We’ve all heard it – the idea that eating a hearty breakfast will lead to decreased caloric consumption throughout the day, which results in eventual weight loss. But, according to researchers at the University of Munich, this is only a myth.
After following 400 subjects – divided into groups that ate large and small breakfasts and those who skipped breakfast entirely – the scientists found that people who ate a big breakfasts, on average 400 calories more than a small one, consumed around 400 more calories in a day.
What does this mean? People ate the same as they would regardless of what they had for breakfast, therefore those who ate larger breakfasts consumed more overall calories per day. Some theorize that those who make time for breakfast tend to eat an overall healthier diet and consume less (generally unhealthy) snacks the remainder of the day.
