http://www.bhf.org.uk/default.aspx?page=14647The benefits of eating a good breakfast are well known and now new research presented on Saturday show that eating egg proteins for breakfast instead of wheat could help people fight hunger pangs, according to the British Heart Foundation.
The findings of the study were announced at the European Congress on Obesity. It was found that participants who ate an egg for breakfast were less hungry during the morning and did not eat as much at lunchtime.
Commenting in a press release, Tracy Parker, Heart Health Dietitian at the British Heart Foundation (BHF), said:
“This finding could help people who are trying to lose weight or stop snacking. It shows the quality of protein in your diet, rather than the quantity, can affect how full you feel."
“However, as the study was funded by the American Egg Board, it did not look into other high quality proteins. Further comparison of the effect of lean meat, poultry and fish on appetite should be explored."
“An egg breakfast could keep you from mid-morning snacking but remember to use healthier cooking methods. Try boiling or poaching eggs rather than frying and avoid adding butter to scrambled eggs.”
