In a special health report put out by the magazine Prevention, a section on eggs was particularly interesting: “Research found that individuals who ate two eggs for breakfast as part of a low-calorie diet lost 65 percent more weight and had a 61 percent greater reduction in body mass index than their counterparts who started the day with an equal-calorie bagel breakfast.”
Eggs keep your blood sugar stable longer, whereas bagels drive it up and then it bottoms out in an hour or so, causing more hunger.
Oh, and we’re talking whole eggs here. The yolk is where cancer-fighting, brain-building choline is found—one egg has about 30 percent of your RDA for choline.
