Recently, a study has confirmed what I’ve long known in my heart: two breakfasts are betterthan none. The research on the effect of breakfast on weight gain was done on school children. But for s, in theory, two breakfasts are also better than none.
Researchers from Yale and the University of Connecticut followed 600 middle-schoolstudents as they developed from fifth to sh grade, nothing their weight and if they had zerobreakfast, breakfast either at home or at school, or breakfast in both places. They found thatweight gain among second-breakfast eaters was no different from the average gain seen amongall students. Children who didn ’t eat breakfast, or ate it only sometimes, were more likely to beoverweight than double-breakfasters. It should be noted that only about one in ten children inthe study ate two breakfasts.
The study wasn’t designed to figure out why this might be true, but the researchers havesome theories: that people who don ’t eat breakfast (or any meal) might overeat later in the day,and that as people become obese, they tend to reduce calories （热量） by having no breakfast.
Yes, school breakfasts are more like a healthy snack（零食） than a full meal, and growings can eat a large amount of food. But if you ’re still not eating breakfast because you think itgives you more colories, you are not only mistaken, but you are also missing out one of life ’s greatpleasures.
