Breakfast and psychosocial behavioural problems in young population: The role of status, place, and habits
The aim of this study was to examine whether breakfast status, place and habits are associated with psychosocial behavioural problems in a nationally representative sample of young people aged 4–14 years residing in Spain. This study analysed secondary data from the Spanish National Health Survey (2017), including 3,772 Spanish children and adolescents. Breakfast status, place, …
Distribution of dietary #protein intake in daily meals influences skeletal #muscle hypertrophy via the muscle clock
Distribution of dietary protein across meals influences muscle hypertrophy•BCAAs are involved in hypertrophic effects of protein feeding distribution•Hypertrophic effects of protein feeding distribution require the muscle clock•Breakfast protein intake is correlated with skeletal muscle functions in older women SummaryThe meal distribution of proteins throughout the day is usually skewed. However, its physiological implications and the …
Eating #breakfast and avoiding late-evening snacking sustains #lipid oxidation
Circadian (daily) regulation of metabolic pathways implies that food may be metabolized differentially over the daily cycle. To test that hypothesis, we monitored the metabolism of older subjects in a whole-room respiratory chamber over two separate 56-h sessions in a random crossover design. In one session, one of the 3 daily meals was presented as …

Lipid metabolism links nutrient-exercise timing to insulin sensitivity in men classified as overweight or #obese
Pre-exercise nutrient availability alters acute metabolic responses to exercise, which could modulate training responsiveness ..exercise before versus after breakfast consumption increased net intramuscular lipid utilization in type I (net change: -3.44±2.63% versus 1.44±4.18% area lipid staining, p < 0.01) and type II fibres (-1.89±2.48% versus 1.83±1.92% area lipid staining, p < 0.05).
