From nutritionists to fitness gurus, there’s a reason everyone is asking you to amp up your daily protein intake and most of them unanimously agree that eggs as an obvious source, especially when it comes to burning off excess fat.

Think  about it, if metabolic compensation didn’t kick in, losing weight would have been a cakewalk for everyone! The more you try to slash down calorie...
