They recruited 147 people — 118 female — and asked them about their breakfast patterns. The main question they wanted answered was, “ On an average day, what would you have for breakfast?"
The study showed that the most common breakfast items consumed by slim people were fruits (51%), dairy (41%), cold cereal / granola (33%), bread (32%), eggs (31%), hot cereal (29%), coffee (26%). Only 4% of participants indicated that they didn't eat breakfast.
These healthy morning meals aren't anything out of the ordinary: No fancy Paleo recipes or expensive juices appeared in the findings.
"One important take away from this study is that a very high rate of slim people actually eat breakfast instead of skipping, which is consistent with previous research on the importance of breakfast," explains lead author Anna-Leena Vuorinen.
