Micronutrients & recovery
A high-protein breakfast (34g) containing dairy (skyr) may positively influence bone mineral content (BMC) compared to a low-protein breakfast, potentially due to higher calcium intake.
Eating a high-protein breakfast with dairy (like skyr) provides more calcium, which may help maintain or slightly increase bone mineral content over 12 weeks. This is a secondary benefit and not a primary driver for weight loss.
ModerateQualifiesMEDIUM confidence
Bone mineral content (BMC) seemed to be influenced by the intervention (β: 20.1; 95 % CI: 4.4, 35.8 g; P = 0.01 between groups), due to a trend towards increased BMC in HP (P = 0.05) and a decreased BMC in LP (P = 0.07).
Why this rating
Trend-level significance (P=0.05) for within-group change, but significant interaction effect.
