When you’re trying to lose weight, eating more protein, staying hydrated and adjusting your calorie intake feel like no-brainers. But can a specific weight-loss breakfast help you shed those extra pounds,

Researchers discovered that women tend to store more fat after a meal than men but they burn through that fat more quickly.

The researchers found that, on average, men’s metabolisms responded better to meals high in carbs (like oats and grains) after they fasted for several hours, while women did better with meals that had higher levels of fat (like omelets and avocados ).

A recent study suggests that a carbohydrate-rich breakfast for men and a fat-rich breakfast for women may be best for maintaining a healthy weight, due to sex-specific metabolic differences.
