In another study, overweight adults were calorie-restricted and given either two eggs (340 calories) or bagels for breakfast.
After eight weeks, the egg-eating group experienced the following:
- 61% greater reduction in BMI
- 65% more weight loss
- 34% greater reduction in waist circumference
- 16% greater reduction in body fat
This difference was significant even though both breakfasts contained the same number of calories.
Put simply, eating eggs is an excellent weight loss strategy on a reduced-calorie diet.
