One in 20 teenage pupils goes to school on a can of energy drink instead of a good breakfast, a survey suggests.
A third of UK teenagers eat unhealthy breakfasts such as fry-ups or crisps, the poll of 2,000 youngsters aged between 12 and 18 suggests.
Four out of 10 skip breakfast altogether to lose weight, the poll for the Make Mine Milk campaign suggests.
Brian Lightman, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said the results were a worry.
He said pupils breakfasting on energy drinks, which are not usually recommended for children, was something he had seen as a head teacher.
