That headline is usually clickbait, but hereβs the truth doctors and nutrition experts actually agree on when it comes to eating eggs in the morning ππ₯
π³ What Eating Eggs in the Morning REALLY Causes
β 1. Longer-Lasting Fullness
- Eggs are high in protein and healthy fats
- They help you feel full longer, which can:
- Reduce snacking
- Support weight control
π Many studies show people who eat eggs for breakfast often eat fewer calories later in the day.

- Especially helpful for people with insulin resistance or diabetes (when eaten without sugary sides)

- Memory

- Brain health
Most people donβt get enough choline β eggs are one of the best sources.
