Rating (out of 5): 3

Eggs are commonly recommended as a food to support energy levels, and this use is primarily justified by scientific evidence. Eggs are a nutrient-dense food, providing high-quality protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins (such as B12, riboflavin, and folate), and minerals (including iron and phosphorus). Protein and B vitamins are especially important for energy metabolism. Vitamin B12 and riboflavin serve as cofactors in cellular energy production pathways, while high-quality protein helps maintain muscle mass and supports metabolic rate. Several clinical studies have demonstrated that consuming eggs as part of breakfast can lead to increased satiety and improved energy levels throughout the day, compared to carbohydrate-rich breakfasts. However, direct research measuring eggs' effects on subjective energy or fatigue is limited. The evidence primarily comes from mechanistic nutritional studies and broader dietary intervention trials rather than randomized controlled trials specifically targeting energy or fatigue as endpoints. Overall, eggs are scientifically supported as a food that can contribute to sustained energy due to their nutrient profile, but more direct research is needed to establish the extent of their impact on perceived energy levels.
