“…The low national average consumption of monounsaturated fatty acids in breakfast meals is not considered a relevant aspect, since the food sources of such nutrients [6], except avocado, are not commonly consumed in Brazilian breakfast. In the present study, participants consumed adequate amounts of saturated fat for breakfast.…”

“…Breakfast became important during the industrial revolution as a meal consumed before going to work [2,3], and it has long been described as the most important meal of the day [4]. However, in Brazil, among the three main large meals, breakfast presently tends to be the most impaired meal from the standpoint of consumption [5,6,7]. This feeding behavior is inadequate for human health since there is evidence that breakfast consumption leads to higher nutrient intake and a healthier diet [3,8].…”

“…According to some authors [11,12,13,14], a good breakfast should include foods from at least three of the basic groups: dairy, cereals, and fruits; diversifying the consumed food is not only important nutritionally, but it allows breakfast to be more desirable and appetizing. In Brazil, the most frequent breakfast food composition has been pure coffee or milk with coffee, and bread with butter or margarine, and fruit consumption is rare [6]. The last Brazilian Dietary Guideline does not recommend specific quantities of food or nutrients at breakfast; it recommends, according to Brazilian habits, the consumption of natural or minimally processed foods, such as fruits, coffee and milk, and culinary preparations based on cereals, roots, or tubers [15].…”

Objective: This study aimed to characterize the nutritional quality of breakfast consumed by the low-income Brazilian population. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 1547 low-income individuals attending 36 Community Restaurants (CRs) in Brazil. Food consumption was analyzed by the frequency of food groups presented in the 24 h recall for three days. The nutritional consumption consisted of the analysis of the total energetic value (TEV) and the macronutrients, fibers, monounsaturated fatty acids, saturated fatty acids, trans fatty acids, calcium, and sodium. The nutrients were evaluated considering the percentage of contribution concerning the daily recommendation of consumption. Results: Among the 4641 breakfasts expected to be consumed and reported, 17.2% (n = 797) of the consumers did not consume breakfast. Therefore, we analyzed the 3844 breakfasts. The analysis of food groups showed a high consumption of dairy and cereals, and low consumption of fruits, roots/tubers, and meat/eggs. The percentages of energy contribution of the macronutrients in the TEV were adequate for a balanced diet. The mean intake of monounsaturated fatty acids was low, and the contribution percentages of saturated fatty acids and trans fatty acids were within the recommendations. The mean fiber intake of the breakfast was low, agreeing with the result of low fruit consumption. Calcium intake covered 73.49% of that expected for this meal, and sodium intake was adequate in breakfast. Conclusion: The individuals studied consumed a nutritionally balanced breakfast. Although dairy was one of the most consumed groups, calcium consumption was low, indicating the need to consume higher portions of food sources of this nutrient.

“…The increased number of daily meals and frequency of breakfast per week acts as a protective factor against obesity, due to the ingestion of smaller portions of food and consequently lower caloric content; it is associated with a better distribution of meals and other healthy behaviors, such as the consumption of dairy products, vegetables and whole grains 22,23 .…”

Objective: To assess the effectiveness of nutritional intervention in overweight women undergoing Primary Health Care.Methods: An intervention study was conducted with overweight adult and elderly women aged 20 years or older (body mass index ≥25.0 kg/m² and ≥27.0 kg/m², respectively) who were subjected to 12 months of individual nutritional monitoring. The effectiveness of the intervention was assessed by dietary, health, and anthropometric indicators.Results: Most of the 71 individuals were adults with a low income and poor level of education. After the intervention, there was an increase in number of meals and in the frequency of breakfasting. Moreover, there were more fruits and vegetables consumed, in addition to a decrease in household availability of salt, sugar, oil, and fried foods consumption. An improvement in health and weight self-perception was observed, as well as a decrease in body mass and abdominal adiposity, in particular among those participating in several consultations (n >9).Conclusion: The proposed nutritional intervention was effective and viable for improving the care of overweight individuals and those suffering from destabilized comorbidities, and may be extended to other contexts.

“…O hábito de tomar café da manhã frequentemente foi altamente associado com o consumo de alimentos apropriados e nutritivos, os quais têm uma repercussão positiva no peso corporal 49 . Também está associado com efeitos positivos na saúde, como aumento de saciedade, menor consumo energético diário, melhor controle da glicemia, menores riscos de obesidade e gordura visceral e menores riscos de comorbidades relacionadas ao peso: hipertensão, diabetes e doenças cardiovasculares 50 . O consumo adequado do café da manhã parece, também, auxiliar no controle de peso.…”

Objetivo: Avaliar o estado nutricional e o consumo dos macro e micronutrientes em mulheres de um programa de extensão.Materiais e Métodos: Estudo transversal que foi realizado com mulheres ≥50 anos. As variáveis analisadas foram: sociodemográficas, antropométricas e consumo alimentar. Correlacionou-se o estado nutricional com o consumo alimentar.Resultados: A partir das 176 mulheres, verificou-se que a média de idade foi 63,2 anos (±7,4). A predominância do nível de escolaridade foi médio completo ou mais (58,5%), excesso de peso (52,3%) e risco muito aumentado para Doenças Cardio Vasculares (DCV) pela Circunferência Abdominal (CA) em 78,4%. A média do consumo de macronutrientes ficou em 57,7% para carboidrato, 17,2% para proteína e 25% para lipídeos. Na correlação entre Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) com CA, dados demográficos e consumo alimentar, houve associação positiva significativa entre IMC e CA (p<0,001). Também houve associação negativa significativa entre IMC com nível de escolaridade (p=0,041), calorias do café da manhã (p=0,040) e fibras (p=0,008). Já na análise de correlação entre CA com dados demográficos e consumo alimentar, houve associação positiva significativa entre CA com idade (p=0,039) e proteínas, (p=0,011). Também houve associação negativa significativa entre CA com nível de escolaridade (p=0,005) e fibras (p=0,007).Conclusão: Encontrou-se uma elevada prevalência de excesso de peso e a CA como fator de risco para DCV. Correlações entre o estado nutricional e o consumo alimentar também foram demonstradas. A educação nutricional é fundamental para que as mulheres possam adequar a sua alimentação e, consequentemente, melhorar seu estado nutricional.
