Nutritionists and adherents of healthy eating have been tirelessly repeating all these years: breakfast is the most important meal of the day, you need to eat as much as possible in the morning to recharge your energy and not overeat during the day. However, a new work by Australian nutritionists casts doubt on this statement.

The study itself, which consisted of 13 stages, turned out to be very simple, but extremely effective. At each stage, independent groups of people skipped breakfast, while others, on the contrary, received abundant morning meals. Then they went about their business with one task — to count the amount of food eaten for the whole day. As it turned out, well-fed participants of the experiment during the day on average ate 260 calories a day more than those who did not have breakfast. There was no difference in the lack of appetite, depending on the amount of food eaten in the morning. Interestingly, most often it was those subjects who skipped breakfast in the morning who lost weight faster.

According to the results of their work, experts note that the morning meal does not play a big role in the distribution of energy or weight loss. According to them, each person is different, and if after waking up you are too lazy to cook and don't want to have a big breakfast, then the body simply doesn't need it.
