should we eat breakfast

Should we eat breakfast⁉️ 🤔

For many years people heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Recently however, some evidence has called that into question. Meta-analyses have found that in many cases, there’s no correlation between people’s body weight and whether they eat breakfast. Other data shows that there’s a relationship between not eating breakfast and a higher risk of metabolic disorders like type II diabetes‼️

One of the challenges may likely be that people have different chronotypes (our natural pattern of waking and sleeping as well as daily alertness and energy). 

These patterns are largely genetic though they can change with age. For instance, teenagers tend to sleep more during their development and growth, adults on the other hand tend to sleep less. 

Chronotypes may count for some of our eating preferences during the day. Some people wake up hungry, others don’t. 

One problem in practice seem to be sometimes for breakfast-skippers (or not eating much earlier in the day) is strongly linked to overeating at night! And in this case a 400 cal breakfast not eaten at 8am could become a 2000 cal cupboard raid at 8pm❗️

Other times though if you skip breakfast you might compensate when you’re hungry mid-morning and go on with your day perfectly regulated. 

This is why people am always saying there is no one “best diet” for everyone!

Everyone’s different, follow the data, like if you’re a breakfast skipper and compensate with overeating at night, doesn’t matter what science says, you need an alternate meal schedule strategy. 

And for people who do eat breakfast, experiment with meal composition: you’ll see a much different consequence from a breakfast with plenty of lean protein and fiber than you’ll see from sugary breakfast cereal. 😬
