Diet and exercise are both important when it comes to losing weight

A filling breakfast can set slimmers up for the day and promote weight loss.

Eating eggs in the morning could be the best way to slim down, experts have said.


Research has shown eating the high-protein food for breakfast can speed up weight loss results.

One study published in the National Library of Medicine (NIH) found an egg-based breakfast enhanced weight loss in overweight and obese participants.

This was compared to having bagels for breakfast and when the eggs were eaten for breakfast as part of a calorie-controlled diet.

This comes as experts shared the daily breakfast swaps to make to slim down.

Eggs are high in protein which can leave slimmers feeling more satisfied and reduce their appetite.

Eating protein at every meal can help cut back on the amount of food one person eats throughout the day.

Another study published in NIH showed long-term clinical trials of six to 12 months showed high protein diets had great weight loss effects.

Not only did they help with weight loss, but those who ate high protein were less likely to regain the weight after slimming.

How much protein do you need?

Eating protein at every meal is key to getting enough of the macronutrient in the diet.

Filling up on 1.6 grams per kg of body weight can help with weight loss and reduce body fat, according to a review published in Science Direct.

Sources of protein include meat, fish, dairy, eggs, nuts, seeds and tofu.

Experts said Britons can lose weight and reduce body fat by eating more protein every day.

They explained: "Protein is an essential nutrient that plays a vital role in many bodily functions, including building and repairing tissues, maintaining and building muscle mass, supporting bone health, and regulating hormones and enzymes."
