Cracking an Egg’s
Nutrition
Did you know that eggs are an excellent and inexpensive source of protein? Were you aware that eggs several times per week are not responsible for increasing your cholesterol levels? The protein in eggs is the highest-quality protein found in any food and one egg provides only 70 calories! Studies have demonstrated that healthy adults can enjoy an egg at least three times per week without increasing their risk for heart disease. Additionally, the amount of cholesterol in eggs has been decreasing due to changes in the diet of egg-producing hens. A final benefit of eggs is that their vitamin D content is higher than previously reported. The high quality protein, low calorie food option, lower cholesterol content and higher vitamin D level are all good reasons to enjoy an egg at least several times per week.
