Breakfast is healthy, right? Of course it is! But, be careful--researchers warn that if you approach your breakfast this way, you may have trouble losing weight and keeping it off...
We've all heard the news that breakfast eaters are more likely to lose weight and keep it off than non-breakfast eaters. But, that doesn't mean to go crazy on portion sizes in the morning, say researchers in Germany. A big breakfast may backfire.
They found that people who ate larger breakfasts didn't experience any greater energy level or a so-called hunger-blunting affect throughout the day compared to those who ate light breakfasts. And, the bigger breakfast eaters consumed 400+ more calories each day.
The bottom line for weight loss: Breakfast is healthy, but make sure you're eating some lean protein and whole grains, and try to keep your morning meal under 400 calories (tops).
Do you tend to eat lighter breakfasts or fall into the big-breakfast trap?
