Using eggs in the diet

Jules · Post by **Jules** » June 27th, 2009, 1:28 pm

Hi I am new to message boards and to LDL. I have been on the south Beach Diet before this, and was not that successful but loved all the healthy wholegrain foods...that is the way I like to eat.

A query about eggs....I see them as a protein, but am I right in thinking that you can eat them at breakfast as an alternative to fruit say? If so, how does it work with no

protein other than at my main meal...do I have this completely wrong and am complicating it?

Advice would be great....thank you in advance.

Jules

eggs are considered a "light" protein - when I first started I stuck to fruit for breakfast, but added eggs to that later on when I felt like it. I had scrambled eggs this morning with my fruit. Sometimes with my protein lunch, I include 2 hard-cooked egg whites. Some people eat eggs with home-made hummus or with refried beans. If you like eggs, have them a few times a week. I don't think I'd have them every day though.

Eggs can be eaten at any meal, without overdoing it. Whether you have your heavy protein at lunch, you may still have eggs for either breakfast or dinner, as long as you don't eat them everyday, as Jerzygrl mentioned.

Welcome.
I eat eggs on the mornings I have to work the farmers market. I am so busy it keeps me from getting so hungry to fast. Try them with betty's potato cakes . Beans will help you stay full longer.
