One of the most nutritious foods you can eat is eggs. They contain large amounts of healthy fats, proteins, and important vitamins. They are also low in calories, each with around 78 calories. The egg is high in nutrients, especially the yolks. A meal of three eggs contains around 234 calories and with a generous serving of vegetables you have a nutritious meal of around 300 calories. Of course, if you fry the eggs, you should add about 50 calories for each teaspoon of fat used.

Eggs are filling mainly due to their high protein content. High-protein foods are known to be more satisfying and filling than low-protein foods, reducing appetite and contributing to a feeling of fullness. An egg meal has even been shown to produce satiety and reduce food intake for subsequent meals. This is compared to meals with less protein but the same amount of calories.

The satiety index is a scale that determines how well foods help you feel full and reduce your calorie intake later. Eggs rank high on this scale.

High-protein diets reduce cravings and tormenting thoughts of food and reduce the need for late-night binges or snacks.

All essential amino acids are contained in eggs and in the correct proportions for their maintenance and metabolism. You can increase your metabolism to 80-100 calories per day by eating a high-protein diet. This is due to the thermal effect, which is the amount of calories that are used in the process of digestion, absorption and storage of food. Therefore, it takes more energy just to digest protein than it does to digest fat or carbohydrates. So it goes without saying that eggs, because they are high in protein, help you burn more calories.

Eating eggs for breakfast has been shown in studies to increase feelings of fullness and make you eat fewer calories for the next 36 hours for women and for the next 24 hours for men. People who ate eggs for breakfast felt fuller. Men have been shown to consume 270-470 fewer calories at lunch and dinner after eating eggs for breakfast.

In addition, eggs are relatively inexpensive and easy to prepare, making it easy to incorporate them into your daily diet. They are also available almost anywhere.

Eggs contain choline that promotes normal cell activity and liver function. Helps in the transport of nutrients throughout the body. Choline is also important in the baby’s memory development.

You’re probably wondering why I didn’t mention cholesterol. There are recent recommendations from the American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology, and the American Diabetes Association that no longer limit your intake of eggs or cholesterol. In fact, eggs are promoted as part of heart health by organizations like Health Canada, the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation, the Australian Heart Foundation, and the Irish Heart Foundation.

So apparently eggs may be the “must-have” food for hungry dieters. Not only are they cheap, they are easy to prepare. Keep some hard-boiled eggs on hand in the refrigerator for snacks.
