Interesting. I (and others including Tim Ferris) was under the impression that eating protein for breakfast helps stimulate mental alertness and promotes weight loss. It seems that this small sample (still a RCT) does not support that hypothesis. Studies have shown that smaller more frequent meals are important for general alertness and weight loss - the theory being that you're not maxing out your body's sugar or food load.
