Big breakfast,big calorie count

The study,published in Nutrition Journal,found that the foods most often responsible for the variations in daily calories were among the mornings favorites: bread,eggs,yogurt,cheese,sausages,marmalade and butter.

This may mean that exactly the opposite of the commonly offered advice is correct: A smaller breakfast means fewer daily calories consumed,not more.

Whenever someone comes to me for dietary advice and says,I never eat breakfast, I say,Keep doing what youre doing, said the senior author,Dr Volker Schusdziarra,a professor of internal medicine at the Technical University of Munich. Eating breakfast is just added calories. Youll never compensate for them at subsequent meals. NICHOLAS BAKALAR
