This study will test whether whether the implementation of 'Breakfast in the Classroom'
improves school breakfast participation and breakfast consumption in middle school
adolescents; whether the implementation of 'Breakfast in the Classroom' improves appetite
control, mood, cognitive performance, and unhealthy snacking behavior in middle school
adolescents; and whether the implementation of a novel 'Higher Protein, 'Egg-cellent'
Breakfast in the Classroom' leads to additional improvements.

The investigators propose an 8-week parallel design breakfast study in children enrolled in
6-8th grade within the Center School District in the Kansas City, Missouri. This school will
begin their 'Breakfast in the Classroom' program on March 26, 2018. Prior to the start of
'Breakfast in the Classroom', baseline data will be collected on the students who wish to
participate in the study. Baseline data includes anthropometric assessments; demographics;
current eating habits; cognitive performance; appetite; and mood. Following baseline, the
students will be provided 1 of 2 breakfasts for 8-weeks: 'Breakfast in the Classroom' or the
'Egg-cellent Breakfast in the Classroom.' At 4 weeks, the study participants will complete a
sub-set of baseline outcomes. At the end of the 8-week period, similar outcomes (to that of
baseline) will be completed.
