for fat loss it doesn't matter, what matters is overall macros/calories through the entire day/week0

Depends on your own individual goals.
What I consider my "breakfast" is actually the third time I eat each day because I hardly count a pre-workout Quest bar or a serving of post-workout crust-less quiche a meal. Since I consume so much protein before breakfast and quite a bit at dinner as well, my breakfast meals tend to be a little lower in protein and higher in carbs. The only reason for that is to hit my macros every day. If I wasn't tracking macros, it wouldn't matter as much as long as the calories fit into my day. The fat content is usually 10 grams or less, but that's not planned - again, it's just what fits my macros.
Keep in mind that I take in 130g protein daily and weigh 118 lbs, so I'm not restricting protein by avoiding a bunch of it at breakfast. I just see no point in doing IIFYM if I'm going to be way over in protein and therefore way under in carbs every day. Plus, carbs are delicious.0 -

Any evidence to back this claim up?

No. Eating the breakfast that has fewer calories, and provides the macros you need, when isolated from the rest of your diet, would be the ideal solution.0 -
It won't "aid fat loss" - only a calorie deficit will do that. It will keep you satisfied for longer, and prevent sudden drops in blood sugar, so you don't feel like eating within an hour after breakfast.....
I mix my high protein, high fibre cereal with a protein shake from Costco instead of mixing it with plain milk...Still low in fat, but it keeps me full until noon.....0 -
Depends on the person.
Upon experimentation, I tend to be fuller with a higher protein breakfast, whether balanced between macros (my usual vegetable omelet with fruit and dairy or salmon) or higher in protein and carbs (my oatmeal with fruit and protein powder and veggies on the side), than with a higher fat OR higher carb breakfast that has less protein. So for me the protein content is most important and the relative amount of fat and carbs unimportant, except that it might affect what I choose to eat at later meals.
I also like to have a breakfast that's larger, about 400 calories. Some people prefer smaller breakfasts.
Also disagree re carbs at breakfast being bad for weight loss.0 -
Personally I have to have fewer carbs in the morning. If I have a breakfast of just toast and coffee, or cold cereal, I get that mid-morning shaky-must-eat-everything-in-sight kind of hunger. If I eat more protein -- eggs, cheese, nuts -- then I'm hungry at lunchtime, but just an ordinary hunger.
So for me I have to have protein in the morning, no question.

It wasn't a claim - it was a question. It lacked a question mark, but it was definitely a question.0 -

I eat oatmeal (40g) with sliced almonds (5-10g), and then add whatever fruit is in season. I eat that around 8-8:30 and for the most part am good until lunch. Some days I get hungry in between, so I will grab a snack to hold me over (usually fruit, veggie, nuts, or jerky).0

Cheers everyone. Really want to keep blood sugars low.0

I've been making a smoothie for breakfast for the last couple weeks.0

You will store fat if you eat more calories than you burn.
You will not gain net fat if you eat fewer calories than you burn.0 -

Eat fruits with lower amts of sugar then. Berries are a great example. I've been eating cherries by the handful as they are in season and cheap right now. They have a high sugar content, and I am still losing.
But as others have said, the sugar/insulin/fat storage broscience is nonsense. I eat a lot of fruit.0 -
Perhaps I missed it, do you have a medical reason to be concerned about sugars? If not, spend more time understanding how to consistently maintain a caloric deficit. Once you master the basic principal that governs all weight loss, feel free to "fine tune" your approach with more complicated matters. If you can't do the basics, why muck it up with other stuff? If you do have a medical reason to worry about your sugar intake, make that info known, as there are many here with loads of experience dealing with insulin issues.0

This is my exact meal of choice!

I am curious about sugars.....I thought that sugar spikes caused fat to build up around your abdomen. I have NAFLD (non alcoholic fatty liver disease) and I have been told to erase as much sugar as possible from my diet to help melt away that fat surrounding my liver. It was suggested I only eat one piece of fruit a day. I have been eating this way for two weeks. I am getting used to it, but man do I miss fruit!0

if you eat fats and proteins for breakfast it will minimize or eliminate the spike in blood sugar. Fats and proteins also keep you from feeling hungry much longer than a carb filled breakfast if you are prone to being hungry not long after eating carbs.
I eat 2-3 fried eggs for breakfast and don't even think about food again for 3-5 hours! It is very liberating and helps me stear clear of nutrient-sparse "fun" food that everyone else thinks is great to bring to work in the morning.0 -

No medical reason. Just rather focus now than when it'd too late. Also want bodmantium999 wrote: »Perhaps I missed it, do you have a medical reason to be concerned about sugars?

No medical reason. Have a deficit everyday just focusing before its too late. Still eat fruit for snacks. Just think if I keep insulin low il burn more fat0 -
