The One Metabolism-Boosting Food You Should Be Having Every Morning To Get A Flat Stomach Fast

Eggs

High in protein, with just 78 calories per egg and virtually no sugar, eggs are among the healthiest foods you can eat for breakfast or any other time of the day. Like all protein-rich foods, eggs require more energy output from your body to digest them.

And that’s exactly why they effectively boost your metabolism.

In a process called thermogenesis, your body uses up more calories than usual to digest an egg, which of course means you burn more calories by simply eating these foods.

Of all food types, those with protein produce the greatest thermic effect. According to Healthline: “they increase your metabolic rate by 15–30%, compared to 5–10% for carbs and 0–3% for fats.”

Aside from their thermic effect, eggs keep you fuller for longer and contribute to helping you build more muscle, which in turn helps you burn more fat.

When it comes to picking and choosing healthy breakfast foods that boost your metabolism, it doesn’t get better than the simple — but incredibly nutritious —  protein-rich egg.
