For decades, eggs have been one of the most controversial foods on our plates. Some say they’re a superfood, others claim they’re full of cholesterol and should be avoided. But what do doctors actually say?
Recent research and medical experts are giving eggs a new reputation. According to nutritionists and cardiologists, eating three eggs a day can have amazing effects on the body—both good and bad.
1. Your body gets a nutrient boost
Eating three eggs a day can significantly increase your intake of high-quality protein, which helps repair tissues, build muscle, and keep you feeling full longer. The yolk, once unfairly considered unhealthy, is packed with antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which protect your eyes from age-related damage.
2. You may feel fuller and eat less overall
If you’re trying to lose or maintain your weight, eggs may be your secret weapon. Doctors often suggest them for breakfast because their combination of protein and healthy fats helps control hunger hormones.
A study published in the Journal of Nutrition found that people who started their morning with eggs consumed up to 400 fewer calories throughout the day. So, while three eggs may seem like a lot, they could actually help reduce your overall calorie intake, as long as they’re prepared healthily.
