Here Are 5 Foods You Should Avoid Consuming With Eggs: 

1. Soy Milk 

We all know that soy milk is one of the best sources of plant-based protein. However, we should avoid consuming it with eggs. By eating both these things together, the amount of protein in the body increases rapidly and can hinder its absorption.  

2. Tea

Many people like to eat eggs with tea for breakfast. Some have it for digestion while others have it to get rid of the unpleasant odour. This food combination in reality, can lead to several health problems such as constipation, gas and acidity.  According to a study by the Journal of Nutrition, drinking tea with eggs can reduce the amount of protein that we absorb by 17 per cent. 

3. Sugar 

Another food that you should completely avoid consuming with eggs is sugar. When consumed together, the amino acids released from both of them can become toxic for the human body. It can also create clots in your blood.  

4. Banana

If you’re someone who has been consuming eggs and bananas together, it’s time you wait and stop. This food combination is heavy on the stomach and can take a longer time to digest. Therefore, it’s best to enjoy them separately as a part of a healthy diet.  

5. Meat 

The excess fat and protein in eggs and meat can make this combination difficult to digest. Consuming them together can also make you feel tired and lethargic, which is why you should avoid eating eggs with meat. 

So, next time you plan to eat eggs, make sure to avoid these foods and keep digestive issues at bay!
