Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is designed to test how breakfast affects brain function, memory and learning in healthy children.

Hypotheses: Based on the results of our initial study and the relevant literature, it is hypothesized that arousal, attention, and performance will be:

1. Greater in those who eat breakfast relative to those who do not;
2. Greater in lean than in overweight children receiving the higher protein breakfast;
3. Greater in fasting lean than fasting overweight children; and
4. Improved following a morning snack in all study groups.
5. Poorer in children with higher stress-related measures (e.g., higher cortisol levels).
6. Heart rate will be lower in fasting relative to fed participants, and across groups will be higher in overweight children.
