Darling Downs Fresh Eggs Rich in Protein for longer lasting energy

November 7, 2011

Eggs are one of the most affordable sources of high quality protein. They contain all 9 essential amino acids that your body cannot produce naturally. Regarded as the building blocks of the body, amino acids help form protein and are vital to your body’s health.

Protein is an important part of every cell in your body. Protein provides building blocks for tissue growth and repair, serves as enzymes and hormones, helps your body maintain a healthy metabolism and supplies energy (calories) for your body to work. It also, helps your body fight infections and keeps body fluids in balance. Eating protein-rich foods helps keep you feeling full longer. This is because protein helps your body control the rate at which calories are absorbed. An egg in the morning can help curb afternoon cravings and unhealthy snacking.

Protein is found in both the egg yolk and white. Eat the whole egg to benefit from its full energy potential.
