Eggs are a rich source of protein, and combining them with large amounts of soy may reduce how efficiently the body breaks down and absorbs that protein.
This doesn’t mean you can never eat them together, but frequent large combinations might not be ideal for optimal protein digestion.
2. Eggs and Sugary Foods
In some desserts and breakfast meals, eggs are combined with large amounts of sugar. While this is common in baking, cooking eggs with excessive sugar at high heat can lead to the formation of compounds known as glycation products.
These compounds may contribute to inflammation and may reduce the nutritional quality of the food when consumed frequently.
For everyday meals, it’s generally healthier to pair eggs with vegetables, whole grains, or healthy fats instead of sugary foods.
