For years, you’ve probably heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day if you’re trying to maintain a healthy weight. But new research suggests that’s not true.

Eating a hearty breakfast doesn’t help people eat less later in the day, and those who have breakfast end up eating more calories each day, the review found.

“We should not change diets to include breakfast eating in order to lose weight. Do what works best for you,” said review senior author Flavia Cicuttini. She is head of the musculoskeletal unit at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.

“The evidence is that eating breakfast does tend to add to the overall calorie intake of the person and to overall weight gain,” Cicuttini said.
