The High-Protein Breakfast Edge
Very recently, a study recommended eggs for breakfast for those who want to lose weight. Now new research from Purdue University backs those findings with a broader protein perspective. The lead author put it this way, "There is a growing body of research which supports eating high-quality protein foods when dieting to maintain a sense of fullness."
The Purdue study had one group of overweight or obese men eat a calorie-restricted diet with a typical range of 11% to 14% of those calories coming from protein. Another group consumed the same calories, but with an increased percentage (15% to 25%) coming from proteins. The protein was spaced out evenly across each day's meals. That's how researchers determined that the breakfast protein had the greatest effect on satiety.
The Bigger Picture: What can a high-protein breakfast do for you? In addition to keeping you feeling full and satisfied, the protein will keep your muscles primed for growth. Kicking that anabolic and anti-catablic support into gear first thing in the morning gives you a terrific edge for achieving lean mass gains. Helping to keep fat in check is an added bonus.
