That's Fit

What did your breakfast consist of this morning (that is, assuming you even ate breakfast)? A bowl of cereal? A yogurt that you basically drank from the carton while you drove to work? A bagel and coffee?

Why not eggs?

Eggs have been the topic of some controversy ever since the question of the yolk's supposedly high cholesterol came into play. However, more recent studies have shown these concerns to be unwarranted, and that eating eggs is among the healthiest ways to start your day. Here's why.

A University of St. Louis study found that eating eggs for breakfast will make you feel full longer and subsequently eat fewer calories at lunch than people who ate a bagel.

Researchers from the University of Nebraska found that Omega-3-enriched eggs have an equal amount of these healthy fatty acids as three ounces of salmon.

A study published in the Journal of Nutrition reveals that your body may absorb more of the antioxidant lutein from eggs than any other source, making eggs a powerful fighter against macular degeneration.
