Summary
This study examines how different breakfast compositions affect appetite control and gut health during weight loss. Researchers conducted a randomized trial with 19 overweight/obese adults comparing higher-fiber (HFWL) and higher-protein (HPWL) breakfast diets over 28-day periods. Both diets were designed with 45% of calories consumed in the morning, 35% in the afternoon, and 20% in the evening. The study found that both breakfast types improved appetite control and gut health markers, with the higher-fiber breakfast showing particular benefits for gut microbiota composition and short-chain fatty acid production.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledGrowing evidence supports early eating to control appetite and energy balance but there are few controlled studies to assess the amount and/or type of breakfast meal.
This randomised, within-participant, diet intervention examined the effects of higher-fibre (HF) and higher-protein (HP) breakfasts in adults with overweight/obesity.
Nineteen healthy adults consumed two randomised 28-d weight loss (WL) diets, as higher-fibre (HFWL) or higher protein (HPWL), with all food provided.
Both WL diets were designed as 45 %, 35 % and 20 % of calories to be consumed in the morning, afternoon and evening.
