Chicken eggs are not only a familiar food source but also an effective "weapon" for weight loss if you know how to use them. According to Medical News Today, eggs are low in calories but rich in protein, helping to create a feeling of fullness for a long time, reduce cravings and limit calorie intake during the day.
1. Low in calories but rich in protein
A boiled egg has only about 70 - 77 calories but provides up to 6g of protein. According to a nutritionist from the Mayo Clinic, eating eggs for breakfast helps maintain energy and reduce hunger for many hours afterwards.
2. Protein promotes metabolism
Healthline said that the protein in eggs requires a lot of energy to digest, creating a thermogenic effect, thereby helping to burn more calories. Some studies have also shown that people who eat eggs in the morning tend to eat less throughout the day.
3. Comprehensive nutritional benefits
Eggs not only support weight loss but also contain vitamins A, D, B12, choline and lutein. According to verywell Health, these are important nutrients that help protect the eyes, brain and metabolism of the body.
4. How to use it effectively
Experts recommend eating 1 egg a day, processed simply as boiled, poached or fried with less oil. Times of India quoted Dr. Pal Manickam as saying that boiled eggs are an optimal choice for people who want to lose weight, because they do not add fat from fat.
