Current Developments in Nutrition (#CDN) Explores the Impact of Breakfast...
Breakfast Consumption Augments Appetite, Eating Behavior, and Exploratory Markers of Sleep Quality Compared with Skipping Breakfast in Healthy Young Adults
Much has been written on the pros and cons of breakfast. Observational studies have shown associations between breakfast skipping, reduced satiety, and poor sleep quality; however, interventional studies have been lacking.
To help fill this research gap, the authors of this study examined the effects of consuming breakfast compared with breakfast skipping on appetitive, hormonal, and neural markers of appetite and satiety; ad libitum food intake; and exploratory measures of sleep health in young adults.
The results of the study point to a net benefit of eating breakfast. The authors found that "breakfast consumption improved appetite, satiety, and diet quality and may support some aspects of sleep health in healthy young adults."
You can read the full study in Current Developments in Nutrition, #ASN's open-access journal.

And Help Us Convey the Importance of Federal Funding for Basic Research
The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) is requesting research examples and images to be promoted as part of a social media push around its March 2019 Hill Day. FASEB will feature five to six examples of cutting-edge science conducted by Society members in order to highlight the importance of federal funding for basic research.
#ASN will also actively promote examples of nutrition research in early 2019 as well. To be featured, please email Sarah Ohlhorst (sohlhorst@nutrition.org) a short description (100-150 words) of a research project that is or was funded by the National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Science Foundation, Department of Energy Office of Science, or the Veterans Administration Research Program, along with an accompanying image.
