Good news for those of you who love eating eggs with your morning breakfast: A new study has shown that adults who ate two eggs for breakfast, as part of a low-calorie meal, lost 65% more weight and reported higher energy levels than those who ate a bagel-based, low-calorie breakfast. The researchers also found that baseline cholesterol blood levels in the subjects did not increase compared to the bagel-breakfasters. Why are eggs so good at helping people loose weight? Eggs are a high-quality protein so they can keep your energy up and your cravings down. Although, it is important to note that a lot of the egg's protein and benefits come from the yolk, so you have to eat the entire egg. No egg-white omelets for you! [Eureka Alert]
