High Protein Breakfast on Weight Management and Glycemic Control in 'Breakfast-skipping' Teens
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Breakfast, Appetitive Behavior
In brief
75 overweight, habitual 'breakfast-skipping' adolescents will complete the following long-term, randomized controlled trial. Participants will be randomly assigned to the following breakfast treatments: 350 kcal high protein breakfasts containing 30 g protein (primarily from lean beef), 35 g carbohydrates, and 10 g fat; 350 kcal normal protein breakfasts containing 10 g protein, 55 g carbohydrates, and 10 g fat; or will continue to skip breakfast. The following outcomes will be assessed during baseline and 4-month (post-intervention): body weight \& body composition; waist circumference; daily food intake; 24-h free-living glycemic control; and pre and post-prandial satiety. In addition, body weight and free-living breakfast intake (quantity, quality, and type) will also be assessed at 2-month follow-up
