When
it comes to losing weight, there's no meal more important than breakfast. And
research shows that you'll have better results if you bag the bread... and opt
for eggs.
A
study published in the Journal of the
American College of Nutrition separated participants into two groups.
One group ate eggs for breakfast, while the other had a bagel providing the
same number of calories and weight.
Researchers
found that the egg breakfast helped participants feel more satisfied over 24
hours than the bagel-based breakfast. What's more, those enjoying the egg
breakfast ate about 330 calories less for the remainder of the day. Over the
course of a month, this one simple change could help you lose almost 4 lbs!
Take
a few minutes in the morning to make you and your family a nutritious, filling
egg breakfast. Short on time? Here are a few super-simple, make-ahead breakfast
ideas:
- Boil eggs and keep in the refrigerator for a quick, portable protein breakfast.
- Add a raw egg into an organic, berry-packed protein smoothie. (NOTE: Make sure to use healthy eggs from pasture-raised hens to avoid Salmonella)
- Make bake-ahead egg breakfasts like mini frittatas with ground grass-fed beef, veggies and whole eggs, baked in a 9 x 11 pan or muffin cups.
