A February 2020 study by University of Lübeck found, “that a meal eaten for breakfast, regardless of the amount of calories it contains, creates twice as high diet-induced thermogenesis as the same meal consumed for dinner,"

"This finding is significant for all people as it underlines the value of eating enough at breakfast."

"We recommend that patients with obesity as well as healthy people eat a large breakfast rather than a large dinner to reduce body weight and prevent metabolic diseases."
