Breakfast is the most important meal of the day as it helps us stay energetic and awake the whole day.
According to our source, a study conducted by University of Missouri Assistant Professor Heather Leidy found that overweight adolescent females control their appetites better when they eat a high-protein breakfast.
The study was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The participants who are overweight or obese females ages 18- 20, either ate no breakfast, ate low-protein cereals for breakfast, or ate breakfasts containing 35 grams of protein. After completed a series of test including surveys, blood tests and brain scanning, the study found the participants who ate the high-protein breakfasts consumed less high-fat and high-sugar snack in the evening as the food craving has decreased.
As many people tend to skip breakfast, Leidy suggests that eating the protein-rich food in the morning can be an effective weight control strategy for young people.
Oh, this is definitely a good news and we are loving this new finding because that means more egg benedicts for breakfast!
