The singer is supposedly very strict in her menu choice each morning and has rarely strayed from this dish
Beyonce has millions of fans all around the world, some in awe of the singer’s slender figure and wondering how she maintains this. It might be down to her very simple breakfast routine.
According to reports, those close to the mother-of-three claim her go-to morning meal often consists of “beaten and scrambled egg whites.” The star often pairs this simple, low-calorie option with some nutritious “vegetable juice” or a glass of low-fat milk and some cereal.
This might not be the most exciting combination – and probably the last thing you’d expect an A-lister like Beyonce to be eating. However, the star will reap plenty of health benefits from the food.
People often eat just the whites of an egg for better weight management. This is because the entire fat content of an egg is actually in the yolk alone, making the outer whites completely fat-free and, therefore, lower in calories and cholesterol.
Aside from this, people wanting to increase their protein intake might want to consider egg whites—despite them not looking like the best option on paper. Whilst both parts contain some protein, research has found that, per 100g, egg whites have nearly 11g of protein compared to the yolk’s nearly 17g.
It won’t take a genius to notice that one appears better. But there’s a reason people are seeing better results from egg whites alone.
A Healthline report claims that you should, in theory, be able to eat more egg whites than yolks to increase your protein intake without significantly affecting your calorie goals. Overeating for the sake of additional protein may lead to weight gain in the long run.
Similar famous faces enjoy a basic breakfast of eggs, including former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham. The 50-year-old pairs her fat-free egg whites with avocado – a known superfood that’s great for your heart, eyes, skin and digestive health.
Eggs are a common supermarket item that many people enjoy daily, but they’re not suitable for everyone. Those with allergies will want to avoid them.
According to Cleavland Clinic, most egg allergies are attributed to proteins found in eggs. Given that egg whites are almost pure protein, eating egg whites could make any reaction worse than eating a whole egg.
You should talk to your doctor before making any diet changes, especially if you have certain conditions or take any medications. A doctor can help ensure your diet is safe and doesn’t conflict with your health.
