Are Boiled Eggs Good For Weight Loss?

Who doesn't like a nice breakfast with some delicious eggs whether boiled, scrambled, poached, fried or omelet? Eggs are highly popular. Whenever I go to stay in a hotel and have an American breakfast buffet, there is always a queue at the egg station. Many people simply love eggs. Unfortunately, eggs have been getting a bad rap due to its high cholesterol content and as a result, some people avoid them like the plague or eat very few of them for fear of getting a stroke or heart attack. Some people whose goal is to lose weight often exclude eggs totally from their diet as not only they think eggs are unhealthy but they are not beneficial for weight loss as well. These people can't be blamed totally as they have been misinformed or simply listen to other people's wrong advice.

Instead of having an apprehension of eggs for heart diseases or weight loss related issues, consider all the other factors which are primarily the culprit of obesity and health disorders. A poor diet, smoking, a sedentary lifestyle and junk foods are some of the major causes of obesity. Contrary to popular belief, eggs are not responsible for heart diseases. In fact, you can safely consume 1 whole egg every day. People who are more active in exercising and weight training for instance can even consume more than that as eggs are a vital source of high quality and complete protein with a high biological value(BV).

Although it's true that eggs have a high amount of cholesterol due to its yolk, it has been proven that dietary cholesterol has no effect in raising blood cholesterol levels which can lead to heart problems. Instead, the main culprit is saturated fats. That's why if you were to eat greasy and fatty foods loaded with saturated fats on a regular basis, you increase your chances in getting a stroke rather than simply eating a mere egg every day. The egg yolk has saturated fats but it's very minimal about 1.5 grams. As in everything in life, moderation is key. Don't go and eat 5-10 whole eggs every day. The saturated fats will add up and this won't be too healthy.

If your main worry is on the egg yolk and its cholesterol content, you're missing out on many of the health benefits eggs provide. Some people will even throw away the yolk and eat only the whites but in fact they are getting rid of all the valuable nutrients. If you don't know yet, the egg yolk is loaded with vitamins and minerals including riboflavin, thiamine, vitamin A, D, E, B6, B12, iron, magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, potassium, folate, pantothenic acid and last but not least, choline.

Choline is a water-soluble vital nutrient and has many functions. Some of them include brain development and promoting weight loss. But how can choline help you in trimming off those excess pounds? Choline helps in the metabolization of fats and use those fats to provide energy. When fats are metabolized, this results in greater satiety and a reduction in calorie intake. The outcome is more weight loss. A large boiled egg contains 113 mg of choline and a person's daily choline requirements is between 125-550 mg. Apart eggs, you can also get choline from other food sources like lentils, milk, peanuts etc…

A large boiled egg contains only 78 calories and can easily be used as a snack to keep hunger pangs at bay. If you can, opt for organic eggs as they are free of hormones or chemicals plus they are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids. These essential fatty acids(EFA's) have numerous weight loss benefits as well. So now, instead of worrying about eating eggs, start including them in your diet and continue with your weight loss efforts.
