Eating according to the well-known adage about the benefits of breakfast does not lead to more calories burned. This conclusion was made by researchers from the University of Aberdeen.
Eat breakfast yourself, share lunch with a friend, and give dinner to an enemy. This proverb is known to most Russians, and many build their diet based on its message. And not only in Russia. For example, in the West there is a similar proverb that sounds like this: breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a beggar. It is believed that if the main emphasis in nutrition is made on breakfast, then this will lead to a reduction in the daily number of calories.

Scientists said that a double breakfast will help you lose weight – in the evening.

So, such nutrition can still be a good strategy for people watching their weight. (READ MORE)
