Healthy eaters know that a quality breakfast sets the tone for the day’s meals.
A guaranteed way to start your day off right? Protein-packed eggs.
This breakfast superstar contains a nutrient called choline, a type of B Vitamin. An increase in choline intake improves nervous system function and cardiovascular health.
Eggs also promote weight loss (yes!). A trial study of 160 overweight people by university researchers in The FASEB Journal compared the effects of starting the day with either two eggs or a bagel. Both meals contained the same amounts of calories and weight mass. The egg eaters lost more weight, had a bigger drop in waist size, and said they felt more energized than those who ate bagels. Why? The protein in eggs keeps you full, preventing you from eating foods that are high in fat and sugar.
If you love to work out, you have to work protein into your diet. It aids muscle repair after a cardio or weight-training routine, while also providing you with energy. Hard-boiled eggs are an easy recovery snack!
However, we should always follow nutritional guidelines and how many eggs do you think we should eat per week?
Err... Is it we should eat 3 to 5 eggs per week? For those elderly they should eat even less due to high cholesterol.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I know, is it 1 egg per day for adults? Which equates to 7 eggs per week!
ReplyDelete1 egg per day is a tad bit too much! I think HPB says 3-5!
