Doctors Reveal That Eating Eggs in the Morning Causes…
Eggs have long been a breakfast staple, celebrated for their protein, vitamins, and versatility. But recent research has revealed that eating eggs first thing in the morning can have surprising effects on your body—some beneficial, some that may require caution.
1. Boosts Satiety and Reduces Snacking
One of the most widely studied benefits of a morning egg is its ability to keep you full for hours.
Dr. Sarah Thompson, a registered dietitian, explains:
“Eggs are high in protein, which slows digestion and helps maintain steady blood sugar levels. People who eat eggs for breakfast often report less snacking and smaller portions at lunch, which can support weight management.”
A 2018 study in the International Journal of Obesity found that participants who ate eggs for breakfast consumed fewer calories over the course of the day compared to those who ate a bagel-based breakfast.
2. May Spike Cholesterol for Some People
Eggs are rich in dietary cholesterol, which is not harmful for most people, but individual responses vary.
“Some people—roughly 25%—are ‘hyper-responders,’ meaning eating eggs regularly can temporarily raise LDL cholesterol levels,” says Dr. Michael Rivera, a cardiologist.
For those with a history of heart disease or high cholesterol, moderation is key: 3–4 eggs per week is usually safe, while combining eggs with fiber-rich vegetables can help mitigate potential risks.
3. Can Improve Brain Function and Mood
Egg yolks are rich in choline, a nutrient essential for brain health, memory, and mood regulation. Eating eggs in the morning provides a quick, concentrated dose of choline that can support cognitive performance throughout the day.
