Oops. We were wrong. Again. Maybe.
I love nutrition studies. You can draw whatever conclusions you like, it seems. Probably because the problem is so complex that current science can only go so far into answering these type of questions.
From MSNBC.com:
a new study suggests that the only thing a big breakfast does is lard on more pounds. 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.
Don’t worry – another study will come out to contradict this one – it’s inevitable.
Another observational, misinterpretational study garners headlines.
As I see it, this study was interpreted in terms of the “calories in calories out” hypothesis. Now, we all know that food quality, not caloric quantity, is what determines hunger signals and appetite and affects ones level of metabolic activity.
