High protein breakfast keeps you fit

US researchers have found that protein rich breakfast can significantly control appetite and reduce the intake of high-fat and sugar snacks at night, thus helping to maintain a healthy body Different breakfast Heather Leddy, an associate professor at the school of nutrition and exercise physiology at the University of Missouri, led the researchers to recruit 20 overweight or obese women aged 18 to 20 as volunteers They were asked to skip breakfast, or eat a high protein breakfast containing eggs and lean beef, or eat a protein content breakfast such as instant cereal Each breakfast has 350 calories, with the same density of fat, cellulose, sugar and energy A high protein breakfast has a protein content of 35g, including eggs with beef rolls, or waffles with beef pies The researchers then asked volunteers to complete a questionnaire and collect their blood samples Suppressive appetite Before dinner, the researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to scan the brain of volunteers to observe the brain signals that control eating impulse and reward of eating behavior The results showed that a high protein breakfast reduced brain activity responsible for controlling eating impulses and increased satiety or "satisfaction." People who eat a high protein breakfast eat less high-fat and sugar snacks at night than those who don't eat breakfast or eat a normal breakfast with protein content, the Daily Mail reported Tuesday, citing ledy "Eating a protein rich breakfast affects the desire to eat at night, when people are more likely to eat high-fat or sugar snacks," ledy said This is the first study to focus on the effect of breakfast on daytime appetite and night snack intake The report was published in the American Journal of clinical nutrition Or help lose weight The researchers believe that high protein foods make people feel fuller than foods rich in carbohydrates or fat, thus inhibiting appetite, and that the minimization effect on hunger can help reduce overall calorie intake Protein rich diet, carbohydrate content is less, compared with those high carbohydrate, low-fat diet, short-term weight loss effect is better "These data show that eating a high protein breakfast can help replace unhealthy snacks with high-quality breakfast food, which is one of the potential strategies to prevent overeating and improve the quality of the diet," ledy said Previous studies have shown that about 60% of young people in the United States are accustomed to not having breakfast These people may wonder if they can eat breakfast, and Leddy says it takes only about three days for the body to get used to it.
