The long-term objective of this study is to determine if habitual consumption of high-quality protein at breakfast will lead to improved energy metabolism and decreased daily energy intake in normal weight and overweight children. The investigators hypothesize that increasing protein intake at breakfast will improve energy metabolism and reduce energy intake throughout the day in overweight/obese school-aged children. The significance of the study is that improving nutrient intake at breakfast can potentially lead to a future reduction in childhood obesity rates.
