The idea is to calculate your caloric intake for a day and reduce those calories while maintaining a high-calorie breakfast; remember, breakfast is what sets the tone for the day. You can start with a high-calorie count for breakfast as you reduce the count for lunch and supper\/dinner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A caloric deficit is when you consume fewer calories than your body uses in the day (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC8017325\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

Therefore, you would need approximately 7 large eggs to reach 500 calories (as 7 eggs x 71.5 calories each = 500.5 calories).
