ABSTRACT: This study aims to know the impact of irregular meal intake on the academic
performance level of Grade 11 Senior Hugh School Students of Laguna State Polytechnic
needed for the research was gathered, that is composed of 3 parts with 30 questions. The
respondents were 50 random students from Grade 11 Senior high school students of Laguna
After collecting, analyzing and interpreting the results that came from the survey
questionnaires, taking note of different related studies, reference books and articles. The
research findings the study indicates that there is no significant relationship between the
irregular meal intake of the respondents. The research findings also denotes that there is no
significant relationship between the profile of the respondents and their academic
performances. The results of the study could be used as an important baseline for future
breakfast and doing well in school. Researchers further suggest that regular meal intake,
specifically breakfast can have a significant impact upon the grade obtained in a
standardized test. This type of research has played an important role in providing evidence
that supports the need for school lunch and breakfast programs. The importance of eating
a good breakfast does not end after adolescence, but is an essential part of a healthy life
style. However, much of the research has been focused on public school students, ranging
from pre-K up to high school. Schools provide nutritious food throughout the day,
including breakfast, lunch, snacks, and after school. School seek to help meet students’
nutritional needs. Research suggests that participation in breakfast programs plays a role
Fewer studies have focused on Senior High School students and the effect of
breakfast may have had on their performance. Some of the studies that have examined this
segment of the population have measured glucose levels and performance of Senior High
School students on memory. This research has consistently agreed with earlier research
that breakfast does play a crucial role in performance. This longitudinal study intends to
add to the body of knowledge on the relationship between academic performance and Meal
intake of Senior High School students who ate breakfast every day.

Research Paradigm showing the independent and dependent variables of the study.
Independent variables consist of profile of the students and the irregular meal
intake factors while dependent variable consist of academic performance in terms of
general average of students for 1st semester.
The purpose of the study is to determine the irregular meal intake and its impact
in academic performance of senior high school students.
There is no significant relationship between the profile of the respondents and their
academic performance.
There is no significant relationship between the irregular meal intake factors and their
academic performances.
The limitation of study were grade eleven senior high school students of Laguna State
Polytechnic University – San Pablo City Campus A.Y. 2018-2019. It also focuses in a
given group as a limited questions and information that makes sure to have exact details
that are needed for the study. The study will be conducted within a random of 50 shs
students.

Male Female
The figure above shows the distribution of respondents according to their gender
wherein 74% are female and 26% are males.
Table 1.1 Perception of the respondents towards irregular meal intake factors in terms
of dietary behavior.
Table 1.2 shows that only 2% of the respondents are in 90 and above
(advanced proficiency). In 85-89 (Proficient) there is only 12 percent of the respondent.
In 80-84 (approaching proficiency) there is 8% of the respondent. 34% on 75-79
(developing) and 44% for 74 and below (beginning).
Table 4 shows that the Dietary Behavior is not significant to the academic
performance of the respondents and shows that the Knowledge in Nutrition is significant
to the academic performance of the respondents.
4. Conclusion
On the basis of the significant findings of the study, the following conclusion are posited:
1. The hypothesis stating that there is no significant relationship between the profile of the
respondents and their academic performances sustained.
2. The hypothesis stating that there is no significant relationship between the irregular meal
intake of the respondents is sustained.
This study manifest the significance of having an irregular meal intake and its impact
in academic performances of grade 11 students in LSPU-SPCC. The following recommendation
is to amend school adherence regarding with the student’s regular meal intake and its effect with
their academic performances base on the result of this study.
1. Educate the school administration and students regarding with their regular meal
intake
2. Enlighten the parents and the students to have a good time management towards
