Eggs are getting a second look from nutritionists. Due to concerns about dietary cholesterol, eggs have been on the restricted list for many patients. But new studies have singled out eggs as weight-loss enhancers and state that there is no increased risk of heart disease from the consumption of eggs.

Researchers found that women who ate eggs for breakfast, five days a week or more, lost significantly more weight, up to 65% more, on a 1000 calorie a day diet than those who ate a bagel containing the same number of calories as the eggs. Other studies that recommend increasing choline consumption are cited because eggs are an excellent source of choline. Choline is essential for normal cell and brain function.
