Breakfast: In a 5-Paragraph Persuasive Essay, ACT Style

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It’s the perfect thing to wake-up to after a long, hard night of sleep. It is important because it tastes absolutely delicious, it’s an important source of energy for the day, and it helps with weight loss.

Breakfast is by far the tastiest meal. Why? Because people can eat anything for breakfast. From a simple bowl of cereal to a filet mignon, it can all be done. Unlike dinner, breakfast can be sweet or salty. Of course breakfast CAN be eaten for dinner, but it just isn’t the same.

Unknown to many people, breakfast can actually help people lose weight! (As long as the breakfast is healthy, that is.) One theory of why it helps with weight loss is that breakfast reduces hunger throughout the day, so people are less likely to constantly be eating. Also many breakfast foods that people eat such as eggs or fruit are healthy foods.

Take mom’s advice and eat your breakfast. The pros most definitely outweigh the cons. People often say that they never have time for breakfast, but even a banana or energy bar on the go will help. Just do it.
