An interesting study came out of Mizzou recently. The research showed that eating a high protein breakfast (35 grams of protein) helps people limit their calorie intake for the remainder of the day, with less afternoon and evening snacking. The thinking is that these results could help people interested in weight loss by keeping their calorie consumption lower overall but more research needs to be done to prove this theory.
Eating a high protein breakfast can be difficult with a busy schedule but there are several high protein foods that can be part of a great breakfast; eggs, Greek yogurt, ham, peanut butter, cottage cheese.
One quick recipe for a Greek Yogurt Parfait:
1/2 cup of Chobani vanilla yogurt
1/4 cup Kashi Go Lean Crunch cereal
1/4 cup fresh blueberries
This recipe has 260 calories, 14 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber, making it a hearty breakfast that will keep you full the duration of the morning. Try it out. See if it works to curb your appetite too!
