According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), a medium-sized egg contains approximately 70 calories, 6 grams of protein, 5 grams of fat, and 187 milligrams of cholesterol.
Eggs contain vitamins A, D, E, K, B1, B6, B12, and other vitamins, with relatively high levels of vitamins D and B12. Vitamin D helps absorb calcium, playing a crucial role in bone and muscle development. Vitamin B12 helps the body’s nervous system function normally.
The protein in eggs is of good quality and contains essential amino acids necessary for the human body, providing the energy needed for the body and aiding in tissue repair.
