My name is Scott Capelin, an Australian-based health and fitness expert. My job is to train people and help them develop a healthy, balanced lifestyle. For today, I want to focus on the topic of breakfast: its importance, the myths surrounding it and mostly, the benefits of protein in your breakfast.
Despite being the key nutritious source for muscle growth, protein is not frequently added as part of everyone's breakfast. Protein intake through breakfast can improve the energy quantity throughout the day, says Scott Capelin – fitness expert.
Myths and Myth Busters
There was a myth that says that skipping breakfast can make you lose weight. However, studies have shown us that skipping breakfast does not contribute to losing weight.
Facts about Breakfast
In a recent study of 2019, researchers had compared the physical states of breakfast eaters with breakfast skippers. Eventually, they found that people who do not skip breakfast usually develop an appetite for healthier food choices and improved sleep quality.
Importance of Protein in Breakfast
1- More protein in the breakfast means fewer calories throughout the day
Protein consumption during breakfast can help stop the hormone ghrelin. Ghrelin is labelled as a hunger hormone. It is produced mainly by the stomach with a small amount also released by the small intestine, says Scott Capelin.
