Is a boiled egg good for weight loss?
Eggs are one of the best weight-loss foods: high in protein, low in calories and very filling. Two boiled eggs at breakfast can keep you full for hours.
Healthier ways to eat a boiled egg
- Boil or poach instead of frying to save 40 to 50 calories per egg.
- Add vegetables to egg bhurji for fibre and volume.
- Eat the yolk too unless your doctor advises otherwise; it holds most of the vitamins.
