4. Satisfying: Eggs are satisfying. Their moderate fat content keeps your stomach from emptying too quickly. So you wont feel starved – or be tempted to snack.

6. Essential Amino Acids: Eggs contain complete proteins. All the amino acids your body needs are found in an egg in just the right proportions – making it easy to build and maintain lean body mass.

7. Portion Control: Eggs come in their own neat little package, so you can make the exact amount needed – whether you’re serving one or twenty.

8. Value: One egg has as much protein as an ounce of lean meat, poultry, or fish. Pound for pound, it’s a better protein buy.
