According to the study published in the British Journal of Nutrition, a high-protein breakfast creates a greater sense of sustained fullness throughout the day compared to a high-protein lunch or dinner.
Previous studies had shown that eating a "big breakfast" in the morning followed by a strict low-carb diet can help reduce weight.
"This study is particularly unique in that it looked at the timing of protein intake and reveals that when you consume more protein may be a critical piece of the equation," the study author, Wayne Campbell of Purdue University, said in a statement.
