What to eat for breakfast to lose weight?

Among women, those who ate cereal for breakfast were 30 percent less likely to be overweight than those who skipped breakfast, even after accounting for factors such as exercise and total calorie intake, according to the findings of U.S. researchers. However, women who liked other foods for breakfast had similar odds of being overweight as women who skipped breakfast.

The researchers made it clear that cereal lovers ate more fiber and less fat than those who ate other foods for breakfast — a nutrient intake pattern often thought to help with weight management.
