University of Missouri researchers found that eating a healthy breakfast, especially one high in protein, increases satiety (the feeling that you\u2019ve recently eaten and don\u2019t yet need to eat again) and reduces hunger throughout the day.<\/p>\n
The researchers also found, using MRI brain scans, that eating a protein-rich breakfast reduces the brain signals that cause hard-to-resist cravings later in the day.<\/p>\n
This research strongly suggests that eating a healthy breakfast containing protein-rich foods can be a simple strategy to stay satisfied longer, and be less prone to snacking later in the day.<\/p>\n
Good choices: eggs, nuts, cottage cheese or Greek yogurt w\/ fruit and nuts, or a protein shake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
