Step 5: To assemble the eggs one by one, roll one egg on the flour bowl and place it at the centre of the flattened minced chicken mixture. Gently encase the egg so that it is covered completely with the minced chicken. Then dip this covered egg in the flour, and then the egg-milk mixture, and finally with the breadcrumbs. Repeat this procedure once again to ensure that the boiled egg inside won’t burst out open. Do this with the remaining eggs.

You are working hard to lose weight, but not seeing the results that you had hoped for? well, this can be due to various reasons. For instance, you might not be following a diet which will be beneficial for you in losing weight. That’s why we brought you a very effective method. A low-carb and high-protein meals-based diet along with moderate physical activity can be a highly effective method to reach your goals.
The logic behind this effective method is simple. Eat low carbs and simultaneously high protein intake so that you will feel satiated for a longer time. Also, protein provides more essential nutrients per calorie than fat or carbohydrates.
Moreover, a low-carb and high-protein meals diet causes less fluctuation in blood sugars. And there are other benefits, such as raising “good” HDL cholesterol while lowering your blood pressure, triglycerides, and “bad” LDL cholesterol.
The study in Nutrients randomized 35 overweight or obese adults without diabetes to either a high-protein diet (30% calories from protein, 40% carbs, and 30% fat) or a low-glycemic index diet (20% protein, 50% carbs, and 30% fat) for four weeks.
The subjects then switched to the other diet during the remaining four weeks. Both diets were energy-deficit, providing a 30% calorie reduction from daily energy needs.
However, those who started with the high-protein diet lost more fat mass than those who started with the low-glycemic diet — 4.6 kilos (10 pounds) versus 2.2 kilos (4.8 pounds). And those on the high-protein diet showed better maintenance of lean muscle mass.
Furthermore, based on these study results, we can conclude that higher protein intake is beneficial for losing fat mass and retaining lean body mass, even when part of an energy-restricted diet.
