Eggs - Un oeuf is un oeuf (none / 0) (#1)
by sciencebase on Tue Aug 05, 2008 at 04:04:05 AM PST
A study published online today in the International Journal of Obesity shows that eating two eggs for breakfast, as part of a reduced-calorie diet, helps overweight adults lose more weight and feel more energetic than those who eat a bagel breakfast of equal calories. This study supports previous research, published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, which showed that people who ate eggs for breakfast felt more satisfied and ate fewer calories at the following meal. http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2008-08/epr-awe080408.php
