About Egg
A common high-quality protein source; good daily protein benchmark.
Health Benefits of Egg
Complete high-quality protein
Egg protein's amino-acid profile is close to human needs, with among the best bioavailability in natural foods. One medium egg (~50g) provides about 6-7g of quality protein, a convenient daily source.
Nutrient-dense yolk
The yolk carries lecithin, vitamins A, D, B-group, plus iron, zinc and selenium. Although the yolk is higher in fat, most is unsaturated and moderate intake is beneficial for health.
Cooking method changes calories
Boiled eggs and steamed egg custard add almost no calories. Fried and scrambled eggs add significant calories depending on oil. Prefer boiling/steaming daily to cut extra oil.
