Studies have revealed that there is an ideal breakfast you can eat in order to help you lose weight - and it's nothing to do with the food itself. The study shows the ideal breakfast should provide 20-30% of the recommended daily energy intake. The recent Spanish study, published in the Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging, analysed the impact of breakfast on factors like body mass index (BMI) and metabolic health. And according to the findings, it's not only important how much is eaten during the first meal of the day, but also the quality of the food ingested.
According to infobae, with the ideal breakfast said to be between 20 and 30% of the recommended daily energy intake, this means you should be consuming between 500 and 750 calories for men. For women, this is between 400 and 600. The reason for this is that it will enough energy for the day's activities without exceeding the limits necessary to maintain or reduce body weight. The study looked at 383 people aged 55 to 75 who were overweight or obese and it revealed a balanced and nutritious breakfast is associated with better results in terms of body mass and waist circumference.

The study, published in the Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging, which followed these 383 participants in the PREDIMED-Plus project, revealed the meal is crucial. “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but what matters is what and how you eat it. Eating controlled amounts and ensuring a good nutritional composition is crucial,” explains Professor Álvaro Hernáez, IMIM researcher and author of the work.
