Background: Breakfast skipping is linked to obesity and related cardiometabolic outcomes in observational studies, but the association between breakfast eating and weight loss is not well-established. We examined if weight loss outcomes in Look AHEAD were related to breakfast consumption frequency (BCF). Methods: We included a subset of participants (n=3862) from the public access dataset of Look AHEAD, an RCT that compared intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI) to diabetes support and education (DSE) control in adults with overweight/obesity and type 2 diabetes. A self-reported questionnaire collected BCF over a 7-day week annually. This value (0-7) was averaged across 4 years of the intervention to calculate an average BCF. We used robust multivariable linear regression analysis to estimate the association between % weight change and 4-year average BCF controlling for baseline sociodemographics, BMI, and diabetes-related variables. In separate models, we adjusted for self-reported caloric intake (n=880) and self-reported physical activity level (n=735) among those with data. Results: 4-year average BCF was similar in DSE (n=1914) and ILI (n=1948) arms, with a median of 7 days (IQR 6-7) for both arms (p=0.11). Each 1 day increase in average BCF was associated with an additional 0.43% weight loss in the ILI arm (p=0.002) but not in the DSE arm (β-coefficient 0.04% weight loss; p=0.73; p-interaction for arm x BCF=0.01). This association in the ILI arm remained significant after adjustment for daily caloric intake (p=0.04) but not after adjustment for physical activity (p=0.16). Conclusions: Breakfast consumption was associated with greater weight loss in subjects who received ILI, which was attenuated after adjustment for caloric intake and physical activity. To optimize weight loss interventions, the relationship between breakfast consumption and other weight loss behaviors should be further explored.
