New research finds that people who eat their largest meal in the morning do not metabolize their food any more efficiently. However, they feel less hungry later in the day, which could aid in weight loss efforts.In dieting, there’s the old saying that one should “breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dine like a pauper.” It is based on the belief that consuming the bulk of daily calories in the morning optimizes weight loss by burning calories more efficiently and quickly.
For this study, the researchers recruited healthy subjects who were overweight or obese to have their diets controlled and their metabolisms measured over a period of time. There were 16 men and 14 women who completed the study. Each participant was randomly assigned to eat either a morning-loaded or an evening-loaded diet for four weeks. The diets were isocaloric , with a balance of 30% protein, 35% carbohydrate, and 35% fat.
The secondary end points were subjective appetite control, glycemic control, and body composition. “The participants reported that their appetites were better controlled on the days they ate a bigger breakfast and that they felt satiated throughout the rest of the day,” Johnstone says. “This could be quite useful in the real-world environment, versus in the research setting that we were working in.
Johnstone notes that this type of experiment could be applied to the study of intermittent fasting , to help determine the best time of day for people following this type of diet to consume their calories.
