When you're trying to lose weight, is it better to fill up at breakfast or have a light breakfast but a big dinner? Turns out there's no difference in weight loss between these approaches - so long as you're eating the same number of calories
Settling questions like this is difficult because most nutrition research is observational and often relies on people’s own reports of what they consumed and when, which can be unreliable.at the University of Aberdeen in the UK and her colleagues recruited 30 adults who were overweight or obese and had no other underlying health conditions. The researchers then provided participants with food and beverages for 10 weeks.
For the following four weeks, participants were divided into two groups: 14 people ate 45 per cent of their calories at breakfast, 35 per cent at lunch and 20 per cent at dinner. The other 16 ate 20 per cent of their calories at breakfast, 35 per cent at lunch and 45 per cent at dinner. Both groups were restricted to the calories required at their resting metabolic rate, and had 35 per cent of calories from fat, 30 per cent from protein and 35 per cent from carbohydrates.
