Eating A Big Breakfast May Help Boost Metabolism, Study Finds

In order to consider how the timing of the meal (and thus, whether it’s considered breakfast, lunch, or dinner) affects metabolism the researchers focused on a process called diet-induced thermogenesis, also known as DIT. This is a measure of the way the body uses energy for the absorption, digestion, transport, and storage of nutrients. It’s considered a marker for how well our metabolism is working.
