Eating two eggs for breakfast, as part of a reduced-calorie diet, helps overweight adults lose more weight and feel more energetic than those who eat a bagel breakfast of equal calories. Findings shows that adults who consume two eggs for breakfast:
- lost 65 percent more weight
- exhibited a 61 percent greater reduction in BMI
- reported higher energy levels than their dieting counterparts who consumed a bagel breakfast
This study adds to the growing body of research which supports the importance of high-quality protein in the diet and not getting enough high-quality protein may contribute to obesity, muscle wasting (loss) and increased risk of chronic disease.
