the University of Toronto set up a “nibbling study” The study tested the possibility of keeping digestion constant and even The subjects who ate 5-6 small meals rather than 3 big meals felt better

Speeds up metabolismSpeeds up metabolism
Metabolism is like a “fat-burning machine” No food in stomach causes it to shut off Infrequent eating sends body into fasting
mode Metabolism slows down When you do eat less calories are burned

Controlling Binges and CravingsControlling Binges and Cravings
Research shows that, due to hypoglycemia, it is more likely for one to overeat following infrequent eating It takes 20 minutes for your brain to register
that you’re full
Ones metabolism is not ready to burn all the food consumed during binges after being shut off for a while

Eating frequently keeps insulin levels stable No carbohydrates in the body causes insulin levels
to drop drastically Large amounts of carbohydrates in the body
causes spikes in insulin levels Spiking insulin levels causes high energy levels
and then a quick crash followed by feelings of tiredness, and sugar cravings

Eating More Than 3 Meals a DayEating More Than 3 Meals a Day
You need food at regular intervals in order to stay energized, avoid overeating, and control weight
The break between lunch during the school day and the next available time to eat at home causes glucose levels to drop
Low glucose levels lead to low energy 5-6 smaller meals a day which keeps your metabolism
and energy going The most efficient way to deal with hunger and appetite
is to obey your body’s natural cues

“I felt I had enough to do with preparing for
teaching that to have breakfast in my classroom would just be extra work and a
big mess,” the teacher explained. “But I
found that I barely have to do any work at all,
and the kids are so much better behaved that
my lessons go much smoother. I would want to tell other teachers that it may seem like
a hassle, but it really is minimal work
with a lot of positive payoffs.…I would be upset now if they took the
breakfast program away.”

Cold & flu are spread through contact. Having utensils in bins = susceptible to germs
Get dispensers for utensils would help to prevent the spread of illness.
Install sensored hand sanitizer dispensers around schoolInstall sensored bathroom utilities
More than 160+ million school days are lost due to illness.Greatly decrease if kids washed their hands.
