Breakfast sets the tone for your whole day. If you eat bad food at the start of the day then you are more likely to continue that pattern of eating for the remainder. Eating high sugar, low protein foods at this time of day can send you reaching for sweet, high carb foods all day long. Plan for success and the pounds will melt away.
