London: While an apple
a day is known for keeping the doctor away, researchers suggest
going to work on an egg everyday could be the best way to start
the day. For, they say, it can also keep unwanted intake of
calories at bay.
According to a Surrey University study, the first of its kind in
Britain, eating eggs for breakfast can help slash the calories
eaten at lunch and dinner. They keep us fuller for longer compared
with other common breakfast foods.
The researchers suggest, eggs are also better for people who want
to resist afternoon snacks on biscuits, cake or chocolate.
The study tested three typical breakfasts with the same level of
calories - eggs on toast, cornflakes with milk and toast, or a
croissant and orange juice.
Adding to the growing body of evidence to support eggs as a key
ingredient of weight-loss diets, the Surrey team found volunteers
felt fuller for longer and had a lower desire to eat after the egg
breakfast compared with the other ones.
The egg breakfast also led to a significantly lower intake of
energy at lunch and evening meals compared with the other common
breakfasts.
