According to Kat: “2 large eggs are 140 calories, 12g protein and 10g fat.” She said that was ‘not enough to support your fat loss efforts’ for the following two main reasons:

⦿ “It doesn’t have nearly enough protein to support muscle, protein synthesis (MPS) which helps your body repair and build muscle tissue. You need about 30 gram of protein to stimulate this,” Kat said.

⦿ “It doesn’t have enough protein (or fat, or calories) to keep you satiated for long enough before you are reaching for snacks (or something sweet),” she added.
