Research is in and high protein brekkie is the BESTfast! Why you ask? Here’s how...
A breakfast high in protein (35 grams or more) increases the feelings of fullness & satiety. So say bye-bye to mid-morning snacking, overeating & weight gain!
Protein eaten in the morning stimulates gastrointestinal hormones, which signal the brain to adjust appetite & satiety - the parts of the brain controlling food cravings.
Eating a high protein breakfast helps you to feel fuller throughout the day & eat a smaller dinner & fewer night time snacks.
