He explained that a protein-rich breakfast is “particularly effective” if paired with quality fibre, such as small amounts of fruit.

“Eating protein at the first meal of the day helps you feel fuller for longer because after a protein meal, levels of a chemical called tyrosine rise inside the brain,” he said.

“By increasing its own dopamine supply as the next meal approaches, the brain experiences a much weaker dopamine hit from high calorie food.”

Research suggests that regularly eating a healthy breakfast may help people lose excess weight and maintain weight loss.
