Fans who love a full English breakfast worried about their health will be jumping with joy - eating a larger breakfast to curb eating throughout the day, with a smaller dinner could help you lose weight.
Researchers say weight loss occurs as you feel less hungry after a larger breakfast, leading to a decrease in the amount of food you go on to eat during the day. The study by scientists saw them control people's meals, comparing the impact of a large breakfast or a large evening meal.
The researchers at the University of Aberdeen discovered people burned the same number of calories whenever they consumed the largest meal of the day. The appetite to eat more food was smaller after people ate a large breakfast - meaning weight loss is easier if people stick to a larger breakfast routine.
