An individual's breakfast habits play a vital role in gradually increasing the protein intake in the morning, shows a new study.

The researchers explained that the habitual breakfast skippers experienced poorer glucose control throughout the day when they consumed a high-protein breakfast, whereas those who typically ate a high-carbohydrate breakfast had improved glucose control after they ate a high-protein breakfast.
Heather Leidy, an assistant professor said that their findings reveals that sustained elevations in post-meal glucose was a strong contributor of poor glycemic control and is associated with an increased risk for the development of Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular complications.
Leidy added that due to the long term potential risk, identifying dietary strategies that individuals can begin when they are young to reduce post-meal elevations in glucose might prevent the occurrence of Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Leidy also mentioned that habitual breakfast skippers faces increased inability to metabolize a large quantity of protein, but once they start eating breakfast, they should gradually transit to a breakfast with more protein and will have improved glycemic control.
