Dr. Will Cole states in his recent blog about the topic that, “When it comes to the debate over eggs, I’d be remiss if I didn’t start out with the fact that eggs contain a lot of beneficial, healthy nutrients. With 6 grams of protein, 5 grams of fat, and only about 80 calories, an egg is incredibly nutrient-dense. In addition to protein and fat, an egg also contains — 6% of the RDA of vitamin A, 5% of the RDA of folate, 7% of the RDA of vitamin B5, 9% of the RDA of vitamin B12, 15% of the RDA of vitamin B2, 9% of the RDA of phosphorus, 22% of the RDA of selenium, and 100 mg of choline.“
That 100 milligrams of choline in an egg is an important nutrient, working to support cell membranes and ultimately, helping with your body’s metabolism.
