Doctors reveal that eating eggs in the morning causes …

1. Boosts Satiety and Reduces Snacking

One of the most widely studied benefits of a morning egg is its ability to keep you full for hours.

Dr. Sarah Thompson, a registered dietitian, explains:

“Eggs are high in protein, which slows digestion and helps maintain steady blood sugar levels. People who eat eggs for breakfast often report less snacking and smaller portions at lunch, which can support weight management.”

A 2018 study in the International Journal of Obesity found that participants who ate eggs for breakfast consumed fewer calories over the course of the day compared to those who ate a bagel-based breakfast.

2. May Spike Cholesterol for Some People

Eggs are rich in dietary cholesterol, which is not harmful for most people, but individual responses vary.

“Some people—roughly 25%—are ‘hyper-responders,’ meaning eating eggs regularly can temporarily raise LDL cholesterol levels,” says Dr. Michael Rivera, a cardiologist.

For those with a history of heart disease or high cholesterol, moderation is key: 3–4 eggs per week is usually safe, while combining eggs with fiber-rich vegetables can help mitigate potential risks.

3. Can Improve Brain Function and Mood

Egg yolks are rich in choline, a nutrient essential for brain health, memory, and mood regulation. Eating eggs in the morning provides a quick, concentrated dose of choline that can support cognitive performance throughout the day.

Dr. Thompson adds:

“A single large egg contains about 30% of your recommended daily intake of choline. This is particularly beneficial for students, professionals, and anyone needing mental focus.”

4. May Affect Blood Sugar if Combined with Refined Carbs

Eating eggs alone is generally safe for blood sugar, but pairing them with high-glycemic foods like white bread or sugary cereal can lead to spikes in glucose levels.

“Eggs themselves are low in carbs, but what you eat with them matters,” Dr. Rivera cautions. “Combine eggs with whole grains, vegetables, or healthy fats to maintain steady blood sugar.”
