The Importance of Breakfast

Tonight's research took me to the American Journal of Epidemiology, where I found a couple of studies about the importance of breakfast.
- Association between Eating Patterns and Obesity showed that eating frequently during the day and eating a good breakfast were both associated with reduced chances of obesity in Americans.
- Energy Intake at Breakfast and Weight Change found that middle-aged folks in England were less apt to gain weight if they had most of their food intake during the first half of the day.
I wound up using both of those studies in an article, Maintain Your Diet by Controlling Hunger. Which, on reflection, might better have been titled "Healthy Breakfast".
To tie this in with RV Recreation, I'll point out that it is important to maintain good nutrition while you're camping.
While I'm talking about food, here are three easy lean-beef recipes to try. They're simple recipes (I know; I've made them). The Empanadas need an oven, but they're my favorite.
