• Children consumed ~ 70 fewer calories at lunch after an egg-based breakfast.
• Daily energy intake did not differ across breakfast conditions.
• Subjective appetite ratings did not differ significantly across conditions.
BackgroundFew studies exist that have systematically examined the role of protein, and egg protein in particular, in appetite and energy intake regulation in children.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to compare the effects of three different types of breakfast on appetite and energy intake at subsequent meals in children.DesignForty children, ages 8–10, were served a compulsory breakfast (egg, cereal, or oatmeal) and lunch, consumed ad libitum, once a week for three weeks. Children's appetite ratings were assessed repeatedly throughout the morning. On each test day, caregivers completed food records, which captured children's intake for the remainder of the day.ResultsThere was a significant main effect of breakfast condition on energy intake at lunch (P = 0.02) indicating that children consumed ~ 70 fewer calories at lunch following the egg breakfast (696 ± 53 kcal) compared to the cereal (767 ± 53 kcal) and oatmeal (765 ± 53 kcal) breakfasts. Calories consumed for the remainder of the day and daily energy intake did not differ across conditions (P > 0.30). There also were no significant differences in children's appetite ratings between conditions (P > 0.43).ConclusionsConsuming an egg-based breakfast significantly reduced short-term, but not longer-term, energy intake in children in the absence of differences in appetite ratings.
