Eggs for Breakfast – It’s Like Magic!

The incomparable Helen Dutton of 8:30am Concord fame shared an article with me this morning that is definitely worth forwarding, and paying attention to!

It seems like eating a little fat and protein in the morning and keeping fat and calories low in the evening might actually be good for you! Who knew?  🙂

According to research at the University of Connecticut, those who ate eggs at breakfast ate 112 fewer calories at an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet three hours later than did those who ate a bagel for breakfast. Not only that, they consumed 400 fewer calories over the next 24 hours than did the bagel crunchers.

That is huge!

A pound of fat stores approximately 3500 calories of energy. The extra 400 calories would add up to a pound of fat every 9 days or so. Over the course of a year overeating 400 calories a day would add an extra 40 pounds on the backside (and other places).

I love eggs, but I know that is not the case for everybody. The point is to eat SOME sort of protein rich breakfast, and leave the bagels, donuts and boxed cereal alone. There is a commercial I saw the other day that says “Our cereal has as much protein as an egg”.

Well here’s an idea guys – Just Eat The Egg!

Make It Happen,
