New Medical Advice: Feast on lean protein in the morning, and you’ll eat less all day. According to an International Journal of Obesity study, people who started their day with a meal that included protein-packed pancakes felt fuller—and ate 26 percent fewer calories at lunch—than those served a plain stack. Protein encourages the release of peptide YY, the gut hormone that sends a satiety signal to the brain, says the University of Missouri’s Leidy, who also led this research project. Pump up your basic bowl of oatmeal by topping it with nuts or chia seeds. Or stir in protein powder, low-fat milk, or pasteurized egg whites.
