Eggs is Healthy

Although the black & white ‘Go to Work on an Egg’ ads may not look as slick as their modern counterparts, the messages are still as relevant today. Eggs are a healthy natural food packed with protein and essential vitamins and minerals - and all for just 80 calories each.

On top of this, two recent studies found that people eating two eggs for breakfast ate less during the rest of the day and lost more weight than people eating alternatives.

A study at the Rochester Center for Obesity in 2005 found that women eating two boiled eggs for breakfast ate 400 calories less during the remainder of the day, compared to another group which ate a bread-based breakfast. 

And a research team from Louisiana State University found that by giving two eggs a day for breakfast, overweight and obese women lost more weight than those eating a bagel-based breakfast.

The women in the study were asked to follow a low calorie diet while eating either a bagel or egg-based breakfast – each breakfast contained equal calories.  The researchers believe that it is testament to the satiating quality of eggs that led the egg-eating women to lose 65% more weight than the bagel group.  Not only did they lose more weight, but the egg group felt more energetic, too.
