Now that runny eggs are safe, we’re giving your breakfast culinary carte blanche
How do you like your eggs in the morning? Nutritionists have put runny eggs squarely back on the menu, as new science from the Food Standards Agency claims lightly cooked eggs are safe for consumption by all. The US National Library of Medicine claims those who eat eggs for breakfast every day could lose weight up to 65% faster. To answer our original question, we'd go for any one of these protein-rich, satiating egg recipes. Cracking stuff.
Eggs deserve far more than a fortnightly cramming between a couple of bacon rashers and doorstep bread after an over-indulgent night. (Although, obviously, they’re excellent for that too.) Eggs are man’s cheapest, most versatile fuel. High in protein and also a great source of choline – essential for maintaining healthy brain function – they’re the thinking gym-goer's staple.
Interestingly, eggs used to get a bad rap from doctors, who warned against their high fat content and consequent risk of high cholesterol and heart disease. However, recent research has proved the effects of eggs are more dependent upon what you eat with them with. In Japan men consume a world leading 328 eggs per year but also have one of the lowest levels of cholesterol and heart disease. The reason? They eat their eggs in more ways than the aforementioned bacon and egg butty.
