If you eat eggs every day, you may lose weight
As a study by Saint Louis University’s department of psychology concluded, eggs were found to reduce “short-term food intake.” The stellar combo of protein and fat makes eggs more satiating and, in turn, reduces the urge to keep eating. And fewer meals equals — you guessed it — weight loss.
In another study comparing bagels and eggs — because you can never have too many, right? — researchers found that people who ate eggs as opposed to bagels over an eight-week timeframe experienced a 16 percent greater reduction in body fat percentage, 34 percent greater reduction in waist size, 61 percent greater reduction in body mass index (BMI), and a 65 percent greater reduction in overall weight loss. The results were clear: Eating eggs enhances weight loss.
When you eat eggs also matters. Lauren Harris-Pincus, a registered dietitian nutritionist, told The Healthy that consuming “adequate protein at breakfast (at least 20 grams)” — like eggs — is important to “keep you satisfied all morning, control cravings, support muscle mass and metabolism, and decrease snacking later.”
