Patient-Friendly Explanation

Eggs are an affordable, high-quality source of protein that help you feel full for longer. Having eggs, especially at breakfast, may help you eat less later in the day. For most people, one or two eggs a day is perfectly healthy as part of a balanced diet.

Clinical Definition

A large egg provides about 6 g of high-biological-value protein and 70 kcal, and eggs rank among the most satiating common foods on the satiety index. Randomised trials show egg-based breakfasts reduce subsequent energy intake and hunger ratings compared with isocaloric carbohydrate-based breakfasts, and intakes of up to one egg daily are not associated with increased cardiovascular risk in healthy individuals or in people with type 2 diabetes. Egg protein also supports lean mass preservation during caloric restriction.
