Protein breakfast, less unhealthy snacking

Could protein rich breakfast keep us from snacking on unhealthy foods later in the day? A University of Missouri Study is the first of its kind to look at the impact of breakfast consumption on daily appetite and evening snacking in young people.  Lead researcher, Dr. Heather Leidy found that higher protein breakfasts – 35 grams of protein – left those participants with increased fullness and reduced their snacking on high fat and high sugar foods in the evening.
