So true. I was definitely guilty of this as a teen. Eating breakfast is an important way to 'trick' our metabolism into burning calories more efficiently (among other things). Here are a few others courtesy of The Today Show.
Getting Enough B Vitamins;
Getting Enough Magnesium;
Smart Snacking;
Speed Play;
Strength Training;
Eating Enough Calories
