A breakfast of eggs, bacon and sausage could keep hunger pangs at bay
Eating a protein-filled breakfast could be the answer to weight loss, according to new research.
A new study reveals that a meal high in protein instead of carbohydrates or fibre for breakfast could help stave off hunger pangs later in the day.
Eating eggs, sausages or bacon for breakfast could therefore help you to eat less during the day, meaning weight loss. This research suggests avoiding breakfasts of fruit and low-fat cereals.
The experiment, conducted at the University of Missouri on a group of 18-55 year olf women showed that a high-protein breakfast kept them fuller longer than a meal with less protein but the same amount of fat and fibre.
The team, led by research scientist Dr Kevin Maki, found eating between around 35 grams of protein for breakfast - the equivalent to a four-egg omelette or two sausages and a rasher of bacon - helped regulate appetite.
He told the Mail Online: 'Eating a breakfast rich in protein significantly improves appetite control and may help women to avoid overeating later in the day.’
Maybe it’s time to switch it up and try a protein-filled breakfast instead.
