(April 6, 2010) \u2013 A new study demonstrates that eating protein-rich eggs for breakfast reduces hunger and decreases calorie consumption at lunch and throughout the day. The study, published in the February issue of <em>Nutrition Research<\/em>, found that men who consumed an egg-based breakfast ate significantly fewer calories when offered an unlimited lunch buffet compared to when they ate a carbohydrate-rich bagel breakfast of equal calories.(1) This study supports previous research which revealed that eating eggs for breakfast as part of a reduced-calorie diet helped overweight dieters lose 65 percent more weight and feel more energetic than dieters who ate a bagel breakfast of equal calories and volume.(2)<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<strong>&#8230;A Closer Look at the Study<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>blood tests showed that ghrelin, the hormone that stimulates hunger when elevated, was significantly higher after the bagel breakfast<\/li>\n<li>they consumed approximately 400 fewer calories in the 24-hour period following the egg breakfast<\/li>\n<li>the men ate roughly 112 fewer calories at a buffet lunch three hours following the egg breakfast compared to the bagel breakfast.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I can believe it.\u00a0 I start the day with eggs more often than not, and find that they make for a far more satisfying meal than anything carb-based (even oatmeal). They&#8217;re quick to fix, too&#8230; and are a fantastic vehicle for veggies.\u00a0Veggie omelettes and scrambles are great.\u00a0 Some combos I like are zucchini\/herbs\/reduced fat feta, spinach\/mushroom\/parmesan and red pepper\/onion\/salsa with a sprinkle of sharp cheddar.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll chase one of these\u00a0concoctions with some fresh fruit (berries, pineapple or citrus) and am pretty much set for the next 3 &#8211; 4 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I suspect that there&#8217;s nothing special per se about eggs, other than they&#8217;re a great source of high quality protein. So if you can&#8217;t stand eggs (and some people can&#8217;t), subbing some other solid protein source\u00a0will work just as well. There&#8217;s really no need to consume traditional\u00a0breakfast foods at breakfast,\u00a0after all\u00a0&#8211; if grilled salmon and herb-sauteed vegetables are nutritious at 7:00 p.m., they&#8217;re just as nutritious at 7:00 a.m. Go for whatever (high-protein) entree floats your boat.<\/p>\n<p>The point is, skip the toast, cereal, pancakes\/waffles, muffins and bagels &#8211; go for a breakfast that has staying power. Eggs &#8211; and other high\u00a0quality protein sources &#8211; are where it&#8217;s at.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/20226994\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Study abstract here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve blogged about the virtues of eggs before, but there&#8217;s more news on that front&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[23,28],"tags":[303,559,572,1862,1725],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/ufb-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3358"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/ufb-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/ufb-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/ufb-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/ufb-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3358"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/ufb-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3358\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8944,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/ufb-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3358\/revisions\/8944"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/ufb-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/ufb-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3358"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/ufb-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
