A Big Breakfast Burns More
Daily Calories, Study Says New research can be found in the
Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. Subjects used were young males in healthy condition
and with a normal BMI (body mass index). Compared to those who combined a
small morning meal with a large dinner, subjects who ate a big breakfast burned twice as many calories throughout the day. Scientists say its due to the amount of energy
for processing food in the morning. They add the term for this is
“diet-induced thermogenesis." Researchers add that the burned calories are only 15 percent of the total amount shed per day. This means watching what you eat is
still necessary when looking to lose weight.
