This is the second post about a food that will help you feel full longer, keeping hunger pains away thus keeping you from reaching for a snack an hour after your meal. Today's food is eggs, a great breakfast food. One of the great things about eggs is the variety of ways they can be prepared. If you don't enjoy them one way, try another way. I personally can't stand to eat a fried or poached egg. But I do enjoy scrambled eggs, deviled eggs and an egg on a sandwich. An egg is very versatile.
An American Journal of Clinical Nutrition investigation found that people who ate two eggs for breakfast during a three-month study period reported less hunger and increased satiety post-breakfast than did those who consumed an egg-free meal. And here's an important thing to know, the high egg diet had no detrimental impact on blood cholesterol numbers (I'm sure they weren't fried in bacon fat.). Other benefits of eggs; they provide lots of protein for relatively a few calories, a high protein breakfast can reduce levels of circulating ghrelin, an appetite-stoking hormone.
Note, if you are at risk of heart disease you should probably eat eggs in moderation.
