Fig. 1. Difference in energy intakes after the egg or the bagel breakfasts. Twenty-eight overweight or obese women were offered isoenergetic and equal weight egg or bagel breakfasts on two days at least two weeks apart. Following the egg breakfast, mean energy intake was significantly lower for lunch (post-breakfast lunch, * p < 0.0001), for the entire day of the breakfasts including all meals (entire day of the breakfast, ** p < 0.05) and, for the day of the breakfast and the breakfast and lunch of the next day (Day of the breakfast + up to lunch the next day; *** p < 0.01).
