New research shows that ditching complex carbohydrates and saying, "yes, please!" To eggs for breakfast can help target your belly fat.

A recent study found that women who ate two eggs for breakfast at least 5 days a week lost 65 percent more weight and averaged an 84 percent greater reduction in waist circumference than those who had complex carbohydrates like a bagel for breakfast.

Another study found that women who ate an egg-based breakfast ate an average of 420 calories LESS over 36 hours than those who also ate a bagel for breakfast with the same number of calories, according to researchers at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center.
