Bacon and eggs can help diet

IT’S a scientific fact. Bacon and eggs for breakfast can help you lose weight.

A new report from the CSIRO confirms the benefits of eating more protein at breakfast.

Protein Balance: New concepts for protein in Weight Management reveals that Australians should up their protein intake in the mornings to at least 25 grams in a bid to stave off unhealthy cravings.

“The average Australian eats much lower amounts of protein at breakfast, so increasing breakfast protein may help to control eating later in the day,” Senior Principal Research Scientist for CSIRO and co-author of the CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet, Professor Manny Noakes, said.

The scientists highlight that for most Australians, protein intake is skewed towards the evening meal. On average women consume 11g of protein at breakfast, compared to the male average of 15g.
