According to a recent survey, the majority of parents agree that eggs are a more nutritious breakfast than cereal.
July 17/Park Ridge, Ill./Press Release -- It is essential to provide children with a nutritious breakfast that will stick with them when they ease into the back-to-school routine. Studies show that eating breakfast before school has continuously shown positive effects in children, including higher test scores and attendance. But what is the best option? According to a recent survey conducted by the American Egg Board (AEB), the vast majority of parents (82%) agree that eggs are a more nutritious breakfast than cereal.
A recent study conducted at the University of Missouri found that teenagers who consumed breakfast meals that included protein-rich eggs and beef (35g of protein) reported greater feelings of fullness compared to those who ate a cereal-based breakfast (13g of protein). The egg breakfast also led to significant improvements in daily hunger and satiety hormone levels, reduced food cravings prior to dinner and resulted in eating less high-fat evening snacks.
