Summary

This study tested whether eating at least two eggs daily can help cancer survivors restore lost muscle and improve their quality of life after treatment. Only 2 people took part, making it a very small feasibility trial. Researchers measured protein intake, body weight, and overall well-being over 8 weeks. The goal was to see if a simple whole-food approach could meet protein needs better than standard care.
