he study obtained the results from the responses of the college
faculty in the University of the Immaculate Conception (UIC),

he study involved ninety three (93) high school students of the
University of the Immaculate Conception. Through random

evaluate their breakfast eating habits. They were also assessed using
anthropometry involving heights and weights to determine their
nutritional status using Body Mass Index (BMI) formula. The study
