One of the best foods to start your day with is also one of the most popular: eggs.
Eggs are a great option for anyone looking for a high-protein food to kickstart their day.

They are also a versatile food, so you can easily incorporate them into your regular diet without getting bored.
Eggs offer plenty of benefits, particularly for those who are trying to lose weight. Healthline explains, "Eggs are a high-protein food that may help reduce hunger, increase fullness, boost fat burning and protect heart health."
