Poor performance:  Meal skippers usually have poorer physical and mental performance.

Weight Management:  Eating regular meals rather than skipping actually helps maintain a healthy body weight.

More Nutrients:  Meal skippers usually get less nutrients into their day- especially when breakfast is skipped!
