Study: Big Breakfast Does Not Reduce Daily Calorie Consumption
January 17/Munich, Germany/Press Association Mediapoint -- Dieters who enjoy a hearty breakfast are just as likely to have a big lunch and dinner as those who keep it small, new research suggests.
The idea that a large breakfast helps people consume fewer calories for the rest of the day is a myth, according to experts. Writing in the Nutrition Journal, researchers from the University of Munich examined the eating habits of almost 400 obese and normal weight people. Some always had a big breakfast; others ate a small one, and some skipped the meal altogether.
