To lose weight, we need to cut down on calories, but that doesn’t mean we have to compromise on taste or completely deny ourselves of foods we enjoy. A healthy balanced diet along with regular exercise over a sustained period of time will result in weight loss. Most dietary advice recommends following a low fat, high carbohydrate diet, but the latest evidence* suggests that by following the same low fat diet, but replacing some of the high carbohydrate foods with high protein foods such as eggs, fish or chicken, more weight is lost over a six month period. The reason for this is that high protein foods are more satiating than foods high in carbohydrate or fat, so you feel ‘fuller’ quicker and are therefore less likely to overeat.  Eggs are a great low calorie food that can be included in a weight reducing diet. A medium egg contains only 1.6g of saturated fat and just 76 calories. And, there’s no need to worry about cholesterol either, as we now know that it is saturated fat in the diet — in which eggs are relatively low — that is the main contributor to raised blood cholesterol levels. With this in mind, it is okay for most of us to eat an egg a day as part of a healthy balanced diet.
Many people blame a hectic lifestyle for eating high fat foods with most of us being guilty of resorting to microwave ready meals for ease and convenience. To help you out, we’ve produced a series of quick delicious fat and calorie counted recipes that enable you to eat your egg a day, as part of a healthy balanced diet. *Low-fat diets and energy balance: how does the evidence stand in 2002? These recipes are all fat and calorie counted, so you can keep an eye on that waistline!
