Confirmed: No, eating a big breakfast won’t help most people lose weight

No matter how many calories are consumed in the morning, people eat the same size lunch and dinner — and that adds up to more total calories when the breakfast is big, according to the study, which was published in the Nutrition Journal.

If you want to lose weight, cut back on the calories you consume in the morning, concluded the team of German researchers led by Dr. Volker Schusdziarra of the Else-Kroner-Fresenius Center of Nutritional Medicine in Munich.
