The previous claim that a big breakfast in the morning means fewer calories during the day turns out to be a myth. People who have a hearty morning meal, an average of 400 calories more than a small breakfast, consume about 400 calories more per day.
The previous claim that a hearty breakfast in the morning meant fewer calories during the day turned out to be a myth, according to researchers in Germany. The study, published in the National Journal, shows that people eat the same amount of food at lunch and dinner.
Researchers suggest that reducing calories at breakfast could help people lose weight. The British Diet Association states that breakfast is important for a balanced diet.
Starting the day with an energetic diet is often associated with weight loss. The team from the University of Munich observed nearly 400 people in 2 weeks. Patients keep a diary of what they eat, at what time, and how many calories the food they eat contains.
Some participants eat large snacks, others small ones, and some miss this meal. People who have a hearty morning meal, an average of 400 calories more than a small breakfast, consume about 400 calories more per day.
Experts still say that breakfast plays an important role. Sian Porter, a spokesman for the British Diet Association, said it had been shown that people who ate breakfast in the morning had a more balanced diet than those who skipped that meal.
Regular breakfasts are less likely to be overweight, lose weight more successfully, and also reduce the risk of certain diseases. Skipping breakfast can lead to eating junk food later in the morning.
