Starting the day by eating a wholesome, nutritious morning meal rich in proteins not only gives your body a kick-start that energizes you for the day ahead but also increases satiety and prevents overeating, claims a new study.
According to researchers, people who skip breakfast are more prone to nibble on high-calorie snacks during the day to stave off hunger which in turn increases the odds of obesity.
Lead author of the study, Heather Leidy, assistant professor in the Department of Nutrition and Exercise Physiology at the University of Missouri stated, "Everyone knows that eating breakfast is important, but many people still don't make it a priority.
"This research provides additional evidence that breakfast is a valuable strategy to control appetite and regulate food intake."
