Eggs are high in protein
As we said before, eggs contain protein that is essential for your body to work properly. Not only are they good for your overall health, but protein can also help you lose some extra pounds, as they can keep you feel fuller for longer. Nutritionists recommend that you opt for eggs in your diet, especially if you don’t prefer meat at all.
“One large egg has about six grams of high-quality protein, making them a good choice as part of an eating pattern that supports a healthy weight,” Knott says.
Protein can help you increase your athletic performance as well, especially because they help your metabolism moving quickly and keep your energy levels high.
Egg whites are famous for their source of protein, but you can find a few amounts even in an egg yolk. Nutritionists recommend that you eat the whole egg if you want to reap all the protein.
Choose your protein source wisely, because “traditional protein sources aren’t usually grabbed and go. And if they are, they’re often processed, fried, or unhealthy,” says nutrition expert Angela Ginn, RD, a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association.
