O café da manhã é uma das três principais refeições do dia, mas, apesar da sua importância para a saúde, a diminuição do seu consumo é uma modificação importante no comportamento alimentar atual. Neste estudo, reflete-se sobre a caracterização dessa refeição e a implicação de seu consumo para a saúde; discutem-se, também, sua importância e as recomendações de consumo. Após revisão de artigos e respectivas contribuições científicas em bases de dados da área, pode-se afirmar que o café da manhã, objeto desta comunicação, é ainda bastante carente de pesquisas na literatura científica. Contudo, evidências científicas associam o consumo habitual de café da manhã a baixo risco de sobrepeso e obesidade, bem como melhoria na capacidade de aprendizagem. Estudos identificam que o perfil dos consumidores frequentes dessa refeição é de não fumantes que praticam atividade física, que controlam o peso e que não fazem uso frequente de álcool. Os autores pesquisados sugerem, assim, uma relação positiva entre o consumo de café da manhã e um estilo de vida saudável, justificando a recomendação de programas de incentivo ao seu consumo.

“…Although attitudes do not always reflect behaviour (Petty et al, 1997;Conner and Armitage, 1998), several studies have found children's attitudes towards breakfast to be predictive of their breakfast-eating behaviours. Specifically, Unsan et al (2006) found that among Turkish and German 9-10-year-olds, positive attitudes towards the benefits of eating breakfast were positively associated with breakfast consumption. In a Dutch sample of 12-14-yearolds, Martens et al (2005) found that a more positive attitude towards breakfast was associated with more frequent breakfast consumption.…”

Objective: Development and validation of a questionnaire to measure children's attitudes towards breakfast. Design: A pilot study was used to select questionnaire items and assess test-retest reliability. The questionnaire was then administered to a larger sample of children together with a dietary recall questionnaire. Randomly selected subsets of these children also completed a dietary recall interview or their parents were asked to complete a questionnaire relating to their child's breakfast eating habits. Setting: Primary schools in south, west and north Wales, UK. Subjects: A total of 2495 children (199 in pilot testing, 2382 in the main study) in years 5 and 6 (aged 9-11 years). Results: The 13-item scale showed good construct validity, high internal reliability and acceptable test-retest reliability. Boys displayed more positive attitudes towards breakfast than girls but differences between the two age groups did not reach statistical significance. Children who did not skip breakfast displayed more positive attitudes than children who skipped breakfast. In addition, more positive attitudes towards breakfast were significantly correlated with consumption of a greater number of 'healthy' foods for breakfast (i.e., fruit, bread, cereal, milk products), consumption of fewer 'unhealthy' foods for breakfast (i.e., sweet items, crisps) and parental perceptions that their child usually ate a healthy breakfast. Conclusions: The breakfast attitudes questionnaire is a robust measure that is relatively quick to administer and simple to score. These qualities make it ideal for use where validity at the individual level is important or where more time-consuming dietary measures are not feasible. Development of a scale to measure 9-11-year-olds' attitudes towards breakfast Breakfast consumption is associated with a range of benefits. Laboratory research shows that consumption of an adequate breakfast is linked to short-term improvements in attention (Wesnes et al

“…Reasons given for skipping breakfast include lack of time and late rising (5) , lack of motivation to prepare breakfast (6) , desire to lose weight (7) , lack of appetite (8) , feeling nauseated or weak and tired (9) , and smoking (which can suppress appetite in the morning (10) ).…”

Objective: To experimentally compare the effects of eating or skipping breakfast on energy expenditure, activity levels and dietary habits. Design: A randomised cross-over trial, lasting 2 weeks. Participants were provided breakfast during one week and were required to fast until mid-day during the other week. Setting: University campus. Subjects: Forty-nine participants (twenty-six female and twenty-three male participants) were recruited. Food intake was monitored using food diaries, and energy expenditure was assessed using pedometers and heart rate monitors. Morningness-eveningness, physical activity and health were assessed using validated questionnaires. Results: Across all participants, daily energy expenditure did not differ between the two experimental conditions. Total energy intake over 24 h did not vary with condition (male participants: 8134 (SD 447) kJ/d and 7514 (SD 368) kJ/d; female participants: 7778 (SD 410) kJ/d and 7531 (SD 535) kJ/d, for the breakfast and no-breakfast conditions, respectively). However, when comparing habitual breakfast eaters with those with irregular or breakfast-skipping habits, it was found that male non-habitual breakfast eaters consumed significantly (P 5 0?029) more energy during the breakfast condition. Furthermore, female participants who were habitual breakfast eaters were found to eat significantly (P 5 0?005) more and later in the day under the no-breakfast condition. Conclusions: Although the suggestion that breakfast is a behavioural marker for appropriate dietary and physical activity patterns is not refuted by the present findings, our data suggest that the effect of breakfast may vary as a function of gender and morning eating habits, and thus there may be other mechanisms that link BMI and breakfast consumption behaviour.
