Eating eggs every day will keep you feeling fuller longer
When deciding between scrambled eggs and a bagel for breakfast, you may pick the latter, thinking it’ll keep you feeling fuller longer. But science says that’s not the case. No, seriously. Scientists compared these two breakfasts and found a clear winner.
In a study conducted by the department of psychology at Saint Louis University in Missouri, participants who were classified as “overweight” or “obese” fasted overnight. The next morning, the subject ate “either an [equal-weight] egg or bagel-based breakfast followed by lunch [three and a half hours] later, in random order two weeks apart.”
In the end, the researchers found that eating eggs for breakfast “induced greater satiety and significantly reduced short-term food intake.” Yes, the incredible egg beats the bagel on the fullness scale. How? “Eggs are a perfect combination of protein and fat,” Julie Kaye, a New York City-based registered dietitian explained to Woman’s Day, “so they’re more satisfying than other breakfast foods.”
