The percentage spending less than 10 minutes on breakfast was quite high (26%), and 13% did not care about breakfast time, with only 8.3% spending more than 20 minutes. A small percentage (3.3%) still considered breakfast unnecessary.

Maintaining a diet with three meals a day, especially breakfast, is extremely important for improving nutrition.
