Can the way you cook a egg be more filling than the other?

    I like making omelettes with an egg and a tablespoon of yogurt. It looks more like a main meal, especially with a filling.

    I think its probably to do with how its been processed. The more processed something is, the easier to digest and doesn't keep you as full longer. It might also be that a boiled egg keeps its moisture. Also, with the veggies, sometimes if they are overcooked they break down too quick and don't 'fill' you.

    I read an article once that hard boiling or poaching eggs was better for you than frying or scrambling because the high temps needed when you fry or scramble breaks down some of the nutrients in the egg. I wish I could find the link again but I didn't have any luck. I'm not 100% sure I'm saying that correctly.

    However, if this theory was true it would explain, to some degree what you are saying because the eggs that haven't been broken down by cooking would take longer for your own body to digest thus leaving you more satisfied.

    My strategy is to let the egg hatch and grow into a chicken. Then eat that. It's very filling.
