So how does breakfast effect the physiology governing the weight dynamics? Studies have shown that the energy intake of normal
and underweight persons is more evenly distributed throughout the day than that of the obese [22]. Since weight is inversely
related to the number of time that a person eats during the whole day [23], the main reason anticipated to explain decreased ability
to loose weight among breakfast skippers is increased frequency to indulge in snacks and other meals during the rest of the day.
Similarly a significant compensatory mid-day snacking was observed in our study among breakfast skippers. Other studies also
report that breakfast consumers tend to snack less often than those who are in habit of skipping breakfast [21].
