Nutrition study claims that eating eggs at breakfast will reduce your daily hunger level

Summary:

* The American College of Nutrition is touting results of a study that found eggs are better than bagels at curbing the appetite.
* As Canadians from coast-to-coast vow to improve their health in 2006, the results of a recently-released study suggest that eggs, an excellent source of high-quality protein, may play an important role in promoting weight loss and satiety.
* 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.
* "It only takes a couple of minutes to cook eggs in the microwave --- making them a great weekday breakfast for people who don't have a lot of time to spare in the morning," says Kim Kesseler, registered dietitian and nutrition officer with the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency.
* Kessler added that Canadians concerned with obesity can be assured that eggs are nutritious.
* "A serving of two large eggs contains 12 grams of protein and 14 essential nutrients."
* While previous research focused on the effects of protein-based breakfasts studied non-obese subjects, this study group consisted of 28 overweight and obese women with a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 25 or higher (the clinical marker for obesity).

I eat 3 eggs a night for dinner when I am dieting and this works very well for me. I do this at 6:00 and go to bed at 9:00
Very satisfying eggs are.

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.
