Eggs can help you lose weight

A large egg supplies only 74 calories or 3.7% of the Daily Value and when calories count it’s important to make sure that the body gets the maximum benefit from the foods eaten. The protein in eggs is the highest quality of all foods and is easily digested and absorbed by the body.

In addition, a single egg is filled with the following essential vitamins and minerals which can help you lose weight:

• Pantothenic Acid (7% Daily Value): Helps breakdown food and assists body cells in producing energy.
• Choline (23% Daily Value): Essential for normal functioning of all cells, including those involved with metabolism, brain and nerve function, memory, and the transportation of nutrients throughout the body. Choline also helps prevent birth defects, as well as helps promote brain and memory development in infants.

Finally, the mixture of fat in an egg is a highly favourable balance of only 1.5g saturated with 1.9g monounsaturated and 0.7g polyunsaturated fatty acid.
