Diet, Nutrition and SupplementationPost here for supplement reviews or nutritional advice. If you're trying to get "ripped abz" THIS is where you should be.
Dunno if the egg industry sponsored the research, but I'm the living proof of how beneficial eggs are for dieting.. love love love eggs : in the morning, afternoon as well as sometimes even at night. I'd never have been able to survive the 3 months of intermittent fasting with a 12 hr of fast after breakfast!
The article by Nikhil Dhurandhar is still to be published in the International Journal of Obesity, but the results were publicised early in the summer of 2007. Web logs picked up on them at the time: eggs for breakfast make losing weight easier.
Dang.. I knew this article seemed like old news, it *is* already 1 yr, yet it's still hasn't been published.
There's a couple of graphs in the article so I'm not copying all of it..
BTW, there's a few too many people here who only eat egg whites.. don't! BIG big big difference between egg whites and whole eggs when it comes to satiety!
Funny, I've had a breakfast of 3 eggs (sunny-side up) w a slice of smoked salmon for over a year. I'd read in the Protein Power Life Plan book you aren't supposed to break the yolk.
However, then I read they were eating omelettes themselves and since then I've been eating omelettes: 3 eggs, 10g coconut & fruit (a sliced apple or frozen raspberries or raisins etc.)
At night I occasionally add an egg and like stirring it around , so you get egg drop soup.

Curious... did they state any reason for that rule? It doesn't make much sense to me -- everything gets mixed up in your digestive tract anyway.

Love my eggs - every morning except in IF days. My 91 year old, a little worse for the wear, mom has had two a day for life - except when she forgets she already has had them, and asks for more. At her age whatever she wants, hell, as my age whatever I want.
Scrambled eight of them this morning, mixed with spinach and shiitake mushrooms, for my breakfast with RedWifey (five eggs for me, three for her). We eat that at least three mornings per week and have been for years.

How long does it take for the cholesterol to oxidize? Obviously longer than the, say, 5 seconds it takes to chew and swallow a previously unbroken yolk but less than the 5 minutes it would take to scramble, cook and eat an egg.

I don't know, just know that once upon a time I never scrambled eggs or made omelettes for that reason and then suddenly stopped caring. I should be eating more boiled eggs or whole eggs, but omelettes taste too awesome to stop eating them.
Doesn't cooking in general promote oxidation in foods?
Yup, it sure does. Not to mention the enzymatic processes and general rumblings and stuff going on in your gut. I don't see how avoiding breaking the yolk is going to have more than an absurdly miniscule difference.

Nah, the phenols and stuff are in RED wine. But pour me a glass of that Chuck, anyway!

Once again, eat your (whole) eggs!
