Editor`s notes: Eggs are a great source of protein. The yolk is rich in vitamin A, B vitamins, calcium and iron. Eating an egg for breakfast along with a couple of bread slices and a fruit is a good weight loss strategy as it keeps you feeling full longer and prevents you from reaching out for your mid-morning snack.
