Tea egg VS boiled eggs, so choose during weight loss, easy to lose weight without rebounding

In front of the convenience store in the early morning, two seemingly ordinary eggs are staging a "divine fight" in the nutrition industry. On the left are Tea egg with amber luster, and on the right are plain boiled eggs. Which one should you reach for during the weight loss period? Don't rush to make a choice, first take a look at the scientific truth behind this competition.

I. Calority duel: who is more suitable for the diet

1. Basic calorie comparison

The same 50g boiled egg contains about 78 calories, and the same weight of Tea egg has slightly increased to about 85 calories due to long-term evaporation of brine water. However, when actually eaten, the shelled Tea egg are often 10-15% lighter than boiled eggs, and the actual intake of calories may be lower.

2. Hidden heat trap

The Tea egg sold in the market may have the problem that the brine is too salty and the soup is thick due to repeated boiling. Some businesses will add sugar or monosodium glutamate for flavoring. If the homemade version can control the amount of soy sauce and spices used, it can completely avoid this risk.

3. Persistence of satiety

The protein content of the two is equivalent (about 6g/piece), but the complex aroma of Tea egg can slow down the eating speed. Experiments have shown that foods that require chewing more than 21 times are more likely to generate satiety signals.

II. Nutrition retention: scientific game of cooking methods

1. Vitamin preservation

Short term high-temperature treatment of boiled eggs has less damage to vitamin B group, while Tea egg stewed for a long time will cause some water-soluble vitamins to lose into brine. However, eggs are not the main source of vitamins, and this difference can be ignored.

2. Mineral changes

Tea egg will absorb potassium, magnesium and other minerals in the soup during the brine processing, but the sodium content also increases significantly. The sodium content of an ordinary Tea egg may be 3-5 times that of a boiled egg, which is not friendly to the edema prone constitution.

3. Protein Utilization

Both methods do not significantly alter protein structure, and the digestion and absorption rates are above 90%. However, the protease inhibitor of Tea egg is destroyed more thoroughly, and it is more gentle for those who are sensitive to the stomach and intestines.

III. Practical Guide: Golden Choices for Different Scenarios

1. Preferred Breakfast Plan

When metabolism is high in the morning, it is recommended to choose boiled eggs with lower salt content. Paired with whole wheat bread and vegetables, it can stabilize the morning blood sugar curve and avoid thirst and overeating caused by excessive sodium intake.

2. Add meals after exercise

Within 30 minutes after training, the salty taste of Tea egg can stimulate appetite faster and help supplement protein in time. At this time, the body's demand for sodium temporarily increases, and moderate intake is actually beneficial for electrolyte balance.

3. Emergency strategy for taking out food

When shopping in convenience stores, observe the degree of cracks in Tea egg - the brine preparation time is shorter if the shell is less damaged, and the sodium penetration is less. Paired with sugar free tea drinks or lemon water, it can accelerate sodium metabolism. In fact, there is no absolute winner or loser in this competition. The smart way to eat is to alternate and choose according to the body rhythm. Under the premise of controlling the total amount, 1-2 eggs a day, whether the mellow flavor of Tea egg or the pureness of boiled eggs, can become good partners on the way to lose weight. Remember to bring this guide with you when facing the breakfast cabinet tomorrow morning.
