Eggs

Eggs are one of the nature's best foods. They are the highest on the Biological value list(a measure of how easily the protein gets absorbed from various foods). Eggs are also loaded with nutrients your body needs, such as choline for brain health and reducing inflammationm folate, iron, zinc, lutein and zeaxanthin for brain health, and ofcourse the fuel for muscle(Protein). In addition to that, they may help you lose weight. In one study, scientists put overweight and obese adults on a reduced-calorie, low fat diet and divided them into two groups: one group consumed two eggs as breakfast and the other group ate same amount of calories from bagels. The egg-diet group had a 65% greater weight loss than the bagel-diet group, and 83% greater decrease in waist circumference over eight weeks.
