• The American College of Nutrition is touting results of a study that found eggs are better than bagels at curbing the appetite.
• As Canadians from coast-to-coast vow to improve their health in 2006, the results of a recently-released study suggest that eggs, an excellent source of high-quality protein, may play an important role in promoting weight loss and satiety.
• The study, published in the latest issue of the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, found that eating two eggs for breakfast, instead of a small bagel, reduced hunger and caloric intake at lunch and over the next 24 hours.
• Study participants received one of two breakfasts with the same caloric and weight value: the first group ate two scrambled eggs and two slices of toast with low-calorie jelly, while the second group ate a 3 1/2-in.
• bagel with cream cheese and a small container of fat-free yogurt.
• The results showed that the first group, who ate eggs, had an average 163 fewer calories at lunch that day.
• "It only takes a couple of minutes to cook eggs in the microwave --- making them a great weekday breakfast for people who don't have a lot of time to spare in the morning," says Kim Kesseler, registered dietitian and nutrition officer with the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency.
• Kessler added that Canadians concerned with obesity can be assured that eggs are nutritious.
• "A serving of two large eggs contains 12 grams of protein and 14 essential nutrients."
• While previous research focused on the effects of protein-based breakfasts studied non-obese subjects, this study group consisted of 28 overweight and obese women with a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 25 or higher (the clinical marker for obesity).
