Eating eggs for breakfast helps reduce calorie consumption throughout the day

El_Dangeroso

I love eggs..

From: http://www.physorg.com/news189782584.html

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 Nutrition Research, 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)

So if your gonna eat toast, make sure there's at least an egg on top of it!

Me too. Had some pretty great scrambled eggs this morning. Really sets you up for the day!

I eat two eats most days. no bread, no top of a thick slice of lean ham.

THe eggs are 120-150 cals dependin on the size I get, the ham is 63. Great breakfast, only 200 cals, fills me for the day. And is very fat to whip up. As quick as a slice as toast.

eh what? Have I lost the ability to read or have you been swapping words around?!?

Seriously though - I'm guessing not fried, but poached, boiled, scrambled???

I believe the study used scrambled egg, but fried egg would be the same effect. I use avocado oil to fry as it's very stable at frying temperatures.

Ya my appetite has deccreased massively since I started eating eggs every day its amazing! Only problem is the omega eggs taste really strongly of fish to me which I find very off putting. I feel like I'm eating fish and can barely taste the eggs although the yolk is better than the white. Anyone else notice this? I have an absurdly sensitive sense of taste which can be unfortunate at times, the boyf thinks I'm mad. I was thinking it might be that they feed the chickens fish meal?

Can't beat eggs in the morning (sorry ), great brekkie.

Seriously though, Omega eggs, why would you?

I would notice the fish too but the Aldi omega ones I get defo don't taste that strong!!! Maybe if they are organic they might taste stronger!?

Out of interest, wondering how you prepare/make the scrambled egges to keep the calories to a min:

2 eggs
remove the yolks
skimmed milk
salt and pepper

????????

I get organic eggs in Superquinn or Tesco, not omega eggs, I prefer to avoid some of the toxins than to get the extra omega3 and we supplement with omega3 anyway.

Why would you remove the yolk?? I may be corrected but IMO yolks are the best part?? Also throwing out the yolks is a total waste!!!!!

To keep the calories to a min, I take out the yolk... tastes the same, just less calories.

Most of the time I have an omelette adding mushrooms and tomatoes to beef it up because I think scrambled eggs on their own can be a bit lacking.

Eat the yolk people there is loads of goodness in there.

I'm curious, is it just me that finds a boiled egg much more filling than say an omelette or a scrambled egg

It's probably because of the extra time it takes to eat it. I can gobble scrambled or fried eggs up in seconds. Your stomach is slow realise it's full so dragging out the eating for an extra few minutes will mean you'll be more satisfied when you're finished.

Yes, definitely, but I do eat it with about 30g of butter, so that might explain it.:D

if it was 6 easter eggs it would, you would be in a coma for about 48 hours so no further calories would be consumed:pac:

If you were going to use two eggs and remove the yolk, you might as well just use one,
also, the cals are hardly high. Scrambled eggs made with two eggs can hace less cals than two slices of toast. (obv depending on size of eggs/bread, averages people)

me_right_one

Sure its obvious. Protien satisfies you! Simple as!!!

I was always under the impression that frying foods (eggs etc..) was bad, why is that? or does it depend on what oil you use?

Tbh, frying anything at high temperatures carries the risk of damaging any fat, polyunsaturated fats like sunflower and other vegetable oils tend to oxidise much easier than others when heated. But even stable ones oxidise a little bit, which your body can deal with a little with it's own anti-oxidants.

It's ok to fry once in a while in a stable fat such as coconut or avocado, or at low temperature with butter, probably not a good idea to fry everything you eat though.:D

How do you make devilled kidneys? I bought kidneys once but they smelled of urine so I had to chuck them!

Shulgin

I had a boiled egg for breakfast and yes it does seem to be keeping away the rumbling belly.

ApeXaviour

One egg... at less than 100 calories I'm not surprised. Try eating 6 next time.

Thanks for the info!! I've actually gotten used to grilling/ovenbaking food and I don't miss frys, have the odd one but don't really miss them!!

I just use the good non stick pan and flip the eggs.
If there is residue from the ham steak, I might use a tiny spray of canola oil

That's part of the fun of eating kidneys, or so I'm told...you won't find non-smelly ones anyways.

Darkginger

Can't say I noticed mine (kidneys) smelling of anything, but then I didn't actually sniff them What I did was cut them into pieces, holding the core and snipping round it with scissors, then into a pan (having discarded the core) with a knob of butter, cooked through, then added a splosh (technical term that) of Worcester sauce, about 1/2 tsp Colman's English Mustard, a generous squeeze of lemon juice, a pinch of chilli powder, 1/2 tsp of tomato puree, and some freshly ground black pepper. Shook it all around a bit until the kidneys were coated, then used a slotted spoon to put them on my plate.

Made a really nice change!

Non-stick pans come with their own dangers, best avoided IMHO. Coconut oil has a high burn temp, so doesn't hydrogenate when you fry with it. It also has all sorts of lovely goodness in it, so cooking your morning eggs in it is the perfect way to start the day (with grilled mushrooms and tomatos *drool*).

they are fine as long as the coating is intact - when it gets scratched or starts pitting throw the pan away

Absolutely - the minute it's damaged, bit it. There are also gases that are released:
"At 680°F Teflon pans release at least six toxic gases, including two carcinogens, two global pollutants, and MFA, a chemical lethal to humans at low doses. At temperatures that DuPont scientists claim are reached on stovetop drip pans (1000°F), non-stick coatings break down to a chemical warfare agent known as PFIB, and a chemical analog of the WWII nerve gas phosgene"

I personally think that a good ol fashioned cast iron pan is the way to go, can't go wrong with one (unless you drop it on your foot of course)

These people are trying to tell us Teflon is safe. What absolute nonsense. I stopped using their stuff years ago which is why I'm still alive or maybe what saved me was thowing out the microwave when I found out it was so dangerous.

Yeah but low cal diet restricts oil and all that. (I'm not low fat, hence two eggs and ham, just try to keep all meals low)

Agreed on binning it once damaged.

As for temp, would a stove get to 1000, steel glows is red hot just above this.
