The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend

that people “eat a nutrient-dense breakfast” based on the

evidence supporting the role of breakfast in healthy eating

patterns. There is no science-based definition for a nutritious

“breakfast.” Join a discussion by nutrition experts that probes

what constitutes a complete, nutritious breakfast. They share

their considerations and seek input in developing a definition

that improves the quality of breakfast meals and public

health. Speakers will also share new resources to help define

and translate a complete, nutritious breakfast for consum

ers,

including special populations and unique venues such as

schools.
