Abstract

: Meal patterns have received less attention because studies rarely collect data on time of consumption. Food consumed
in the morning may be more satiating and this may provide a plausible mechanism for effects of breakfast on body weight.
Most of the young adults skip meals including breakfast which can therefore lead to malnutrition, if they are not educated
properly on the importance of adequate food and nutrients intake. Therefore, the study was aimed with the objective to improve
the Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) of the young adults on breakfast consumption. Nutrition education is “any
combination of educational strategies designed to facilitate voluntary adoption of food choices and other food and nutrition
related behaviors conducive to health and well-being; it is delivered through multiple venues and involves activities at the
individual, community, and policy levels. A total of 50 young adults were selected as samples from Coimbatore, India. They were
given nutrition education on food groups, nutritional requirements of adolescents and young adults, health benefits of breakfast
consumption and adverse effects of skipping breakfast. The impact of nutrition education on the young adults was evaluated using
the scores obtained with KAP questionnaire. The results showed a significant impact on KAP of young adult students on
breakfast consumption.
