I know so many people who do not take breakfast seriously, like it's not even a real meal. Or skipping it will result in some major weight loss. Or they just grab a bite of toast in the morning. If this is you, the results of a new study should have you re-thinking that! A study published in the International Journal of Obesity found that eating a boat load of protein in the morning can help you consume up to 400 fewer calories during the day and burn more fat over time! How much protein is a boat load you ask? The overweight young adults in the study who experienced the weight loss ate a breakfast of 350 calories with 35 grams of protein (or equivalent of six eggs!) for 12 weeks. The others ate an average breakfast with about 13 grams of protein or they had no breakfast at all. The low protein group did not see weight loss results. In fact, they ate 400 more calories a day, experienced more hunger and gained more body fat. Do you or does someone you care about need to lose weight?

So, what's the scientific reason for the weight loss? Improved glycemic control, according to Heather Leidy, PhD, study author and assistant professor in the department of nutrition and exercise physiology at the University of Missouri. In simple terms, the protein group had more stable blood sugar levels which reduces the desire to eat and improves body composition. So, 35 grams is a LOT of protein. But, Leidy says, that for non-obese individuals, 24-30 grams will have a similar effect. Wondering how in the world you will be able to consume that much protien in the morning?
