Hi,

Yes, it can cause heat production in the body. When food is ingested in an environmental temperature above 25°C. the energy metabolism increases. this is termed as specific dynamic action. Whereas dietary fat is very easy to process and has very little heat generating effect, while proteins like egg white is hard to process and has a much larger heat generating effect. Excessive consumption of proteins will result in their conversion to fat however, by consuming 2 white eggs daily and not doing regular workouts in the gym will not cause such effect.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
