Synopsis
The purpose of the study was to determine if caffeinated beverages were replacing breakfast meals among UW-Stout undergraduate students. Data were collected through an online Qualtrics survey. There were 16 questions pertaining to estimated frequencies and percentages of breakfast intake, food groups students chose to consume for breakfast meals, factors affecting breakfast consumption, the caffeinated beverages consumed, and whether breakfast was being replace with caffeinated beverages. Results from the study indicate that grains (83%) were the most consumed food group at breakfast meals, followed by dairy (68%), fruit (57%), protein (52%), and vegetable (8%). The most commonly consumed caffeinated beverage included coffee (41%), followed by soda and energy drinks (19%), and tea (15%). Influences for students' breakfast consumption indicated |time| to be the largest factor (81%), followed by |convenience| (69%), |taste preference| (59%), and |health| (57%). Overall the study found 60% of the students consumed breakfast meals four to seven days a week. Only one percent replaced breakfast with caffeinated beverages 6-7 times per week and 2% four to five times a week. Thus, it was concluded UWStout students are not replacing breakfast with caffeinated beverages to any great extent.
