“It has been established, of course, that morning meals are characterized by a high amount of carbohydrates and low in protein,” according to a study published in the Journal of Nutrition in June 2014, emphasizes Mr. Eumenis P. Karafyllidis BSC (HONS), MSC, NYSCDN Clinical Dietitian – Nutritionist, Director of Dietetics Metropolitan General.
