Welcome to The Breakfast Panel - help and advice on the best way to start your day

There’s no doubt about the benefits of eating breakfast every day yet up to one third of us regularly skip this important meal with up to 40% of teenagers and one in six children doing the same.

The Breakfast Panel is a new, independent panel which can answer your questions about the benefits of breakfast. The Panel brings together doctors, dietitians, academics and researchers to promote the benefits of eating breakfast and help the nation start the day in the best possible way.

The Panel provides independent and objective information about the important role of breakfast.
