Eating Breakfast Doesn't Promote Weight Loss

The video discusses a meta-analysis on the impact of breakfast on weight and energy intake. The study reviewed randomized controlled trials from 1990 to 2018, focusing on high-income countries. Results showed that skipping breakfast led to a small average weight loss, but eating breakfast did not result in weight loss. The study concluded that adding breakfast is not a weight loss strategy, and eating breakfast increases total energy intake. The trials were mostly short and of low quality, indicating that breakfast is not necessary for weight loss.

How did the total energy intake of participants who ate breakfast compare to those who skipped it?

What conclusion can be drawn about adding breakfast to a weight loss strategy based on the findings?
