Protein that gets you to lunch
One large egg has 6.3g protein. In a study, men who had eggs for breakfast felt fuller and ate less over the next 24 hours than after a bagel breakfast.
Choline for a clearer head
One egg holds about 147mg choline, a nutrient your brain and nerves use for memory, mood and muscle control, and every cell uses to build its outer membrane.
B vitamins for real energy
Eggs supply riboflavin, which your cells use as a coenzyme to turn the food on your desk lunch into usable energy all afternoon.
Support for screen tired eyes
Egg yolk is a well absorbed source of lutein and zeaxanthin. In one study, eating one egg a day for five weeks raised blood levels of both carotenoids, which build up in the eye and support long-term eye health.
A rare food source of vitamin D
Desk jobs mean less midday sun, and low vitamin D is common among indoor workers. Egg yolk is naturally one of the few food sources of it.
A good egg keeps a Multan desk day running, from the first meeting to the last.
