You should not neglect the importance of eating breakfast. Get the most out of your day by fueling yourself with a nutritious, filling breakfast.
Unfortunately, many people are confused about what to eat for breakfast. A high-protein breakfast is a common choice for dieters. In contrast, it is commonly said that in order to have energy throughout the day, your breakfast should contain healthy carbohydrates.
Would you recommend protein above carbohydrates for breakfast, or is it the other way around? A recent study detailed how one of these can aid with weight reduction and enhance focus, and it also disclosed which one won. For more information, continue reading.
The effects of a high-protein, high-carb, or non-breakfast on hunger, focus, and energy are examined in a study that appeared in the Journal of Dairy Science.
Research shows that eating a protein-rich breakfast makes you feel fuller for longer and improves your focus throughout the day. But when contrasted with a carb-heavy breakfast or skipping breakfast altogether, it does not reduce calorie consumption.
"We found that a protein-rich breakfast with skyr (a sour milk product) and oats increased satiety and concentration in the participants, but it did not reduce the overall energy intake compared to skipping breakfast or eating a carbohydrate-rich breakfast," said Mette Hansen, an associate professor and PhD at the Department of Public Health and one of the study's authors.
According to the results, eating a protein-rich breakfast can aid in feeling full for longer, which in turn helps to avoid gaining weight. Having said that, it won't aid weight loss on its own. If you want to lose weight, having a high-protein breakfast is just the beginning. The results also show that eating a breakfast high in protein can aid with focus.
You should try some high-protein breakfast options like eggs, yogurt, nuts and seeds, quinoa, avocado toast, chia pudding, protein smoothies or shakes, and peanut butter.
