Is Eating Eggs Good For Weight Loss?

Are eggs good for weight loss? Will eating eggs make you lose weight or gain weight?

It all depends how you eat your eggs.  Do you eat them plain or do you add bacon, cheese and mayo?

Plain eggs are good for people who are trying to lose weight.  A large egg has 80 calories, 5 grams of fat and 6 grams of protein.  The protein in eggs makes you full.  When you are full, you are less likely to eat unhealthy fattening snacks.

A breakfast of 2 eggs is 160 calories, 10 grams of fat and 12 grams of protein.  Egg breakfast will help you stay full until lunch.  Breakfasts high in carbs (such as pancakes, waffles or toast) just make you even hungrier.  Therefore, protein breakfast (like eggs) is a much better choice for weight loss.

In order for eggs to be a good food for weight loss, you should eat them plain, or add healthy stuff like lean meat and veggies.  If you are on a diet, don’t add cheese!  Don’t add bacon!  Don’t add the hollandaise sauce! Don’t fry the eggs in oil!

Healthy ways to cook eggs is scrambled (without oil), poached or hard-boiled.  For scrambled eggs, use a non-stick frying pan with a non-stick cooking spray.  To easily poach the eggs, use the microwavable egg poacher gadget. Eggs cooked without added fat are a great part of a weight loss regimen.

Eggs are high in cholesterol.  If you are watching your cholesterol, use the egg whites without the egg yolks.  If you only use the egg whites, you’ll cut all the cholesterol plus all the fat from the eggs! Egg whites are fat-free and cholesterol-free.

If you don’t like the taste of all-egg-white omelette, use this trick: 1 whole egg + 2 egg whites.  This way you’ll get half of the cholesterol and fat than you’d get if you used 2 whole eggs.
