Eggs are one of the best dietary sources of lutein and zeaxanthin — antioxidants that accumulate in the retina.
These compounds:
- Reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
- Lower the chance of cataracts
- Shield your eyes from harmful blue light (from screens and the sun)
And here’s the kicker:
The fat in eggs helps your body absorb these antioxidants far better than from plant sources alone.

Studies show that people who eat eggs for breakfast:
- Feel fuller longer
- Eat fewer calories throughout the day
- Lose more weight and belly fat than those who eat bagels or cereal
One study found that overweight women who ate eggs for breakfast lost 65% more weight over 8 weeks.
