“An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is a famous phrase which known by most of the people. While now researchers suggest going to work on an egg everyday could be the best way to start a day. They said the egg can also keep unwanted intake of calories at bay.
According to a Surrey University study, eating eggs for breakfast can help slash the calories eaten at lunch and dinner. This is due to eggs can keep us fuller for longer time compared to other common breakfast foods such as bacon, French toast, sandwiches and pancakes.
The researchers suggest that eggs are also better for people who want to resist afternoon snacks----biscuits, cakes or chocolate. This study tested three typical breakfasts with the same amount calories which are eggs on toast, cornflakes with milk and toast, and a croissant and orange juice. There is evidence to support eggs as a key ingredient of weight-loss diets, the Surrey team found volunteers felt fuller for longer time and had a lower desire to eat after the egg breakfast compared with the other ones.
The egg breakfast also led to a significantly lower intake of energy at lunch and dinner meals compared with the other common breakfasts.
