Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dine like a pauper is an old nutritional adage that at first glance would seemingly be supported by a recent study published in the Endocrine Societys Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.

But though the study made some interesting findings it certainly didnt warrant the slew of overblown headlines that came with it . Wait, What? Study Shows Eating a Big Breakfast Can Lead to Weight Loss(MSN)

That . doesnt amount to anything like weight melting off effortlessly .
