also indicate that a person should take 15 to 25 percent of energy from the breakfast for the day. 

"Many people find that emotions can trigger eating episodes when they are not hungry, which often leads to eating too many calories from foods that have low nutritional value," Professor Marie-Pierre at Columbia University says.
