    It bears out a study they did where they fed one group of women eggs for breakfast, and the other group the same calories worth of bagel. Each group ate ad lib for the rest of the day. The egg group lost lots more weight, inches and bodyfat than the bagel group, and (even after 12 weeks of 2-3 eggs a day) without putting their cholesterol up.

    Why do you reckon that is?

    eggs?

    eggs are filling, no insulin spike, so no hunger an hour later. I love bagels, but I can't eat them, because they run close to 300 calories before you put a scape of butter on them, and I am starving again far too quickly.

    Eggs are full of protein - protein fills you up and keeps you satisfied for longer.

    Bagels are high GI - your body digests them quickly and so you feel hungrier sooner.

    The lower GI a food is, the longer it will keep you full (such as the bread eaten in the OP's breakfast, that's a low GI bread and so will add to the full feeling provided by the eggs).

    You could have had 3 fried eggs (with the butter you used) and white bread for toast and eaten pretty much the same meal but felt hungrier sooner.

    Very good and interesting, thanks. I hadn't thought of it in those terms
