12 Things That Happen To Your Body When You Eat Eggs

11. Satiate Your Hunger and Make You Eat Less

Eggs are not only a great source of many essential nutrients, they also have an interesting effect on the body due to the high levels of protein in them. Researchers have concluded that a general diet of high-protein foods can affect the appetite, meaning they make you feel fuller, thereby discouraging you to eat more. High-protein foods are also good as a quick snack as you’ll need to eat way less to feel full for way longer.

Compared to all other types of protein, eggs fare a lot better. In fact, they get a perfect score of a 100! Eggs also score extremely high on something called the Satiety Index which is a measure of how full people feel after eating certain types of food.
