Eggs score high on a scale called the satiety index. Which means that eggs are particularly good food at making you feel full and eat fewer overall calories.
Also, they only contain trace amounts of carbohydrates. Which means they will not raise your blood glucose levels.สมัคร UFABET
In a study in 30 overweight or obese women that ate either a bagel or eggs for breakfast. The egg group ended up eating less during lunch, the rest of the day and for the next 36 hours.
In another study, overweight adults were calorie-restricted and given either two eggs (340 calories) or bagels for breakfast.
After eight weeks, the egg-eating group experienced the following:
- 61% greater reduction in BMI
- 65% more weight loss
- 34% greater reduction in waist circumference
- 16% greater reduction in body fat
This difference was significant even though both breakfasts contained the same number of calories.
Put simply, eating eggs is an excellent weight loss strategy on a reduced-calorie diet.
Just think about it, one egg contains all the nutrients and building blocks required to grow a baby chicken.
Eggs are loaded with high-quality proteins, vitamins, minerals, good fats and various trace nutrients.
A large egg contains :
- Only 74 calories, with 5 grams of fat and 6 grams of protein with all 9 essential amino acids.
- Rich in iron, phosphorus, selenium and vitamins A, B12, B2 and B5 (among others).
- About 169 mg of choline, a very important nutrient for the brain.
If you decide to include eggs in your diet, make sure to eat omega-3-enriched or pastured eggs. They are much more nutritious.
Make sure to eat the yolks, since they contain pretty much all the nutrients.
