A protein-rich breakfast is essential for your health

    Anew study has found that a breakfast rich in protein can provide better appetite and glucose control as compared to eating a lower-protein breakfast. Researchers tested the short-term satiety effects of six breakfast meals similar in calories, fat andfibre and varied in protein. Participants were asked to rate their level of hunger before breakfast and at 30-minute intervals for four hours. After four hours, a pasta lunch was served and subjects were asked to eat until comfortably full. Participants who ate the higher-protein breakfasts had improved appetite ratings throughout the morning, and also consumed fewer calories during lunch
