Breakfast is often regarded as “the most important meal of the day” but there is limited reporting of the foods/beverages currently constituting a typical breakfast. This study investigated current breakfast habits of Australian men. Men aged 18-44y were recruited from metropolitan and regional NSW Australia and completed an online survey investigating breakfast consumption habits and other lifestyle parameters including demographic characteristics and waking habits. 112 men participated. Most (83.5%) ate breakfast ≥5 times/week and consumed this meal before 8 am (84.0%). Breakfast for habitual breakfast eaters consisted of one or more of the following foods or beverages eaten ≥5 times/week: breakfast cereal (50.0%), milk for cereal (51.1%), fruit (28.7%), toast (13.8%), spreads (11.7%), yogurt (12.8%), and/or coffee (40.4%). Breakfast may also include the following foods 1–4 times/week: eggs (58.5%), bacon (30.9%), juice (19.1%), and/or tea (17.0%). A majority of Australian men younger than 45 years old were found to eat breakfast most days of the week. Cereal, milk and fruit were the most common foods consumed for breakfast. Breakfast is considered to be an important meal among health professionals and we found a majority of Australian men do eat breakfast regularly. Approximately half of the young men in the study reported consuming cereal and milk for breakfast most of the time, a breakfast option that is linked to higher daily wholegrain, fibre and micro-nutrient intakes.

参与“典型澳大利亚人”研究的澳大利亚男性的早餐消费习惯

早餐通常被认为是“一天中最重要的一餐”，但目前构成典型早餐的食物/饮料的报道有限。这项研究调查了澳大利亚男性目前的早餐习惯。从澳大利亚新南威尔士州大都市和地区招募 18-44 岁的男性，并完成了一项在线调查，调查早餐消费习惯和其他生活方式参数，包括人口特征和起床习惯。112人参加。大多数 (83.5%) 每周吃早餐 ≥5 次，并在上午 8 点之前吃完这顿饭 (84.0%)。习惯性早餐者的早餐包括以下一种或多种食物或饮料每周食用≥5次：早餐麦片（50.0％），麦片牛奶（51.1％），水果（28.7％），吐司（13.8％），涂抹酱（11.7%）、酸奶（12.8%）和/或咖啡（40.4%）。早餐还可能包括以下食物，每周 1-4 次：鸡蛋 (58.5%)、培根 (30.9%)、果汁 (19.1%) 和/或茶 (17.0%)。发现大多数 45 岁以下的澳大利亚男性在一周的大部分时间都吃早餐。谷物、牛奶和水果是早餐最常见的食物。早餐被认为是健康专业人士的重要一餐，我们发现大多数澳大利亚男性确实定期吃早餐。研究中大约一半的年轻男性报告说，大部分时间早餐都吃谷类食品和牛奶，这种早餐选择与每日更高的全谷物、纤维和微量营养素摄入量有关。发现大多数 45 岁以下的澳大利亚男性在一周的大部分时间都吃早餐。谷物、牛奶和水果是早餐最常见的食物。早餐被认为是健康专业人士的重要一餐，我们发现大多数澳大利亚男性确实定期吃早餐。研究中大约一半的年轻男性报告说，大部分时间早餐都吃谷类食品和牛奶，这种早餐选择与每日更高的全谷物、纤维和微量营养素摄入量有关。发现大多数 45 岁以下的澳大利亚男性在一周的大部分时间都吃早餐。谷物、牛奶和水果是早餐最常见的食物。早餐被认为是健康专业人士的重要一餐，我们发现大多数澳大利亚男性确实定期吃早餐。研究中大约一半的年轻男性报告说，大部分时间早餐都吃谷类食品和牛奶，这种早餐选择与每日更高的全谷物、纤维和微量营养素摄入量有关。
