Breakfast for Female Adolescent - NewStart

Investigators will test the long-term health effects of eating a dairy-based protein-rich breakfast and/or performing regular physical training for 12 weeks in 100 previous 'breakfast skipping' young overweight women (2 x 2 factorial design). Measurements of body composition, physical fitness, metabolic health parameters, faeces (microbiota activity and composition), satiety and daily energy intake will be collected.

The study is a 2×2-factorial randomized controlled trial with 4 study arms. The subjects will be randomly allocated to skip breakfast or eat high-protein yoghurt products (300g/day) and to either exercise 3x per week or maintain habitual physical activity for 12 weeks. Measurements and biological sampling will be performed at baseline and at the end of the intervention period.

The primary outcome will be fat mass and fat free mass. The investigators will also measure effects on weigth, waiste, health-related blood paramenters, muscle function, metabolites in urine and blood, and gut microflora and pH.
