Eggs

Eggs are a low-calorie, high-protein, high-nutrient food. Eating eggs can help people lose weight, especially if they are part of a calorie-controlled diet. Eggs have been shown to improve metabolic activity and feelings of fullness in some studies.

Eggs are a true powerhouse of nutrients, packed with protein and essential vitamins and minerals including selenium and riboflavin. Eggs, with their high protein content, may help weight loss by reducing hunger when eaten with breakfast. When compared to eating a bagel for breakfast, one research of 30 overweight women found that eating eggs for breakfast dramatically boosted feelings of fullness and reduced food intake later in the day. Over an eight-week period, another research of 152 people found that replacing a bagel breakfast with eggs resulted in a 65% greater weight loss and a 34% greater decrease in waist circumference. From boiled to scrambled to sunny-side-up, there are many different ways to enjoy your eggs.
