Long-Term Weight Loss and Breakfast in Subjects in the National Weight Control Registry - Wyatt - 2012 - Obesity Research - Wiley Online Library

Long-Term Weight Loss and Breakfast in Subjects in the National Weight Control Registry - Wyatt - 2012 - Obesity Research - Wiley Online Library: Results: A large proportion of NWCR subjects (2313 or 78%) reported regularly eating breakfast every day of the week. Only 114 subjects (4%) reported never eating breakfast. There was no difference in reported energy intake between breakfast eaters and non-eaters, but breakfast eaters reported slightly more physical activity than non-breakfast eaters (p = 0.05).


Discussion: Eating breakfast is a characteristic common to successful weight loss maintainers and may be a factor in their success.
