Introduction and contextIntroductionAlmost two out of three adults are obese or overweight and more than half of young children are not active enough to have a potential risk of obesity (King, 2013). Obesity has already become one of the most significant public health problems worldwide. The research stated that obesity could lead to numerous risks of premature mortality and numerous chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, osteoarthritis, coronary heart disease, hypertension and reduced life expectancy, and could influence the social and psychological state of an individual. People suffering from obesity are also more likely to experience prejudice, discrimination and reduced quality of life (King, 2013). Numerous strategies have been proposed to manage obesity. Energy intake plays a key role in managing obesity and weight loss. Some people choose to eat one or two meals a day, which may not be a healthy way to lose weight. It is often said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Eating a good breakfast can reduce the total energy, carbohydrates and fats ingested over the course of a long day, which, if you eat a healthy enough breakfast, can help change the portion size you eat at lunch and dinner to reduce calories (De Castro, 2007). . Some researchers have argued that increasing breakfast consumption could help people lose weight more easily than those who do not eat breakfast (Schusdziarra et al., 2011). Choosing what type of breakfast to consume is important when people want to have access to weight management. Vander et al.
