Results indicated that 65% of respondents believed their feeding habits influenced their Biology performance, while 20% reported noticing an improvement in understanding the subject when they ate well. However, a majority (55%) stated they did not experience noticeable changes, highlighting mixed perceptions of the feeding–performance link.
