When you’re trying to lose weight, the foods you eat play the most important role in your results – even more than exercise. It is necessary to ensure you eat a lot of protein, vitamins and minerals to help your body stay healthy and reach and maintain a good weight. One of the best foods you can eat to achieve this is eggs.
Eggs are a fantastic source of protein, essential fatty acids and vitamins B, D and E. They are an excellent way to bring all of these nutrients into your diet because they are both inexpensive and versatile. A carton of eggs costs less than $3 and can contribute to a week’s worth of meals, for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Plus, eggs taste very good and can be prepared in many different ways.
