Counseling is carried out to improve a person's behavior with messages conveyed through print media (posters) the aim is to change students' breakfast habits. In order to observe students' breakfast habits, this research used a pre-experimental study with a one group pretest posttest design. A total of 40 children participated in the study at SDN 155 Gresik in grades 4 and 5, using the proportional random sampling method. The average knowledge score before and after counseling was 61.35 78.50. Breakfast behaviors were graded on a scale from 75.58 to 81.55 before and after counseling. According to the study's findings utilizing the paired t-test, balanced nutrition counseling through poster media had an impact on understanding of balanced nutrition (p 0.05), but had no impact on breakfast behaviors (p > 0.05). It is preferable to implement balanced nutrition advice, and one of them is establishing a breakfast routine because it can stimulate the brain and aid in concentration and focus while learning.
