Summary:
* The American College of Nutrition is touting results of a study that found eggs are better than bagels at curbing the appetite.
* The study, published in the latest issue of the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, found that eating two eggs for breakfast, instead of a small bagel, reduced hunger and caloric intake at lunch and over the next 24 hours.
* Study participants received one of two breakfasts with the same caloric and weight value: the first group ate two scrambled eggs and two slices of toast with low-calorie jelly, while the second group ate a 3 1/2-in.
* bagel with cream cheese and a small container of fat-free yogurt.
* The results showed that the first group, who ate eggs, had an average 163 fewer calories at lunch that day.
Nice post on eggs - but I hate these studies - How on earth can you control a study on appetite and calorie intake after eating 2 eggs for breakfast ??? Surely there are to many variables - appetite isnt a constant thing - it changes like the wind from person to person. So to say that people who eat 2 eggs for breakfast over people who eat bagels then go on to take in "163" calories less for lunch is utter bs imo.
