Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Intervention groupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants randomized to the intervention group will receive six premade egg-containing breakfast meals per week in the form of a 3-day rotating menu. Each meal contains 2 eggs to provide 12 eggs per week for a duration of 12 weeks.
Group II: Control groupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants randomized to the control group will receive breakfast meals in the form of a 3-day rotating menu including typical foods found in American diets excluding eggs, e.g., corn flakes, milk, sausage, granola bars, fruit. Control recipes are matched to the intervention foods on total energy and saturated fat and to the 'What We Eat in America' on percent energy from macronutrients.
