This study compared a high fat (45% of calories) breakfast to a high carbohydrate (60% of calories) breakfast. Both groups underwent the same activity and diet throughout the rest of the day. It was found that the high fat breakfast led to significantly more fat burning throughout the day than the high carb breakfast! Other studies have shown similar results when comparing high protein to high carb breakfasts. If improving body composition is your goal, sticking to a high fat/high protein and low carb breakfast can help your progress.
