In October 2014, self-assessed questionnaires were administered to over 150 faculty students. It contained questions about breakfast habits, time allowance for the morning class, and lunchtime setting in their high school timetable. Breakfast states were clearly separated in three groups : 68% of students regularly have breakfast throughout the weekdays, 21% students skipping the breakfast occasionally, and 11% student no habit for breakfast at all. The survey on the high school lives revealed that 70% students used to have lunch 30 min later than the lunchtime set in the university timetable, 7% of them had the lunch time even more than 1 h later. Lunchtime varies among high schools, and statistical significance was revealed (p<0.01) that schools with higher deviation scores tend have late lunch beyond 12: 30. Accordingly, university students were given directions to prepare for the timetable reform on postulation of having lunch time over one ofclock. After continuous survey on the breakfast habits during the second semester, more than 90% of students established the habit of breakfast regularly in their university lives with the improved consciousness toward well-balanced healthy breakfast contents for their higher level of education quality. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TamuraT. en-aut-sei=Tamura en-aut-mei=T. kn-aut-name=“c‘º—² kn-aut-sei=“c‘º kn-aut-mei=—² aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=IbiT. en-aut-sei=Ibi en-aut-mei=T. kn-aut-name=—K”ã—²”V kn-aut-sei=—K”ã kn-aut-mei=—²”V aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=InagakiK. en-aut-sei=Inagaki en-aut-mei=K. kn-aut-name=ˆîŠ_Œ«“ñ kn-aut-sei=ˆîŠ_ kn-aut-mei=Œ«“ñ aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=KuboY. en-aut-sei=Kubo en-aut-mei=Y. kn-aut-name=‹v•ÛN—² kn-aut-sei=‹v•Û kn-aut-mei=N—² aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=OkudaK. en-aut-sei=Okuda en-aut-mei=K. kn-aut-name=‰œ“cŒ‰ kn-aut-sei=‰œ“c kn-aut-mei=Œ‰ aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠw‹³–±FD ˆÏˆõ‰ï affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠw‹³–±FD ˆÏˆõ‰ï affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠw‹³–±FD ˆÏˆõ‰ï affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠw‹³–±FD ˆÏˆõ‰ï affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠw‹³–±FD ˆÏˆõ‰ï en-keyword=Undernourished students kn-keyword=Undernourished students en-keyword=breakfast kn-keyword=breakfast en-keyword=lunchtime kn-keyword=lunchtime en-keyword=statistical significance kn-keyword=statistical significance END
