*White Eggs V/S Brown Eggs?*

We’ve all noticed the difference in price at the grocery store as we stand scratching our heads, but have you ever stopped to wonder what the difference really is between white and brown eggs? Most of us inevitably choose whichever eggs are on sale, or we just buy the color egg we’ve always bought. Well, it turns out there actually is a difference between white and brown eggs.

🐔 *It’s all about the chicken*

The answer is so simple that you may be surprised. White-feathered chickens with white ear lobes lay white eggs and red-feathered ones with red ear lobes lay brown eggs (this may not apply to all breeds). And besides that, there are certain chickens that even lay speckled eggs and blue eggs. But when you get down to the egg, nutritionally there is no difference — it’s all just in the looks.

_Why are brown eggs more expensive?_💰

Many people think that brown eggs must be better than white eggs because they’re more expensive, but that’s not the case. What makes brown eggs more expensive is as simple as size — the chickens that lay brown eggs are larger than those that lay white eggs and thus their feed costs more. As a result, the brown eggs are priced higher.

_Is there any difference in the shell?_🌕

Other than the color, there is no difference between the shell of a white egg and a brown egg. Some people make the assumption that brown egg shells are harder than white, but that’s not the case. What’s true is that younger chickens lay eggs with harder shells.

_Is there any difference in the yolk?_🎯

Some people say that brown eggs have a yolk that’s more richly colored than white eggs. The type of feed that chickens eat can vary, so the more corn they eat, the yellower the yolks. So it’s not necessarily the color of the shell that predicts the intense color of the yolk.

5 Superfruits You Must Add To Your Weight Loss Diet

While losing weight may seem like a herculean task with efforts focused on reducing the intake of calories, in reality weight loss is a lot more about providing the body with the right kind of calories. It involves watching what you eat, exercising on a regular basis, drinking adequate amount of fluids and ensuring a good night’s sleep.

If you are following a healthy diet plan and wan sustained weight loss, it might be a great idea to consider these “Superfruits” which will help you lose weight and at the same time provide you essential nutrients and vitamins.

1 . Apple

-Full of rich flavor, an apple is sure to fill you with the hunger-satiating fiber.

-If you snack on one large apple (with the skin) that contains about 52 calories, and you’ll consume approximately 5.5 grams of fiber.

-It does not have any fat or sodium.

-Having an apple just before a meal usually helps you deal with cravings for high carbohydrate intake and you are bound to take in less calories than during a meal without an apple.

2 . Watermelon

-If you were to be given the most inexpensive way to lose weight, it would be none other than a watermelon diet.

-Watermelon has the capacity to hold on water and it gives you a refreshing feeling.

-Two cups of cubed watermelon (250 grams) has about 75 calories but no fat. A two cup serving also gives you one gram of fiber.

-Being a rich source of amino acids called arginine, it helps you burn excess fat in your body.

3 . Guava

-A tropical fruit that is packed with a lot of health benefits and is a great option when it comes to weight loss.

-Being high in fiber and low glycemic index, this fruit has become a first choice for even diabetics in their weight loss programs.

-It helps you lose weight by regulating your metabolism.

-About 100 gm of this fruit will give you 68 calories. Raw guavas seasoned with chili powder makes for a tasty, low in sugar snack.

4 . Banana

-Bananas can aid your weight loss regime due to the presence of a lot of fiber and resistant starch in it.

-A 100 gram serving of banana will provide you with 89 calories, 27 grams of carbs, 3 grams of satiating fiber and just 12 grams of sugar.

-If you really need to grab an instant-calorie food after a heavy workout, have a banana rather than the energy bar and revel in its natural benefits

5 . Pear

-This humble fruit will give you the necessary fiber punch if you have it in the right amount.

-Pears are a boon for our digestive system helping us get rid of toxic elements in the body.

-A medium sized pear (100 grams) fulfils around 24% of your daily fiber requirement and is about 60 calories.

-Pears reduce your cholesterol content and the fiber adds in a few more hours before you are really hungry.

So have these nutrition packed fruits in your diet chart every day and feel the difference in losing weight the fruity way!Eat Healthy, Stay Healthy!
