Going to work on a couple of eggs might be the way forward if you want
to shift those pounds. According to new research from the
Rochester Centre for Obesity in America, eating eggs for
breakfast could help to limit your calorie intake throughout the
rest of the day, by more than 400 calories.

In the study, 30 overweight or obese women ate either an
egg-based breakfast (2 eggs) or a bagel-based breakfast, containing the
same amount of calories and almost identical levels of protein.
The researchers recorded the women’s eating habits and found
that just before lunch, the women who had eaten eggs for
breakfast felt less hungry and ate a smaller lunch as a result.
Better still, over the next 36 hours the group eating the
egg-containing breakfast consumed, on average, 417 calories less
than the bagel-eating group.
