According to nutritionist Pratiksha Kadam from Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital (India), eggs are a source of high-quality protein, containing all 9 essential amino acids that help build and repair muscles. In addition, eggs also contain vitamin B12, choline (good for the brain), lutein (good for the eyes) and give a feeling of fullness for longer.
These factors make eggs an ideal choice for vegetarians or people who need to control their weight.
However, according to indianexpress, reasonable egg consumption is an issue to consider. Clinical nutritionist Umang Malhotra (Fitelo) said that a large egg provides about 6-7g of protein with an acid Amin score of 1.0, which is the highest possible level, equivalent to milk and meat.
In particular, whiteheads are rich in protein while yellowheads provide important vitamins, fats and minerals such as vitamins A, D, E, B12 and lecithin.
With 3 eggs a day, you absorb about 1821g of protein. But according to expert Kadam, this number is not enough if it is the only source of protein per day. Especially at breakfast, you should supplement at least 40-50g of protein to maintain effective metabolism and recover the body after sleeping or exercising.
Although eggs are very nutritious, consuming too much every day has potential risks. An egg contains about 186mg of cholesterol. Exceeding the recommended amount can affect cardiovascular health, especially in people with a history of heart disease.
In addition, frying eggs with a lot of fat can increase bad cholesterol (LDL). Excess protein can also negatively affect kidney function and cause indigestion in some people.
Thus, eating 3 eggs a day is not harmful if combined with a varied diet, rich in green vegetables, fiber and other protein sources.
However, to ensure safety and suitability for each person's physical condition, it is advisable to consult a nutritionist before applying a diet rich in eggs for a long time.
